What Our Clients in Salt Lake City are Saying
Having David take care of my divorce was the right choice. He had done it for years, nothing surprised him, and I appreciated the peace that came with his calm and steady attitude. I needed someone just like that, without feeding into my fears and anxiety. He stayed on track, and helped me get to a place where I am better off financially and emotionally. I am glad he was my attorney through the hardest two years of my life.Also, Alyssa is a great paralegal who was super awesome and patient typing up my mile-long affidavit. She was quick and made sure she got everything correct.

I first had the pleasure to work with David about 10 yrs ago with my divorce. Everything went smoothly with me getting full custody of my children and child support. Fast forward to about a year ago I contacted David once more to help me with arrears. After a couple bumps in the litigation and David doing an awesome job we won and I got everything I asked for. I can’t thank you enough David for fighting for me and helping me close that chapter in my life! Good always prevails!!

Mr. Pedrazas is a professional and he knows what he is doing. He helped my partner with custody of his daughter. It was a long, sad, brutal trial but David was so incredible and we had the most amazing outcome. He is very dedicated to his work. He is upfront and honest. He was the best decision we ever made.

Hiring David for my divorce case was the best move I made in the whole process. I wish I would have hired him from the beginning.Early on in my case (before hiring David) we went before a judge to get temporary orders. Unfortunately the judge gave my ex full custody and ordered me to pay an extreme amount in child support and alimony. I was always a very involved father and had done so much to support, provide, and be there for the family. In a matter of minutes it was all stripped away! I felt very alone, hurt, and lost.There was no reason or past history that would justify taking the time with the kids alway.My ex and her attorney had gotten everything they wanted and more. Even though these were temporary orders it emboldened the other party and now they expected the final decree to pretty well match the temporary orders. I felt the odds where against me. I live in a small rural town, had temporary orders all in her favor, and I was the man in the case.I knew I needed a different attorney to get time with my kids. So I searched for the top rated family attorneys in Utah.David Pedrazas kept coming up on my searches as one of the top 3 attorneys in the state. At first I was worried to reach out to him, I feared he wouldn’t want to help me since I lived in a rural town hours away from the Wasatch Front. I also worried there was no way I could afford such a great attorney. Luckily I reached out to him! He was quick to respond and we set up an appointment to discuss my case. After meeting David I knew I needed his help to get my time with the kids back. David’s retainer was manageable, and well worth the price to fight for my kids.Fortunately, we were able to settle the case in mediation. I have no doubt that it was David’s experience, knowledge, and skills that made this possible. He knew exactly what to say and when during mediation. At one point things weren’t looking too promising in mediation, and David took control of the situation and made it very clear what we wanted and expected. He came up with some great ideas and offers to give to the other party. During the process I felt I needed to trust David and his methods and suggestions! Boy am I glad I did!!!! I trusted his advice and followed it. The next thing I knew my ex had settled with us giving me 50/50 physical custody, and setting child support at an amount that would work for everyone!I definitely recommend David Pedrazas as a family attorney! He actually gets back to you, keeps you updated, and knows when to fight for what is right!!!!I recommend him to all my family and friends if they need an attorney, and would not hesitate to hire him again!!!!Thank you David!!!!

First time hiring an attorney - I chose David because of the other great reviews he has. All true. Great experience from start to finish. I paid the retainer and then he gave me free, responsive, useful legal counsel on multiple occasions. If I require assistance in the future I will be going back here. (FYI his office looks different than the picture that looks like a house)

I live in Georgia, my now ex-wife left the state with our four children and moved to Utah. She made false allegations of domestic violence to justify her reason for leaving and would not let me see or even talk to our children. I had no idea where she went and by the time I was able to locate them Utah had jurisdiction.I researched many lawyers in Utah. It was kinda scary to hire and pay a lawyer over the phone without meeting in person. I really wanted to get the best possible lawyer because my children were at stake and they asked me to please try and get custody.When I came across David I really felt like I had the right lawyer. I read all the reviews and they felt sincere, now I definitely know they were.David is a Great lawyer, the best I’ve ever dealt with! David is on top of his game and will not hold back! David is an exceptional trial lawyer, he is aggressive just like you want and really knows his stuff!David was always really easy to get in touch with and would call you back the same day if he was busy. I felt really confident through the whole experience with him on my side. I knew I made the right choice by hiring him.David is very thorough and suggested a GAL with turned out to be really helpful. David stayed committed to the case the whole time!I started the process with no contact or even phone call’s with my children. During the process David got me phone call’s, then visits.The outcome was amazing! I am still in shock of how great it turned out! After the accusations and the kid’s being gone almost two years David got me sole physical custody! The court ordered for the kid’s to come home to Georgia from Utah! He even got the court to order my now ex-wife pay child support.The court pretty much ordered exactly what David asked for. I definitely feel like I got the best possible outcome by far and the best possible lawyer! I feel truly blessed I had David as my attorney and would highly recommend him to anyone!I cannot express my gratitude enough! Thank you so much for helping my family David!

I have never reviewed anybody or any business before but what David has done for me I felt the need to share my experience. He took care of everything to do with my case and made a horrible situation with child custody seem bearable and under control. I recommend David to anyone that needs an attorney with a back bone and doesn’t play games.

David is far the best custody lawer in utah.I never would have got custody of my child if I hadn’t hired him.He is very aggressive and he knows the laws.He is very responsive and always calls you back quick. He answers all your question and is very good at explaining to you what’s going on and what your options are I want to thank you David for all you have done for me and my child you sir are a rock star.

Pedrazas represented me in a very tough divorce case that involved assets, property and custody. I could not be happier with the level of professionalism, the compassion, and straight forward advice. He went above and beyond for me and without getting into specifics got me EVERYTHING that I wanted in our case. There are attorneys out there that will bleed you dry ... this is not DP. Don't be fooled by the calm demeanor ... I saw one of the most intelligent and powerful negotiations I have ever seen by him in our mediation. Thanks DP. If you find yourself in need of a family lawyer I can say that he is by far the best I have worked with.

David is very knowledgeable and experienced. After dealing with a lawyer that did nothing and charged plenty for it, David was a relief! He got the case moving in a productive direction and provided realistic insight and expectations. He communicated with the other lawyer, set up mediation, advised me during the mediation and followed through with finalizing the divorce modification paperwork. Of course, both sides had to compromise, but we resolved many problems and the outcome was an improvement.David didn't nickel and dime me for every email I sent - which was amazing! It's hard to work with a lawyer knowing every request for direction is going to cost you $100. David was not like that at all! It felt like he was NOT focused on my money. Thank you for that!To date, I've dealt with more family law attorneys than I prefer, but David is the one I can recommend the most. He's honest, reliable, will let you know what's reasonable and responds quickly.I agree with everybody else on here. Use David. He's earned this spectacular rating.

David handled my lengthy divorce great. I was very worried when learning of who my, now ex-spouse, obtained for his attorney. (You know, the one everyone hires to screw over their spouse in divorce). David wasn't afraid to go to bat for me. He handled my drawn out divorce (made extra long with COVID happening), and I was satisfied with the outcome. Even though divorce is never fun, I highly recommend him.
Ashley Jones
20:41 04 Dec 20
Both pre Covid-19 and present Covid-19, David has shown me what a stellar attorney he is. One of his best qualities to me as someone looking for litigation is his responsiveness. He gets back to you extremely quickly, and will give you the time of day. He will get things done. Be like David and don't wait! Get in touch with him.

When working with David, he was very genuine in our conversation. He cares about his clients and wants the best for them. I would recommend and have already recommend David when it comes to family law matters.

From the first time I spoke with David he was super helpful and responsive. I transitioned over to him after dealing with a lawyer that was slow and constantly giving me the run around. He made the process quick and easy for me, so much so that one day, he emailed me and said I was divorced and I did not believe him.
Renee Lubavs

David is amazing and I especially recommend him for anything that feels IMPOSSIBLE! He takes impossibility as a challenge to make things possible.David is highly experienced and I’ve referred him to many family and friends. He is more than fair, even GENEROUS, with his fees and is flexible with retainer payments to accommodate those unplanned and emergent situations.David knows the “ins and outs” of Family Law and is an incredible negotiator! He thinks outside the box and holds his clients’ interests in high regard. Lower your stress and anxiety...give him a call now! You’ll be glad you did.

At first i had my doubts with my full custody case i took to Mr. Pedrazas. But he was an honest person who gave me the answers of not what i want to hear but what could happen if i don’t provide the right evidence to fight for my kids full custody. Most of the time we expect things to go our way but with the knowledge Mr. Pedrazas have about the law makes him the right person to be on your side legally. And because of him my kids are now safe with me and now have full custody! Thank you Mr. Pedrazas

David helped me with my divorce a couple years ago. Very quick and painless process with his help. From the initial consultation, he was very straightforward and helped me understand the options I had so that I could make the best decision for myself. He was reasonably priced and prompt in both communication and filing. Definitely recommend him to anyone in the Salt Lake Area

I strongly recommend David for anyone who is dealing with extremely high conflict ex spouses. Child custody evaluations are becoming common on cases when parents dispute schedules, and they can be time consuming, confusing and expensive. David is very knowledgeable of evaluations, statutes, rules, and motions. He successfully fought to see that my ex had his entire motion dismissed completely in the last few weeks. His court demeanor and preparation is exactly what is needed when you have lengthy court procedures that aim to change parent time or custody standings. This is the attorney you need if you have any custody or divorce needs!

I recommend him highly to anyone looking for an excellent, professional, Affordable and caring Attorney. He Truly fights hard and shows it in the court room. Thanks David for helping me get my kids I couldn't have asked for anyone better.

David made sure that not only did my divorce go smoothly, but that things were taken care of. He pushed to make sure I got what I wanted and what was fair. He gave great advise and always had an answer to my questions. He made sure that when it was my court date or paperwork needed to be done, that my case was the main focus. I heard about him from a friend and I’m glad that he is my lawyer!
Felicia
01:18 07 Feb 20
David did an amazing job, the ex wanted to take 100% of my house and my boy and leave me with nothing. David made sure I got 50/50 on both... everything I asked for, he gave me. Thank you David.
Stuart Graham

I would strongly recommend hiring or consulting with David during any family or child law case. His experience shows in his ability to provide clear answers during what is usually a very difficult time in life. He has been established in the local area for some time and knows how to navigate the system to get desired results. In addition to frequent email communications, he was flexible with my work schedule and we met face to face multiple times after normal work hours to ensure that we were both on the same page and that we had all the necessary data to present a strong case. That was a big deal to me, and David will do that for his clients. On top of all that, he is a friendly person that is understanding of the difficult circumstances of a divorce and child custody which he puts all efforts into helping you get results. I would not hesitate to continue consulting with David if there are future needs.

I have to give kudos to Delta Airlines. I took a trip to Nashville on March 1st 2019. After a very disappointing business conference and feeling like it was a huge waste of money and my time I arrived at the terminal with time to spare. So I got lunch and ate it while waiting to board. When the time came I boarded the plane and was looking forward to just getting home when all of a sudden a flight attendant was calling out my name. My attention perked up at hearing my name and I was obviously a little confused. She came over and asked, "are you Julie Jensen?" I said yes, and she proceeds to hand me my wallet.In my bad mood and feeling the whole trip had been a huge let down I inadvertently had walked off and left my wallet sitting on the floor in the terminal. Not only did it have cash, but my passport, License, credit cards ect but it also had my layover and airfare ticket to get home. I didn't even know I had walked off and left it until she brought it to me. I can't even tell you the rush of emotions I felt all at once in the instance. I will be forever grateful that the plane did not take off before I got my wallet back and that the flight attendant was discreet when handling the situation. Thank you Delta.
