    "Wade is someone who genuinely cares about his clients."
    Wade has been representing us for the last 2 years on 2 separate issues. One being a custody issue that has been emotionally and mentally exhausting and he has been supportive and great to work with. He has called to make sure I am okay and listens to my fears and concerns. Highly recommend. He is someone who genuinely cares about his clients.

    "...smart, competent, level headed and actually cares about his clients."
    I've worked in the family law world for years and can count on three fingers the attorneys I would refer to my friends or family. Wade Taylor is one of them. He is smart, competent, level headed and actually cares about his clients.

    "I can say that Nelson, Taylor & Associates have been the most reasonable, empathetic, and responsive."

    ​​​​​​I have had legal needs spanning several years during a divorce and custody evaluation. Having worked with a few different firms in both Utah and Salt Lake County, I can say that Nelson, Taylor & Associates have been the most reasonable, empathetic, and responsive.

    Any family law issue has the potential for high anxiety, emotional reactions, and long-term impact on one's financial and family situation. I have been guided by Wade Taylor through the worst of these and will always appreciate his time, patience, and skills on behalf of me and my family.

    "Wade is “AWESOME “!"
    I was extremely nervous to start the divorce process. Wade Taylor made it easy from the first phone consultation to receiving the signed decree. I am very satisfied and would recommend Wade Taylor over and over again. Wade is “AWESOME “!

    "I currently enjoy being the custodial parent and seeing my boy's most of the time, which is not a easy thing for a dad to pull off in Utah... Thanks Wade."
    After fighting a custody case on and off for 3 year's Wade Taylor was not my first attorney, he was my third. I had the chance to watch lots of attorney's in action but truly felt Wade was the best money could buy. But that's the astounding part, after receiving his last bill I did the math and determined he had actually cost me less then any other attorney!?!? I currently enjoy being the custodial parent and seeing my boy's most of the time, which is not a easy thing for a dad to pull off in Utah... Thanks Wade.

    "Wade Taylor was completely honest from the very beginning."
    Wade Taylor was completely honest about what my rights were from the very beginning and explained the entire process step by step. The other attorney for the other half, dragged her feet with EVERYTHING and played games the entire time. Mr. Taylor fully supported me walking out of mediation after HOURS of being there and finding out the other attorney was completely unprepared. The other attorney tried to blame Mr. Taylor for her not being prepared, but Mr. Taylor was able to prove he sent her the information MONTHS before mediation. Mr. Taylor also had another extremely knowledgeable and experienced attorney, Elenia Cozean at mediation with us. It was so reassuring to know just how supported I was not only by Mr. Wade, but also by the other attorneys in his office. I have already recommended Mr. Wade to several people in search of a great attorney and I will continue to do so!

    "I am confident that there is no one who is a better fit to handle my case. I am extremely happy with everything that has happened since I first hired him."
    I'm currently working with Wade Taylor on a custody case. I can say that he is an honest, straightforward, funny, charming and highly experienced Attorney. In 4 months he has been able to accomplish more for me than my previous lawyer of 14 months. I am very happy with the way Wade is handling my case, especially because he asks what you want and doesn't try to dissuade you. Instead, he informs and educates you on the pros and cons of each option. He's very professional and can still manage to make you laugh. He is truly a hidden gem. I am confident that there is no one who is a better fit to handle my case. I am extremely happy with everything that has happened since I first hired him. If you want someone who will listen to you and hear you vent and can still be the bulldog that subtly destroys his opponents this is your guy ! Thanks Wade

    "As a single mother, he was truly understanding and did everything he could to help me. I will never have another attorney but Wade Taylor."
    Wade Taylor is the best attorney I have ever had the privilege to hire. He has helped me on two separate and unrelated cases and both cases he was on top of everything. He is extremely knowledgeable and genuine. He will not BS you and will tell you exactly what he thinks will happen and plans for things that may not happen. He never over charged me and even tried to help lower costs if he was able to. As a single mother, he was truly understanding and did everything he could to help me. I will never have another attorney but Wade Taylor.
