Salcido Law Firm

I've done plenty of research, and i don't know of any Utah based law firm that has a better track record of winning for their clients. Salcido law wins over and over again in the courtroom, but also manages some incredible plea deals for their clients as well. Because then you have the facts and experience on your side, the prosecutors are significantly more reasonable and fair.

Salcido law firm was great to work wirh from the start. Chris took the time we needed and educated us on what would happen and what we should do. Jerry was great to work with in court and great at negotiating with other attorneys and helping us understand the whole process. Highly recommend the Salcido team

I would highly recommend Salcido law firm to anyone that is seeking legal representation. Jerry and Chris really took care of me and helped me understand the whole process from start to finish. There was never a question left unanswered. The Salcido group were truly professionals and are backed by experience. They are here to help YOU.

I recently had a very troubling experience with this firm involving my case. My mother called the office and paid what she was told was a retainer for attorney Spencer Salcido before anyone from the firm had ever spoken to me. That same day, my mother texted the firm and clearly stated that I had not agreed to hire them, that any funds were to be held in trust pending my decision, and that I did not consider myself to have counsel yet. Despite that, the next morning Mr. Salcido/his firm filed an Appearance of Counsel and additional motions in my case. I had never spoken to him, never signed an appearance or retainer agreement (nor had my mother signed the retainer agreement), and I had consistently stated that I did not want several of the things that were requested in those motions. I only learned about all of this by logging into the court system and seeing filings made under my name. When I confronted the firm, Mr. Salcido agreed to withdraw after I made it clear I had never consented to representation. A staff member also told me, "we probably weren't going to be taking on your case anyway," which was especially frustrating given that they had already taken my mother's payment and filed documents with the court as if they represented me. This experience was extremely upsetting, especially because my case centers on issues of consent and police conduct, and I am a trauma survivor with Complex PTSD. Having an attorney I'd never met appear in my case and make strategic decisions (including things I had explicitly stated I did not want) without my knowledge or consent has seriously damaged my trust. I am sharing this so that other potential clients, especially those in vulnerable positions, are aware of how my intake and case were handled here and can make informed decisions about whether this is the right firm for them.

Edit: they disagree with what transpired but offer no rebuttal. Just admit you screwed me and my case royally. My experience with this firm has been extremely disappointing. What should have been a straightforward case turned into several years of unnecessary delays, poor communication, and costly mistakes. 1. After paying my retainer, it took more than a year for any progress to be made. I repeatedly reached out through the portal and via email, but nothing moved forward until I left a one-star review only then did Jon contact me about the case. They also failed to show up for my first court appearance. 2. Opposing counsel submitted evidence more than a month before our hearing, but I wasn't informed or given access to it until after the hearing about five days later. This lack of preparation and communication cost me over $8,000. The evidence contained multiple items unrelated to my responsibility, which could have easily been refuted had I been given the opportunity to review it. 3. During the child support hearing, I was penalized for not providing three years of financial records within two months. However, when Jon requested the opposing party's income documents, we never received them even after several follow-ups and my direct requests for an order to show cause. Four months later, nothing has been done. Opposing counsel's income figures were based on outdated information, creating a completely unfair comparison. To make matters worse, the opposing firm filed the final order without ensuring income proof was submitted, which has now cost me an additional $3,500 in back child support and jeopardized my right to a tax exemption for my son. When I asked for help resolving this, the only response I got was a request for another $4,900 retainer to challenge the ruling that this office messed up on. I've since spoken with another attorney who reviewed my case and was shocked at how it was handled. Between legal fees and financial losses, this experience has cost me roughly $14,000 when it should have been a case resulting in my reimbursement and support. I had high hopes when I retained this firm, but it's been a major disappointment from start to finish.
