McKay, Burton & Thurman, P.C.

Don't bother - I reached out to discuss an HOA issue and couldn't get a response; I called directly and was told they're "very busy" but they might be able to squeeze me in (thanks, I guess?). They wanted to make sure I could afford $300 per hour to talk to the only attorney at the firm who deals with these matters (apparently); pretty insulting how many times they asked "are you sure you can afford $300 an hour to discuss this? Are you sure?" Yes, I'm able to afford an attorney and am aware that professional services cost money. I was also told to not bother if I don't have the CC&Rs from the HOA, even though I repeatedly told the representative that I'm trying to get those documents and that's why I need an attorney. Very unprofessional, not impressed at all.

I had Reid Tateoka represent me and if I could choose between jumping into a bathtub with a toaster or paying this lawyer, I’d choose the toaster. I don’t think he ever got my name spelt right. During my, protective order hearing, he choose not to submit evidence. Then when it got declined the order he told me to “get over it” when I asked if there was more we could do. Next time I’ll represent myself. Could have done a better job at it that’s for sure. He’s terrible at being transparent and guiding you through the legal process, so unless you’re familiar with it yourself, you’re going to be completely lost; even worse so with depression, like I had. Enjoy my cash Reid. You obviously need it more than I do.

Brian Porter was amazing to work with during my divorce. He was on top of everything and made the entire process so much easier. It’s already hard enough going through something like that. But with his knowledge on what needed to happen to get everything done as quickly as possible and compassion for what I was going through is unparalleled. Very impressed!!

Highest recommendation for McKay, Burton & Thurman, P.C. particularly Mark C Rose. We were facing a very difficult personal / financial situation in our life after a catastrophic accident left us with over $1M in medical bills. We tried to handle this ourselves for years but slowly fell behind on everything until we got to a point that we just couldn't continue and needed professional help. Mark was referred to us by another attorney in SLC as one of the best to handle our situation. Prior to meeting with Mark, we were uncertain of our future, and uncertain of the short term steps that needed to be taken as well as the larger plan. Before Mark was ever retained by us, he did an incredible amount of background work on our case. He wanted to be sure that all options and bases were covered and he came up with a plan based on our unique situation that would be the best way forward based on his experience and expertise. He made the comment that once a client signs on with him they become like family, and that's how we felt throughout the process. Mark was clear, concise, explained the process to us, and fielded a host of questions that were likely basic to him, but not to us. He was accessible literally any time we needed him, including evenings. Once we executed on his plan, there were no issues. We prepared and had a plan of attack for each potential scenario, but in the end "Plan A" worked just like Mark had outlined. I'm sure you can find "cheaper" lawyers out there, but when facing a life situation, I can promise you do not want "cheap". Mark Rose is an excellent attorney and delivered on exactly what he said he would do. We are extremely indebted and grateful that he came so highly recommended to us. Looking back, our only regret is that we did not find Mark sooner.

Brian Porter exceeded my expectations. He helped me navigate through my divorce using his knowledge and expertise of the legal system. Brian was very timely with response to any questions and/or concerns that I had which greatly reduced my anxiety throughout the process. His dedication, professionalism, and outstanding work in protecting my interest resulted in a positive outcome. I highly recommend Brian to anyone who is faced with potential legal issues associated with a life changing event.

Would use them again. They were great in helping resolve the issues. Mark was very helpful and brought it to a very timely conclusion. Many thanks to them!!

If you are ever in an unfortunate event where an attorney is needed, we could not recommend Brian Porter more highly. Brian Porter met and exceeded our expectations. He guided us through a stressful event with the utmost professionalism. In a world where the specific nomenclature, rules and etiquette were unfamiliar to us, Brian explained everything very well and gave us comfort when navigating these uncharted waters. He was patient and knowledgeable, and spent the time to speak to us about all of our options. Most importantly, he cared for us and for our outcome and then proved that to us through his actions while representing us. Please take the time to give him a call for a consultation to see for yourself. He was terrific.

My husband and I were looking at options with bankruptcy. We made an appointment to interview the lawyer to see if he would be right for our situation. After hours of going over our case, I left in tears with the outcome he said we were facing. Come to find out he said exactly the opposite, we did not have to file bankruptcy and we did not have to lose our home. To make it worse he back charged us for the consult over $1000...which was suppose to be free. It was a consult to see if we wanted to hire this fim. Office said "sorry that's what he billed." I would not recommend this firm.

My legal problem was not complicated but had complications from the beginning. Mark Rose had no problems dealing with the issues as they arose and took the lead to get them resolved. I am very pleased with the service and representation Mark Rose provided. I will seek his council in the future. I strongly recommend him.

I needed wright a review telling everyone the Brian Porter, of McKay, Burton & Thurman, P.C. is OUTSTANDING! Brian was exceptional in representation of me and my case. After working with 2 other attorneys on my case who were unable to accomplish anything Brian was able to achieve the outcome I was searching for!! I highly recommend Brian Porter for anyone that needs aggressive and honest representation!!
