Scalley Reading Bates Hansen & Rasmussen, P.C.

Mitch Brooks and Diana Olmedo have been handling my case and they've been fantastic, taking great care and detail to my needs. Family law can be so emotional in nature and they've been extremely professional and patient throughout. 10/10 recommend them both

I cannot recommend Marlon Bates highly enough. He is truly one of the few genuine and compassionate attorneys still out there. From the beginning, it was clear that he cares deeply about people--not just cases. He isn't driven by billable hours or financial gain, but by a real desire to help and make a meaningful difference. He's incredibly knowledgeable, with a strong reputation and respected presence in the Utah legal community. His credentials and experience speak for themselves and he is well-regarded by his peers. What stood out most to me was how approachable and personable he is. He truly listened, never dismissed my concerns, and always gave me his time--even when I knew he had a busy schedule. I never felt rushed and always felt heard. He is a true advocate for truth and justice and it's rare to find someone in this profession with such integrity and heart.

I recommend Mitchell Brooks every chance I get. I have a very litigious ex who has occupied (to the best of his ability and as his pocketbook allows) for nearly 15 years. It has been exhausting. I know many women in similar situations and they cannot believe the success I have managed to have due, in large part, to Mitch's efforts. He's been a life-saver!

Can't speak for their actual work as attorneys but came away very unimpressed after several interactions. No returned phone calls or emails for long stretches, then when following up, the paralegal will only arrange a paid consultation and gives rates for a fairly mediocre credentialed/experienced lawyer priced at $475/hr. This after getting much better responsiveness from more elite law firms in town, where attorneys actually get on the phone. Can't imagine ever calling these guys again.

We recently had an initial consultation phone call with Marlon Bates, and Marlon spent about 40 minutes patiently answering all of our real estate questions. What really stood out to us was that, even though we came into the conversation thinking we knew what we wanted to do, Marlon talked us out of it by giving us honest, thoughtful advice that genuinely put our best interests first instead of trying to convince us to use his services. He carefully weighed out all the pros and cons and even provided alternative solutions that might better fit our needs. It's clear that Marlon genuinely cares about his clients and is more interested in helping them make the right decision than just securing business. If you're looking for a real estate lawyer who will give you honest, expert guidance without any pressure, Marlon Bates is the person to call!
