After law school, Leilani worked for Legal Aid Society of Salt Lake, quickly taking on a full non-profit caseload of family law cases including divorce, custody, protective orders, and guardianships. While at Legal Aid, Leilani mostly took cases involving domestic violence or sexual assault. Leilani has participated in sexual violence training with Utah Coalition Against Sexual Assault and attended conferences on domestic and sexual violence within the law.

I can't say enough good about this group. At the end of the day, Ray Hingson went out of his way to make everything run smooth. Even though the other firm encouraged and allowed them to use character assassination as a tactic, Ray stayed above the fray and made sure things were fair for both parties. If you want integrity and fairness for everyone involved these are your guys.
Response from the owner: Brandon, thank you for the recommendation. Glad Ray was able to help you.

Andrew Christensen was an amazing advocate. He had my best interests in mind, he listened, kept me informed, made time for me, and had all the answers. No detail escaped his notice. He saved me time and money and I felt taken care of. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone.

I would absolutely recommend Brown Family Law. In my situation, I paid the consulting fee and met with an attorney. In this meeting, the attorney was very kind and honest. After going through the details of my concerns, he informed me that it was highly likely that taking my concerns to court would cost more than what I'd see back. He also offered to refund the original consulting fee. I felt heard and trusted the advice he provided and decided to not move forward. I felt so much better after just talking with him even though the outcome wasn't what I wanted. At least I know now and am not constantly wondering. Thank you Brown Family Law for giving me peace of mind and for being so trustworthy.
Response from the owner: Mindy, thank you and glad Clay made you feel heard.
