My experience with Attorney Matt Bangerter was, in my honest opinion, one of the most painful and professionally damaging experiences of my life. I am writing this review because I wish someone had warned me.
I hired Mr. Bangerter expecting a strong, attentive defense. Instead, I was left feeling completely unsupported and uninformed at every step. In my personal experience, he did not review evidence with me, did not go over witness statements, and did not prepare me for what was happening in my own case. I repeatedly felt like an outsider looking in on my own legal situation.
Throughout the time he represented me, communication was extremely poor. Calls and messages often went unanswered, important case details were not explained, and I was never given the clarity or guidance I desperately needed. I often felt ignored, alone, and left in the dark during one of the most terrifying periods of my life.
The consequences of how my case was handled have been catastrophic for me. Because of the outcome, I lost the career I built over 14 years, my professional license was suspended, and I experienced professional backlash and long-term damage to my reputation. The financial and emotional toll has been severe and continues to affect my life today.
In my personal opinion, the level of communication, preparation, and support I received was far below what any client should ever have to experience--especially in a case with such life-altering consequences. I would strongly urge anyone considering this attorney to ask very direct questions about how he communicates, how he reviews evidence with clients, and how involved he will actually be in your defense.
This review is based entirely on my own experience and the serious harm I suffered. I hope it helps others make a more informed decision than I did.

Matt was absolutely amazing! He did his research and was super knowledgeable about my case. He also helped with how stress, upset, and scared I was. Very awesome person to have by your side in any case. He was kind, caring, and understanding. I can't say enough good things about this gentleman. Had my case won before we even went to court. Highly recommend to anyone and if I ever need a lawyer again he is the guy I will turn to!

My fiance and I needed to find a good legal partner when my fiance got into a bit of trouble a year ago. We did some research and reviewed Matt Bangerter and meeting him seemed like a good place to begin conversations. Well, not many conversations were needed as we both felt immediately comfortable, confident and supported after talking to Matt. These situations are never easy as there is so much "unexpected" and "unknown" so you want someone who understands how you are feeling and tells you what you need to know about the process, timing and outcomes. Matt was able to do this with us. He made us feel hopeful that justice would be done. In the end - we had the best outcome that we could have ever asked for thanks to Matt's knowledge, hard work and dedication to me and my fiance. We highly recommend him if you are looking for someone who works with you and is not just "a lawyer" Thanks Matt and The Bangerter Law Office.

Matt was referred to me by a friend to help with a child support issue . He was amazing. Very knowledgeable and put my mind at ease . Dealing with difficult and emotional issues causes a lot of distress and anxiety. Having the right person to be confident in and trust makes all the difference in the world. Just knowing this is something you don't need to worry about really puts your mind at ease . That is Matt . He is very professional, responsive and has a calming but powerful presence . Important quality to have when helping people with legal issues ! I highly recommend Matt Bangerter.

Matt is very professional and extremely knowledgeable in his practice of law. Additionally, he takes the time to walk through the "realities" of your choices as opposed to just the legal language and standing. He was always responsive any time of day and he was always prepared to answer my questions. Matt gave me peace of mind during the most difficult time of my life and in the end, my result was better than I could ever have asked for. If you need a compassionate, smart, hardworking attorney, call Matt!
