Hanks & Peterson Law PLLC — Local services in Salt Lake City

I’m a tough critic & an anxious mom, & I can say without hesitation that Rob Peterson is a rare gem among attorneys. He is courageous, unwavering, & a true straight shooter—transparent, honest, & always acting with integrity. In my complex custody case involving my special needs child, opposing counsel threw out constant lies & distractions, but Rob stood firm, kept us focused on the truth, & never wavered in fighting for what truly mattered.

What makes Rob exceptional is not just his legal skill but the way he genuinely cares. He believed in me at a time when I was losing confidence, & his support helped me regain strength. He took a huge burden off my shoulders so I could focus more of my time & energy on caring for my disabled child—a gift that is truly priceless.

Rob is backed by an incredibly loyal & hardworking team—Tracey & Ally—who went above & beyond to support my case with diligence & dedication. Together, they all made me feel like more than just another client; they made me feel cared for & protected.

Rob Peterson & his team are diligent, passionate, & professional in every way. He is more than an attorney—he is a hero in my book. If you need a professional who combines courage, integrity, & compassion with relentless advocacy, I cannot recommend their team at Hanks &...

I have so much gratitude for Hanks & Peterson. I met with several attorneys in my quest to find the best one for me and my case and immediately felt heard and understood upon meeting with Jim Hanks. Most importantly, I felt confident that he would be honest with me and not pursue anything he didn't feel confident we had a winning argument in, which sometimes can be hard to hear, but something I felt was important as I did not want to spend endless amounts of time and money in court. Jim retired and David took over my case and he did a fantastic job as well. He had the same ethics I sought out in Jim and the transition was smooth. Hanks and Peterson took care and consideration into the issues I was facing and made me feel that they had my best interest in mind. I always felt confident in their knowledge and abilities and it was calming to not have to worry about that aspect of my legal issues. They were also conscious of the money being spent and did what they could to keep them down if it was possible. It was always easy for me to keep in contact with them. My emails and calls were responded to in a timely manner and their paralegal, Tauni, took care of me as much as possible if the attorney wasn't immediately available. I'm thankful for all their hard work and what they were able...

If you want a lawyer that will be honest with you then this is the place to go. I was completely unfamiliar about anything to do with family law, custody agreements and divorces. I asked my friend for a good and trustworthy attorney and she was right to refer me to Hanks and Peterson, specifically David Hanks.

David always gave me the truth. He explained things to me in full-context. For example, anything I thought about adding or taking away he let me know the full implications of such a decision and the ripple effects so I could be sure it was what I was intending.

As far as quality, David was thorough and always double-checked on my decree whenever he answered my questions about it. I am so grateful that I was referred to this firm for help with my high-conflict divorce. I have anxiety and he was patient in letting me know he/I/we had done everything we could so he wasn't worried and I didn't need to be either.

Mediation was extremely successful and I appreciated his insight throughout. He thankfully has seen many of these situations before and gave me excellent advise which I continue to heed.

He is a trustworthy lawyer who knows the law and...
