"Staci Visser, With Brown Bradshaw and Moffit has been so amazing. My kid got into some trouble, she has been an absolute warrior. She blends a proactive style with a ton of wisdom and experience that results in results. If you need someone with Staci"s skill set, then you need Staci. She is the most intelligent, knowledgeable and intentional lawyer I have worked with. After 10 years and 2 toxic exes with over 120,000 usd devoted to lawyer fees. I can definitively vouch that Staci is on the Top 0.001 % of kick ass lawyers in the State of Utah. If you can afford her. Get her."

"I grew up with a criminal defense attorney for a father and spent my first 18 years surrounded by lawyers and judges because of him. Good good people. The moment I talked to Kristin Wilson on the phone, it felt like home… knew we were in good hands and grateful to have met her. She helped us to navigate a frustrating situation and was incredibly responsive. I hope we never need an attorney again but if we did… I’d go to her and to this law firm!"

"This is the most dedicated team of criminal defense attorneys that I have seen. As a practicing lawyer, if I ever have a referral for a criminal defense attorney I direct them to Brown, Bradshaw, and Moffat, particularly Mike Holje. Mike is an excellent person and lawyer. You know that if you hire Mike to represent you, you will be getting his absolute best, no matter what the charge or evidence is. Mike is incredibly intelligent and is always looking for a theory to help his clients prevail. You absolutely cannot go wrong with Mike as your lawyer, or any lawyer at BBM."
