Hoyer Law Firm - Lehi, Utah

Alice L.

My experience with Hoyer Law Firm has been superior. When I needed legal support regarding Grandparent Rights, Casey Hoyer and his team were there for me. They have been steadfast in representing me and my cause. I would highly recommend the Hoyer Law firm to friends, relatives and anyone in need of caring and compassionate legal advocates.

This firm has gone above and beyond to help me. I do not live in Utah, and they worked with my schedule (completely different time zone) and gave me all the resources I needed to move forward in my case. Blaine and his staff are wonderful! I would 10/10 recommend!

I paid just around $3000 in attorney fees for 2 months of representation with no court appearances or filings… just emails with OC and phone calls without even meeting Mr. Hoyer in person. He quickly referred me to his subordinate counsel for several weeks. I received such a large bill through two months, I made a change immediately and was so glad that I did. When I requested correspondence between him and opposing counsel to try to substantiate some of the cost, he would not forward that to me. You may want to make that inquiry if you ever decide that you want to retain him as I feel, this is highly irregular and far from transparent when you are paying for his services. Mr. Hoyers office said they would only send emails to my new attorney if he requests them but, would not send them to me. I asked on multiple occasions for a 10 minute appointment with Mr. Hoyer to place a name to a face and shake a hand after spending thousands of dollars the first few weeks and during the first month and was told he was ill or on vacation and just given the run around or in court. I also paid the $300 initial one hour consultation, which was by phone and not in person. I will tell you that my experience was a couple years ago in 2022 and I have utilized five attorneys for business and real estate transactions that were FANTASTIC. Mr Hoyer not only did not place his client as first priority, but overcharged and was an inefficient in utilizing an associate inexperienced attorney to assist and charged and charged. He was not transparent and would not share communications ie emails between he and opposing counsel when I need to address my situation… when I retained my next attorney, his open book policy was to CC all communications which I found refreshing and exceptionally transparent. Do you due diligence here…my experience was challenging, costly and a nightmare.

I just read the follow up which was done months later. I cannot imagine anyone having an issue with the Utah State Bar being copied on correspondence between hired attorneys. My newly hired attorney did not have that problem and never has in 30 years. I find that laughable that an attorney can speak about your case to your attorney but your attorney cannot share this with you but, you pay him for his time?!!! You can be the judge. Secondly, I was told specifically by Mr. Hoyer that he would be handling my case in our hour long PAID discussion by phone. I paid a $3500 retainer immediately because of that. Evidently, he changed his mind as I was pushed over to another attorney almost immediately other than correspondence between OC...and by their own admission...they handle cases after Covid without even meeting many of their clients. If YOU want this kind of relationship with your attorney ...this is the law firm for YOU. I never had a video call, Zoom call or personal meeting. Just emails and telephone calls for over $3000 in a few weeks with no filing or court appearance. Just a few emails and phone calls. The Hoyer Law firm response..."It just saves everyone time and the effort of coming into the office." reflects what you are paying for here. If you want this kind of arm's length, distant representation that I experienced as well which seems the norm here...this is the law firm for YOU. I feel this follow up by Hoyer Law speaks volumes and best of luck in your decision making.

This review is an account of my highly disappointing experience with Hoyer Law Firm, and I hope it serves as a cautionary tale for anyone considering their services.

I was initially impressed by the personal connection I felt with the founder during our preliminary discussions about my child custody case. His empathetic approach led me to hire them, believing my case was as important to them as it was to me.

However, post-contract, the firm’s service drastically changed. What started as regular updates soon dwindled to infrequent communication, despite me being billed for every attempt I made to gain insights into my case's progress. Alarmingly, I wasn't introduced to my actual representative until the day of the court hearing, which is unacceptable.

On the day of the hearing, I found myself having to confirm if an attorney from Hoyer Law would even be present. The hearing resulted in a denial of my request, primarily because the firm failed to submit a vital document on time—a document that explained the justification for amending my divorce decree. Despite having ample time (over a month), they only managed to submit it on the morning of the hearing.

Despite promises that I wouldn’t be charged for resubmitting the necessary documents, I was later billed over $1,000 in vague fees. Overall, the preparation for court alone cost me an excess of $6,000, which, after consultations with other lawyers, appears to be exorbitant given the unclear breakdown of charges.

My years of professional interactions with trial lawyers with a job I previously had have led me to realize one harsh truth: to them, clients are merely numbers. These lawyers, adept at sales, leverage your vulnerability to maximize their profit. Their primary skills typically do not lie in legal expertise but in their ability to sell a narrative to the judge, jury, and especially to you.

I urge extreme caution with Hoyer Law and, frankly, any firm. The legal system often feels rigged, with law firms like these playing a significant role in its corruption.

I regret choosing Hoyer Law. They overcharged me, assigned me a lawyer whose courtroom skills were questionable at best, and showed a general lack of diligence and urgency, except when it involved billing me or when my retainer was running low.

For those seeking justice or adjustments in legal agreements, consider handling it yourself or thoroughly researching before committing to any firm. From my extremely negative experience, I have learned that most firms exploit desperation. Don't fall victim to their tactics. Consider hiring someone else and consult friends/family that have had a very positive interaction with their law firm. They do exist but in my opinion are extremely rare.

Update: Based on their recent response (See the firms response), I hope anyone considering this firm sees the reality and looks elsewhere. They ignored the overcharging and the delays they caused by failing to submit required paperwork, opting instead to attack the very clients who paid them thousands for subpar (if any) actual service. There are many excellent law firms out there, but this one definitely isn’t among them.

Was a waste of my time and money. Over 8k spent and had absolutely nothing to show for it. Felt like blaine Edward’s was working with opposing counsel instead of me. Was told during negations that I was better to sue my ex after the divorce for breach of contract, turns out I can’t because we settled on the in the agreement. Was also told in December it would only cost me another $1000 to finish my divorce. Well $1500 later still in the same place. Charged for work that wasn’t done. Also going to file a complaint with the Utah bar association. Also keep getting sent a bill that I paid, they won’t respond to an email, won’t answer when I call and won’t return a call so I can figure out why I’m getting sent a bill when I called in and paid it. Nothing but crooks. Edited so there was a problem with them processing my final payment. Instead of calling me and letting me know they sent an email. I tried calling them to figure it out but they would not answer or return my calls. They sent me to collections because I filed a complaint with the ethics board. Instead of calling me to get paid they sent me to collection. Eventually they got it back from collection and took off the interest, but that’s just petty to send me to collections because I filed a complaint about his lack of representation.

I’ve been working with Casey for a few years and he has absolutely been outstanding with my case every step of the way. He is very knowledgeable, articulate and has good ideas on how to handle my case. His staff is top notch, great communication with my case. My case is now over and let’s just say, I’m very happy with my outcome. If I had to use again I would in a heart beat!

Since working with Casey Hoyer and his incredibly talented team I have been very impressed with their ability to help me navigate through hard life situations. Casey brings unique experience having been both a lawyer and a judge and I appreciate the confidence that I feel when working with him. He is a straight shooter as well as a good person (I can say the same for all members of the team I have met so far).

Hoyer Law was amazing to work with. I felt informed, comforted and supported the entire way. Casey, our J. D., made us feel like family the whole time.
