I just went through one of the worst 3 year divorce processess you could imagine. David was my second attorney that I hired about a year ago and I would give anything to make him my first attorney for the following reasons. #1. I got more accomplished with him in the second half of my divorce by a huge margin than I did with my first attorney. #2. He did it all for less than 20% of what I had paid my other attorney because he WILL NOT nickel and dime you in anyway shape and form. Do not be fooled by other attorney's who may charge a smaller retainer because that means nothing when they are calling you every week asking to refill the retainer because they have exchausted it over useless crap. David doesn't do that. He will tell you (at least a ballpark) of what its gonna cost and he will stick to it regardless of what happens. #3 If you are shopping for a divorce lawyer you are about to enter a purgatory you cannot imagine. As far as divorce attorney's go (and I went through one horrible one and shopped around for 4 months to find the right one for my second) he is the closest thing you will find to a rope to get you out of hell. Especially if you are a loving father fighting for your rights, and get custody of your child(ren) from a snake of an ex-wife who wants nothing more than to destroy you. #4. My divorce lasted 28 months. I hired David 20 months into the process and he got more accomplished in the last 8 months than the previous months combined. (and for far less money) #5. Probably the most important part of all of this is that David is a pitbull to fight for your rights. (and be advised that his argumentative and abrasive nature might actually get you in a heated discussion or two between the two of you...but I promise you that is exactly what you want in a divorce attorney. David is that way all the time and he WILL use that same ferocity against opposing council and the judge). Do not be turned off by his bluntness, and realism. It is exactly what you are looking for to get you fair justice in a divorce case. Even on the parts of your case you don't end up winning (because you can't control what a judge will do) he will make the best possible arguments to fight for you and what is yours(and he's so good he WILL get most of it), and he will do it with full knowledge of the law and absolute resolve to get everything he can for you. #6 He is FULLY COMPETENT at everything in divorce law and proceedure and all of that. He has been in practice for years, and knows the system, the rules, the players (other attorneys and the judges) and exactly the right and aggressive way to get it done. If you are a father like me fighting for your rights to get custody of your child, and not have to pay your x-wife every dime you've ever had to get it....STOP SHOPPING FOR ATTORNEYS and hire David. I will say it again...I wish to God I had found him from the beginning. If I could give 10 stars I would. He's very very very good, and he knows exactly what he is doing!!!! 'nuff said.

David Pedrazas represented my boyfriend in a Divorce/Custody. He's now ex wife had taken his 4 children across country and prohibited the kids to have any relationship with my boyfriend for almost 2 years, we had to hire a Private investigator and had no luck until his oldest contacted him behind the mothers back. The ex wife justified her actions in court by making allegations of domestic abuse. It was a difficult case but David was so knowledgeable, honest and he fought for my boyfriend's truth. At the end the judge granted relocation of the kids and now my boyfriend has sole physical custody of his kids. I can't express enough how much he helped our family and how grateful we are for him. I really believe without him we wouldn't have won this case, he basically got everything my boyfriend wanted. David really cares about his clients and he's joy at the end of court demonstrated his commitment to bringing the children home. Thank you again David for your tremendous help we are immensely grateful.

David represented me during my divorce last year. He was both knowledgeable and friendly during a long legal battle. He is well connected legally and definitely reduced my financial exposure. I highly recommend using his services.

David Pedrazas helped me with a jurisdiction case. I lived in a separate state with my children while my husband lived in Utah and David was able to help me so I never needed to travel. He knew exactly what to do and was able to win 2 cases for me! Couldn't have done it without him!

David is a true professional at its finest! He was not only professional but he was nice, funny, and super responsive. I was at a time where I couldn’t afford much but I needed this divorce, BADLY! I had contacted many lawyers, and David was the only one to tell “yes let’s do this”. I went into his office, filled out the paperwork, and today 3 months later I’m done! Thank you so much David!!

A true no nonsense professional, who knows his craft. Outstanding experience and dedication to your case. He is very responsive through email and phone calls. I am an active duty military officer and had a complicated child support case that covered three different States. Other lawyers’ advise me not to push the case forward. However, after turning over all my legal documents to David (10 years’ worth, multiple court rulings, in three States), David reviewed all the paperwork, did a thorough assessment in which we prevailed. David conducted his research on my case, investigated our options, and came up with a strategic plan to execute. Through his intense research, he discovered a valuable piece of information that other lawyers missed, and used it in the execution of our plan. David was spot on with the decisions he expected we would get from the judge. He highlight areas to me where there may be risk or challenges, and came up with strong counterarguments that ultimately won our case. In the end, David’s expertise and his execution in front of the Judge saved me over 50K in child support. He had to present arguments to the Court three different times, on different aspects of the case, and David achieved victories all three times. In Court; His presence, arguments and counterarguments, were unmatched. He thoroughly anticipated and answer the Judges questions, he came to court each and every time extremely well prepared. His Court room demeanor commands the respect of the Court and that of his peers. David is extremely well respected throughout the Salt Lake legal community, his positive reputation is an asset to you and your case. If you are first starting out with a case, or if you have had difficulty with other lawyers in the past, and want a clean start and a full review of your options, You cannot find a more detailed, professional, and straight forward lawyer than David Pedrazas.

I worked for David as a legal assistant for about a year and a half. I did not know David beforehand. My friend had hired him for her divorce and she was impressed by his character. When I interviewed with David, I was immediately impressed by him and his upfront and honest attitude. He will not tell you what you want to hear just to blow smoke up your skirt; he will tell you what needs to be said, whether you like it or not. Having gone through four different attorneys during my husband’s custody case with his ex-wife, I came to realize how important that is and how rare that trait is to find in attorneys. David is never out to make a “quick buck” and screw you over on billing, as I have seen other attorneys do. He is extremely knowledgeable and will defend his clients with the upmost integrity. My husband hired David to complete his custody case after seeing how impressed with him I was. Sadly enough, my husband and I are now going through a divorce and I cannot hire David, as that would create a conflict since he previously represented my husband. I have hired another attorney for my divorce and although he is good, he does not represent me as well as I know David would. I would recommend David to anyone going through a divorce or custody case- especially if there is high conflict. His knowledge, persistence, and punctuality cannot be beaten.

I came to Mr. Pedrazas desperate and looking for help for my custody case since my ex-husband created a very dirty case against me. I though there was nothing that I can rescue from my case because in the past I hadn't a good representation. I needed someone who could really defend me and give me again the hope of recovering my case. Finally after looking for a good attorney in Utah I founded Mr. Pedrazas, who gave me back the hope. I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. After I saw him at court I Knew that he was the lawyer I was waiting for. We still in the process, but I just highly recommend Mr. Pedrazas. I am so thankful.

David is extremely intelligent and knows Utah Law!!!! He helped me in a case that was super delicate and life changing. David is very trustworthy and transparent. I was always informed and never surprised. He took my case to the Court of Appeals, and it ended in my favor. Divorce never ends in a victory, but I am SO glad he was on my side. My family and I are greatful, and able to move on and enjoy life to its fullest! Thank you, David!

David is a true professional at its finest! He was not only professional but he was nice, funny, and super responsive. I was at a time where I couldn’t afford much but I needed this divorce, BADLY! I had contacted many lawyers, and David was the only one to tell “yes let’s do this”. I went into his office, filled out the paperwork, and today 3 months later I’m done! Thank you so much David!!

A true no nonsense professional, who knows his craft. Outstanding experience and dedication to your case. He is very responsive through email and phone calls. I am an active duty military officer and had a complicated child support case that covered three different States. Other lawyers’ advise me not to push the case forward. However, after turning over all my legal documents to David (10 years’ worth, multiple court rulings, in three States), David reviewed all the paperwork, did a thorough assessment in which we prevailed. David conducted his research on my case, investigated our options, and came up with a strategic plan to execute. Through his intense research, he discovered a valuable piece of information that other lawyers missed, and used it in the execution of our plan. David was spot on with the decisions he expected we would get from the judge. He highlight areas to me where there may be risk or challenges, and came up with strong counterarguments that ultimately won our case. In the end, David’s expertise and his execution in front of the Judge saved me over 50K in child support. He had to present arguments to the Court three different times, on different aspects of the case, and David achieved victories all three times. In Court; His presence, arguments and counterarguments, were unmatched. He thoroughly anticipated and answer the Judges questions, he came to court each and every time extremely well prepared. His Court room demeanor commands the respect of the Court and that of his peers. David is extremely well respected throughout the Salt Lake legal community, his positive reputation is an asset to you and your case. If you are first starting out with a case, or if you have had difficulty with other lawyers in the past, and want a clean start and a full review of your options, You cannot find a more detailed, professional, and straight forward lawyer than David Pedrazas.

I worked for David as a legal assistant for about a year and a half. I did not know David beforehand. My friend had hired him for her divorce and she was impressed by his character. When I interviewed with David, I was immediately impressed by him and his upfront and honest attitude. He will not tell you what you want to hear just to blow smoke up your skirt; he will tell you what needs to be said, whether you like it or not. Having gone through four different attorneys during my husband’s custody case with his ex-wife, I came to realize how important that is and how rare that trait is to find in attorneys. David is never out to make a “quick buck” and screw you over on billing, as I have seen other attorneys do. He is extremely knowledgeable and will defend his clients with the upmost integrity. My husband hired David to complete his custody case after seeing how impressed with him I was. Sadly enough, my husband and I are now going through a divorce and I cannot hire David, as that would create a conflict since he previously represented my husband. I have hired another attorney for my divorce and although he is good, he does not represent me as well as I know David would. I would recommend David to anyone going through a divorce or custody case- especially if there is high conflict. His knowledge, persistence, and punctuality cannot be beaten.

I came to Mr. Pedrazas desperate and looking for help for my custody case since my ex-husband created a very dirty case against me. I though there was nothing that I can rescue from my case because in the past I hadn't a good representation. I needed someone who could really defend me and give me again the hope of recovering my case. Finally after looking for a good attorney in Utah I founded Mr. Pedrazas, who gave me back the hope. I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. After I saw him at court I Knew that he was the lawyer I was waiting for. We still in the process, but I just highly recommend Mr. Pedrazas. I am so thankful.

David is extremely intelligent and knows Utah Law!!!! He helped me in a case that was super delicate and life changing. David is very trustworthy and transparent. I was always informed and never surprised. He took my case to the Court of Appeals, and it ended in my favor. Divorce never ends in a victory, but I am SO glad he was on my side. My family and I are greatful, and able to move on and enjoy life to its fullest! Thank you, David!

I just went through one of the worst 3 year divorce processess you could imagine. David was my second attorney that I hired about a year ago and I would give anything to make him my first attorney for the following reasons. #1. I got more accomplished with him in the second half of my divorce by a huge margin than I did with my first attorney. #2. He did it all for less than 20% of what I had paid my other attorney because he WILL NOT nickel and dime you in anyway shape and form. Do not be fooled by other attorney's who may charge a smaller retainer because that means nothing when they are calling you every week asking to refill the retainer because they have exchausted it over useless crap. David doesn't do that. He will tell you (at least a ballpark) of what its gonna cost and he will stick to it regardless of what happens. #3 If you are shopping for a divorce lawyer you are about to enter a purgatory you cannot imagine. As far as divorce attorney's go (and I went through one horrible one and shopped around for 4 months to find the right one for my second) he is the closest thing you will find to a rope to get you out of hell. Especially if you are a loving father fighting for your rights, and get custody of your child(ren) from a snake of an ex-wife who wants nothing more than to destroy you. #4. My divorce lasted 28 months. I hired David 20 months into the process and he got more accomplished in the last 8 months than the previous months combined. (and for far less money) #5. Probably the most important part of all of this is that David is a pitbull to fight for your rights. (and be advised that his argumentative and abrasive nature might actually get you in a heated discussion or two between the two of you...but I promise you that is exactly what you want in a divorce attorney. David is that way all the time and he WILL use that same ferocity against opposing council and the judge). Do not be turned off by his bluntness, and realism. It is exactly what you are looking for to get you fair justice in a divorce case. Even on the parts of your case you don't end up winning (because you can't control what a judge will do) he will make the best possible arguments to fight for you and what is yours(and he's so good he WILL get most of it), and he will do it with full knowledge of the law and absolute resolve to get everything he can for you. #6 He is FULLY COMPETENT at everything in divorce law and proceedure and all of that. He has been in practice for years, and knows the system, the rules, the players (other attorneys and the judges) and exactly the right and aggressive way to get it done. If you are a father like me fighting for your rights to get custody of your child, and not have to pay your x-wife every dime you've ever had to get it....STOP SHOPPING FOR ATTORNEYS and hire David. I will say it again...I wish to God I had found him from the beginning. If I could give 10 stars I would. He's very very very good, and he knows exactly what he is doing!!!! 'nuff said.

David Pedrazas represented my boyfriend in a Divorce/Custody. He's now ex wife had taken his 4 children across country and prohibited the kids to have any relationship with my boyfriend for almost 2 years, we had to hire a Private investigator and had no luck until his oldest contacted him behind the mothers back. The ex wife justified her actions in court by making allegations of domestic abuse. It was a difficult case but David was so knowledgeable, honest and he fought for my boyfriend's truth. At the end the judge granted relocation of the kids and now my boyfriend has sole physical custody of his kids. I can't express enough how much he helped our family and how grateful we are for him. I really believe without him we wouldn't have won this case, he basically got everything my boyfriend wanted. David really cares about his clients and he's joy at the end of court demonstrated his commitment to bringing the children home. Thank you again David for your tremendous help we are immensely grateful.

Do not be fooled by other attorney's who may charge a smaller retainer because that means nothing when they are calling you every week asking to refill the retainer because they have exchausted it over useless crap.

My divorce lasted 28 months. I hired David 20 months into the process and he got more accomplished in the last 8 months than the previous months combined. (and for far less money) #5. Probably the most important part of all of this is that David is a pitbull to fight for your rights. (and be advised that his argumentative and abrasive nature might actually get you in a heated discussion or two between the two of you...but I promise you that is exactly what you want in a divorce attorney. David is that way all the time and he WILL use that same ferocity against opposing council and the judge). Do not be turned off by his bluntness, and realism. It is exactly what you are looking for to get you fair justice in a divorce case. Even on the parts of your case you don't end up winning (because you can't control what a judge will do) he will make the best possible arguments to fight for you and what is yours(and he's so good he WILL get most of it), and he will do it with full knowledge of the law and absolute resolve to get everything he can for you. #6 He is FULLY COMPETENT at everything in divorce law and proceedure and all of that. He has been in practice for years, and knows the system, the rules, the players (other attorneys and the judges) and exactly the right and aggressive way to get it done. If you are a father like me fighting for your rights to get custody of your child, and not have to pay your x-wife every dime you've ever had to get it....STOP SHOPPING FOR ATTORNEYS and hire David. I will say it again...I wish to God I had found him from the beginning. If I could give 10 stars I would. He's very very very good, and he knows exactly what he is doing!!!! 'nuff said.

David Pedrazas represented my boyfriend in a Divorce/Custody. He's now ex wife had taken his 4 children across country and prohibited the kids to have any relationship with my boyfriend for almost 2 years, we had to hire a Private investigator and had no luck until his oldest contacted him behind the mothers back. The ex wife justified her actions in court by making allegations of domestic abuse. It was a difficult case but David was so knowledgeable, honest and he fought for my boyfriend's truth. At the end the judge granted relocation of the kids and now my boyfriend has sole physical custody of his kids. I can't express enough how much he helped our family and how grateful we are for him. I really believe without him we wouldn't have won this case, he basically got everything my boyfriend wanted. David really cares about his clients and he's joy at the end of court demonstrated his commitment to bringing the children home. Thank you again David for your tremendous help we are immensely grateful.

David Pedrazas helped me with a jurisdiction case. I lived in a separate state with my children while my husband lived in Utah and David was able to help me so I never needed to travel. He knew exactly what to do and was able to win 2 cases for me! Couldn't have done it without him!

I had contacted many lawyers, and David was the only one to tell “yes let’s do this”. I went into his office, filled out the paperwork, and today 3 months later I’m done! Thank you so much David!!

A true no nonsense professional, who knows his craft. Outstanding experience and dedication to your case. He is very responsive through email and phone calls. I am an active duty military officer and had a complicated child support case that covered three different States. Other lawyers’ advise me not to push the case forward. However, after turning over all my legal documents to David (10 years’ worth, multiple court rulings, in three States), David reviewed all the paperwork, did a thorough assessment in which we prevailed. David conducted his research on my case, investigated our options, and came up with a strategic plan to execute. Through his intense research, he discovered a valuable piece of information that other lawyers missed, and used it in the execution of our plan. David was spot on with the decisions he expected we would get from the judge. He highlight areas to me where there may be risk or challenges, and came up with strong counterarguments that ultimately won our case. In the end, David’s expertise and his execution in front of the Judge saved me over 50K in child support. He had to present arguments to the Court three different times, on different aspects of the case, and David achieved victories all three times. In Court; His presence, arguments and counterarguments, were unmatched. He thoroughly anticipated and answer the Judges questions, he came to court each and every time extremely well prepared. His Court room demeanor commands the respect of the Court and that of his peers. David is extremely well respected throughout the Salt Lake legal community, his positive reputation is an asset to you and your case. If you are first starting out with a case, or if you have had difficulty with other lawyers in the past, and want a clean start and a full review of your options, You cannot find a more detailed, professional, and straight forward lawyer than David Pedrazas.

I worked for David as a legal assistant for about a year and a half. I did not know David beforehand. My friend had hired him for her divorce and she was impressed by his character. When I interviewed with David, I was immediately impressed by him and his upfront and honest attitude. He will not tell you what you want to hear just to blow smoke up your skirt; he will tell you what needs to be said, whether you like it or not. Having gone through four different attorneys during my husband’s custody case with his ex-wife, I came to realize how important that is and how rare that trait is to find in attorneys. David is never out to make a “quick buck” and screw you over on billing, as I have seen other attorneys do. He is extremely knowledgeable and will defend his clients with the upmost integrity. My husband hired David to complete his custody case after seeing how impressed with him I was. Sadly enough, my husband and I are now going through a divorce and I cannot hire David, as that would create a conflict since he previously represented my husband. I have hired another attorney for my divorce and although he is good, he does not represent me as well as I know David would. I would recommend David to anyone going through a divorce or custody case- especially if there is high conflict. His knowledge, persistence, and punctuality cannot be beaten.

I came to Mr. Pedrazas desperate and looking for help for my custody case since my ex-husband created a very dirty case against me. I though there was nothing that I can rescue from my case because in the past I hadn't a good representation. I needed someone who could really defend me and give me again the hope of recovering my case. Finally after looking for a good attorney in Utah I founded Mr. Pedrazas, who gave me back the hope. I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. After I saw him at court I Knew that he was the lawyer I was waiting for. We still in the process, but I just highly recommend Mr. Pedrazas. I am so thankful.

I was always informed and never surprised. He took my case to the Court of Appeals, and it ended in my favor. Divorce never ends in a victory, but I am SO glad he was on my side. My family and I are greatful, and able to move on and enjoy life to its fullest! Thank you, David!

Through his intense research, he discovered a valuable piece of information that other lawyers missed, and used it in the execution of our plan. David was spot on with the decisions he expected we would get from the judge. He highlight areas to me where there may be risk or challenges, and came up with strong counterarguments that ultimately won our case. In the end, David’s expertise and his execution in front of the Judge saved me over 50K in child support. He had to present arguments to the Court three different times, on different aspects of the case, and David achieved victories all three times. In Court; His presence, arguments and counterarguments, were unmatched. He thoroughly anticipated and answer the Judges questions, he came to court each and every time extremely well prepared. His Court room demeanor commands the respect of the Court and that of his peers. David is extremely well respected throughout the Salt Lake legal community, his positive reputation is an asset to you and your case. If you are first starting out with a case, or if you have had difficulty with other lawyers in the past, and want a clean start and a full review of your options, You cannot find a more detailed, professional, and straight forward lawyer than David Pedrazas.

I worked for David as a legal assistant for about a year and a half. I did not know David beforehand. My friend had hired him for her divorce and she was impressed by his character. When I interviewed with David, I was immediately impressed by him and his upfront and honest attitude. He will not tell you what you want to hear just to blow smoke up your skirt; he will tell you what needs to be said, whether you like it or not. Having gone through four different attorneys during my husband’s custody case with his ex-wife, I came to realize how important that is and how rare that trait is to find in attorneys. David is never out to make a “quick buck” and screw you over on billing, as I have seen other attorneys do. He is extremely knowledgeable and will defend his clients with the upmost integrity. My husband hired David to complete his custody case after seeing how impressed with him I was. Sadly enough, my husband and I are now going through a divorce and I cannot hire David, as that would create a conflict since he previously represented my husband. I have hired another attorney for my divorce and although he is good, he does not represent me as well as I know David would. I would recommend David to anyone going through a divorce or custody case- especially if there is high conflict. His knowledge, persistence, and punctuality cannot be beaten.

I came to Mr. Pedrazas desperate and looking for help for my custody case since my ex-husband created a very dirty case against me. I though there was nothing that I can rescue from my case because in the past I hadn't a good representation. I needed someone who could really defend me and give me again the hope of recovering my case. Finally after looking for a good attorney in Utah I founded Mr. Pedrazas, who gave me back the hope. I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. After I saw him at court I Knew that he was the lawyer I was waiting for. We still in the process, but I just highly recommend Mr. Pedrazas. I am so thankful.

David is extremely intelligent and knows Utah Law!!!! He helped me in a case that was super delicate and life changing. David is very trustworthy and transparent. I was always informed and never surprised. He took my case to the Court of Appeals, and it ended in my favor. Divorce never ends in a victory, but I am SO glad he was on my side. My family and I are greatful, and able to move on and enjoy life to its fullest! Thank you, David!

I just went through one of the worst 3 year divorce processess you could imagine. David was my second attorney that I hired about a year ago and I would give anything to make him my first attorney for the following reasons. #1. I got more accomplished with him in the second half of my divorce by a huge margin than I did with my first attorney. #2. He did it all for less than 20% of what I had paid my other attorney because he WILL NOT nickel and dime you in anyway shape and form. Do not be fooled by other attorney's who may charge a smaller retainer because that means nothing when they are calling you every week asking to refill the retainer because they have exchausted it over useless crap. David doesn't do that. He will tell you (at least a ballpark) of what its gonna cost and he will stick to it regardless of what happens. #3 If you are shopping for a divorce lawyer you are about to enter a purgatory you cannot imagine. As far as divorce attorney's go (and I went through one horrible one and shopped around for 4 months to find the right one for my second) he is the closest thing you will find to a rope to get you out of hell. Especially if you are a loving father fighting for your rights, and get custody of your child(ren) from a snake of an ex-wife who wants nothing more than to destroy you. #4. My divorce lasted 28 months. I hired David 20 months into the process and he got more accomplished in the last 8 months than the previous months combined. (and for far less money) #5. Probably the most important part of all of this is that David is a pitbull to fight for your rights. (and be advised that his argumentative and abrasive nature might actually get you in a heated discussion or two between the two of you...but I promise you that is exactly what you want in a divorce attorney. David is that way all the time and he WILL use that same ferocity against opposing council and the judge). Do not be turned off by his bluntness, and realism. It is exactly what you are looking for to get you fair justice in a divorce case. Even on the parts of your case you don't end up winning (because you can't control what a judge will do) he will make the best possible arguments to fight for you and what is yours(and he's so good he WILL get most of it), and he will do it with full knowledge of the law and absolute resolve to get everything he can for you. #6 He is FULLY COMPETENT at everything in divorce law and proceedure and all of that. He has been in practice for years, and knows the system, the rules, the players (other attorneys and the judges) and exactly the right and aggressive way to get it done. If you are a father like me fighting for your rights to get custody of your child, and not have to pay your x-wife every dime you've ever had to get it....STOP SHOPPING FOR ATTORNEYS and hire David. I will say it again...I wish to God I had found him from the beginning. If I could give 10 stars I would. He's very very very good, and he knows exactly what he is doing!!!! 'nuff said.

David Pedrazas represented my boyfriend in a Divorce/Custody. He's now ex wife had taken his 4 children across country and prohibited the kids to have any relationship with my boyfriend for almost 2 years, we had to hire a Private investigator and had no luck until his oldest contacted him behind the mothers back. The ex wife justified her actions in court by making allegations of domestic abuse. It was a difficult case but David was so knowledgeable, honest and he fought for my boyfriend's truth. At the end the judge granted relocation of the kids and now my boyfriend has sole physical custody of his kids. I can't express enough how much he helped our family and how grateful we are for him. I really believe without him we wouldn't have won this case, he basically got everything my boyfriend wanted. David really cares about his clients and he's joy at the end of court demonstrated his commitment to bringing the children home. Thank you again David for your tremendous help we are immensely grateful.

I had contacted many lawyers, and David was the only one to tell “yes let’s do this”. I went into his office, filled out the paperwork, and today 3 months later I’m done! Thank you so much David!!

A true no nonsense professional, who knows his craft. Outstanding experience and dedication to your case. He is very responsive through email and phone calls.

My divorce lasted 28 months. I hired David 20 months into the process and he got more accomplished in the last 8 months than the previous months combined. (and for far less money) #5. Probably the most important part of all of this is that David is a pitbull to fight for your rights. (and be advised that his argumentative and abrasive nature might actually get you in a heated discussion or two between the two of you...but I promise you that is exactly what you want in a divorce attorney. David is that way all the time and he WILL use that same ferocity against opposing council and the judge). Do not be turned off by his bluntness, and realism. It is exactly what you are looking for to get you fair justice in a divorce case. Even on the parts of your case you don't end up winning (because you can't control what a judge will do) he will make the best possible arguments to fight for you and what is yours(and he's so good he WILL get most of it), and he will do it with full knowledge of the law and absolute resolve to get everything he can for you. #6 He is FULLY COMPETENT at everything in divorce law and proceedure and all of that. He has been in practice for years, and knows the system, the rules, the players (other attorneys and the judges) and exactly the right and aggressive way to get it done. If you are a father like me fighting for your rights to get custody of your child, and not have to pay your x-wife every dime you've ever had to get it....STOP SHOPPING FOR ATTORNEYS and hire David. I will say it again...I wish to God I had found him from the beginning. If I could give 10 stars I would. He's very very very good, and he knows exactly what he is doing!!!! 'nuff said.

David Pedrazas represented my boyfriend in a Divorce/Custody. He's now ex wife had taken his 4 children across country and prohibited the kids to have any relationship with my boyfriend for almost 2 years, we had to hire a Private investigator and had no luck until his oldest contacted him behind the mothers back. The ex wife justified her actions in court by making allegations of domestic abuse. It was a difficult case but David was so knowledgeable, honest and he fought for my boyfriend's truth. At the end the judge granted relocation of the kids and now my boyfriend has sole physical custody of his kids. I can't express enough how much he helped our family and how grateful we are for him. I really believe without him we wouldn't have won this case, he basically got everything my boyfriend wanted. David really cares about his clients and he's joy at the end of court demonstrated his commitment to bringing the children home. Thank you again David for your tremendous help we are immensely grateful.

David represented me during my divorce last year. He was both knowledgeable and friendly during a long legal battle. He is well connected legally and definitely reduced my financial exposure. I highly recommend using his services.

David Pedrazas helped me with a jurisdiction case. I lived in a separate state with my children while my husband lived in Utah and David was able to help me so I never needed to travel. He knew exactly what to do and was able to win 2 cases for me! Couldn't have done it without him!

David is a true professional at its finest! He was not only professional but he was nice, funny, and super responsive. I was at a time where I couldn’t afford much but I needed this divorce, BADLY! I had contacted many lawyers, and David was the only one to tell “yes let’s do this”. I went into his office, filled out the paperwork, and today 3 months later I’m done! Thank you so much David!!

A true no nonsense professional, who knows his craft. Outstanding experience and dedication to your case. He is very responsive through email and phone calls. I am an active duty military officer and had a complicated child support case that covered three different States. Other lawyers’ advise me not to push the case forward. However, after turning over all my legal documents to David (10 years’ worth, multiple court rulings, in three States), David reviewed all the paperwork, did a thorough assessment in which we prevailed. David conducted his research on my case, investigated our options, and came up with a strategic plan to execute. Through his intense research, he discovered a valuable piece of information that other lawyers missed, and used it in the execution of our plan. David was spot on with the decisions he expected we would get from the judge. He highlight areas to me where there may be risk or challenges, and came up with strong counterarguments that ultimately won our case. In the end, David’s expertise and his execution in front of the Judge saved me over 50K in child support. He had to present arguments to the Court three different times, on different aspects of the case, and David achieved victories all three times. In Court; His presence, arguments and counterarguments, were unmatched. He thoroughly anticipated and answer the Judges questions, he came to court each and every time extremely well prepared. His Court room demeanor commands the respect of the Court and that of his peers. David is extremely well respected throughout the Salt Lake legal community, his positive reputation is an asset to you and your case. If you are first starting out with a case, or if you have had difficulty with other lawyers in the past, and want a clean start and a full review of your options, You cannot find a more detailed, professional, and straight forward lawyer than David Pedrazas.

I worked for David as a legal assistant for about a year and a half. I did not know David beforehand. My friend had hired him for her divorce and she was impressed by his character. When I interviewed with David, I was immediately impressed by him and his upfront and honest attitude. He will not tell you what you want to hear just to blow smoke up your skirt; he will tell you what needs to be said, whether you like it or not. Having gone through four different attorneys during my husband’s custody case with his ex-wife, I came to realize how important that is and how rare that trait is to find in attorneys. David is never out to make a “quick buck” and screw you over on billing, as I have seen other attorneys do. He is extremely knowledgeable and will defend his clients with the upmost integrity. My husband hired David to complete his custody case after seeing how impressed with him I was. Sadly enough, my husband and I are now going through a divorce and I cannot hire David, as that would create a conflict since he previously represented my husband. I have hired another attorney for my divorce and although he is good, he does not represent me as well as I know David would. I would recommend David to anyone going through a divorce or custody case- especially if there is high conflict. His knowledge, persistence, and punctuality cannot be beaten.

I came to Mr. Pedrazas desperate and looking for help for my custody case since my ex-husband created a very dirty case against me. I though there was nothing that I can rescue from my case because in the past I hadn't a good representation. I needed someone who could really defend me and give me again the hope of recovering my case. Finally after looking for a good attorney in Utah I founded Mr. Pedrazas, who gave me back the hope. I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. After I saw him at court I Knew that he was the lawyer I was waiting for. We still in the process, but I just highly recommend Mr. Pedrazas. I am so thankful.

I was always informed and never surprised. He took my case to the Court of Appeals, and it ended in my favor. Divorce never ends in a victory, but I am SO glad he was on my side. My family and I are greatful, and able to move on and enjoy life to its fullest! Thank you, David!

I just went through one of the worst 3 year divorce processess you could imagine. David was my second attorney that I hired about a year ago and I would give anything to make him my first attorney for the following reasons. #1. I got more accomplished with him in the second half of my divorce by a huge margin than I did with my first attorney. #2. He did it all for less than 20% of what I had paid my other attorney because he WILL NOT nickel and dime you in anyway shape and form. Do not be fooled by other attorney's who may charge a smaller retainer because that means nothing when they are calling you every week asking to refill the retainer because they have exchausted it over useless crap. David doesn't do that. He will tell you (at least a ballpark) of what its gonna cost and he will stick to it regardless of what happens. #3 If you are shopping for a divorce lawyer you are about to enter a purgatory you cannot imagine. As far as divorce attorney's go (and I went through one horrible one and shopped around for 4 months to find the right one for my second) he is the closest thing you will find to a rope to get you out of hell.

His Court room demeanor commands the respect of the Court and that of his peers. David is extremely well respected throughout the Salt Lake legal community, his positive reputation is an asset to you and your case. If you are first starting out with a case, or if you have had difficulty with other lawyers in the past, and want a clean start and a full review of your options, You cannot find a more detailed, professional, and straight forward lawyer than David Pedrazas.

I worked for David as a legal assistant for about a year and a half. I did not know David beforehand. My friend had hired him for her divorce and she was impressed by his character. When I interviewed with David, I was immediately impressed by him and his upfront and honest attitude. He will not tell you what you want to hear just to blow smoke up your skirt; he will tell you what needs to be said, whether you like it or not. Having gone through four different attorneys during my husband’s custody case with his ex-wife, I came to realize how important that is and how rare that trait is to find in attorneys. David is never out to make a “quick buck” and screw you over on billing, as I have seen other attorneys do. He is extremely knowledgeable and will defend his clients with the upmost integrity. My husband hired David to complete his custody case after seeing how impressed with him I was. Sadly enough, my husband and I are now going through a divorce and I cannot hire David, as that would create a conflict since he previously represented my husband. I have hired another attorney for my divorce and although he is good, he does not represent me as well as I know David would. I would recommend David to anyone going through a divorce or custody case- especially if there is high conflict. His knowledge, persistence, and punctuality cannot be beaten.

I came to Mr. Pedrazas desperate and looking for help for my custody case since my ex-husband created a very dirty case against me. I though there was nothing that I can rescue from my case because in the past I hadn't a good representation. I needed someone who could really defend me and give me again the hope of recovering my case. Finally after looking for a good attorney in Utah I founded Mr. Pedrazas, who gave me back the hope. I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. After I saw him at court I Knew that he was the lawyer I was waiting for. We still in the process, but I just highly recommend Mr. Pedrazas. I am so thankful.

David is extremely intelligent and knows Utah Law!!!! He helped me in a case that was super delicate and life changing. David is very trustworthy and transparent. I was always informed and never surprised. He took my case to the Court of Appeals, and it ended in my favor. Divorce never ends in a victory, but I am SO glad he was on my side. My family and I are greatful, and able to move on and enjoy life to its fullest! Thank you, David!

I just went through one of the worst 3 year divorce processess you could imagine. David was my second attorney that I hired about a year ago and I would give anything to make him my first attorney for the following reasons. #1. I got more accomplished with him in the second half of my divorce by a huge margin than I did with my first attorney. #2. He did it all for less than 20% of what I had paid my other attorney because he WILL NOT nickel and dime you in anyway shape and form. Do not be fooled by other attorney's who may charge a smaller retainer because that means nothing when they are calling you every week asking to refill the retainer because they have exchausted it over useless crap. David doesn't do that. He will tell you (at least a ballpark) of what its gonna cost and he will stick to it regardless of what happens. #3 If you are shopping for a divorce lawyer you are about to enter a purgatory you cannot imagine. As far as divorce attorney's go (and I went through one horrible one and shopped around for 4 months to find the right one for my second) he is the closest thing you will find to a rope to get you out of hell. Especially if you are a loving father fighting for your rights, and get custody of your child(ren) from a snake of an ex-wife who wants nothing more than to destroy you. #4. My divorce lasted 28 months. I hired David 20 months into the process and he got more accomplished in the last 8 months than the previous months combined. (and for far less money) #5. Probably the most important part of all of this is that David is a pitbull to fight for your rights. (and be advised that his argumentative and abrasive nature might actually get you in a heated discussion or two between the two of you...but I promise you that is exactly what you want in a divorce attorney. David is that way all the time and he WILL use that same ferocity against opposing council and the judge). Do not be turned off by his bluntness, and realism. It is exactly what you are looking for to get you fair justice in a divorce case. Even on the parts of your case you don't end up winning (because you can't control what a judge will do) he will make the best possible arguments to fight for you and what is yours(and he's so good he WILL get most of it), and he will do it with full knowledge of the law and absolute resolve to get everything he can for you. #6 He is FULLY COMPETENT at everything in divorce law and proceedure and all of that. He has been in practice for years, and knows the system, the rules, the players (other attorneys and the judges) and exactly the right and aggressive way to get it done. If you are a father like me fighting for your rights to get custody of your child, and not have to pay your x-wife every dime you've ever had to get it....STOP SHOPPING FOR ATTORNEYS and hire David. I will say it again...I wish to God I had found him from the beginning. If I could give 10 stars I would. He's very very very good, and he knows exactly what he is doing!!!! 'nuff said.

David Pedrazas represented my boyfriend in a Divorce/Custody. He's now ex wife had taken his 4 children across country and prohibited the kids to have any relationship with my boyfriend for almost 2 years, we had to hire a Private investigator and had no luck until his oldest contacted him behind the mothers back. The ex wife justified her actions in court by making allegations of domestic abuse. It was a difficult case but David was so knowledgeable, honest and he fought for my boyfriend's truth. At the end the judge granted relocation of the kids and now my boyfriend has sole physical custody of his kids. I can't express enough how much he helped our family and how grateful we are for him. I really believe without him we wouldn't have won this case, he basically got everything my boyfriend wanted. David really cares about his clients and he's joy at the end of court demonstrated his commitment to bringing the children home. Thank you again David for your tremendous help we are immensely grateful.

David Pedrazas helped me with a jurisdiction case. I lived in a separate state with my children while my husband lived in Utah and David was able to help me so I never needed to travel. He knew exactly what to do and was able to win 2 cases for me! Couldn't have done it without him!

David is a true professional at its finest! He was not only professional but he was nice, funny, and super responsive. I was at a time where I couldn’t afford much but I needed this divorce, BADLY! I had contacted many lawyers, and David was the only one to tell “yes let’s do this”. I went into his office, filled out the paperwork, and today 3 months later I’m done! Thank you so much David!!

A true no nonsense professional, who knows his craft. Outstanding experience and dedication to your case. He is very responsive through email and phone calls. I am an active duty military officer and had a complicated child support case that covered three different States. Other lawyers’ advise me not to push the case forward. However, after turning over all my legal documents to David (10 years’ worth, multiple court rulings, in three States), David reviewed all the paperwork, did a thorough assessment in which we prevailed. David conducted his research on my case, investigated our options, and came up with a strategic plan to execute. Through his intense research, he discovered a valuable piece of information that other lawyers missed, and used it in the execution of our plan. David was spot on with the decisions he expected we would get from the judge. He highlight areas to me where there may be risk or challenges, and came up with strong counterarguments that ultimately won our case. In the end, David’s expertise and his execution in front of the Judge saved me over 50K in child support. He had to present arguments to the Court three different times, on different aspects of the case, and David achieved victories all three times. In Court; His presence, arguments and counterarguments, were unmatched. He thoroughly anticipated and answer the Judges questions, he came to court each and every time extremely well prepared.
