This review is long overdue! My Dad and I hired Nikki Nicholaou to represent me in my divorce last year. Divorce is a complicated situation that nobody wants to find themselves in, and my now ex husband and I couldn't see eye to eye on any financial situations when we separated. Nikki really came in with solutions and delivered the best results I could have hoped for! She really heard me out when my ex denied everything in my divorce petition, and fought for me when we went through mediation. For the last 6 months, my ex has paid his alimony on time. I 100% owe it all to Nikki, I know without doubt this wouldn't be the case had I not hired her. Anyone should hire her, but especially younger women! Manu G2024-01-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nikki was awesome representing me through my divorce. Everyone at Solon law were very professional . I am very satisfied with everything. Thank you Katrell Cooper2024-01-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Going through a custody modification, had recently fired my prior attorney due to lack of communication, and handling of my case, among other things.. I had gone to multiple attorneys pleading my case and asking if anyone would be willing to help me, -- majority of attorneys refused to take on the case, or even talk to me because i was in the middle stages and was told multiple times "nothing can be done" or " i cannot help" ... Finally, I was able to find Trevor, who listened, and accepted my case, without hesitation even though I was close to a deadline. Trevor took mine as a mother and my children's needs into account, he was thourgh and understanding and brought up certain aspects I had not thought about, the experience was seamless, I was kept up to date on the goings on of the modification, as well which was a relief from the prior attorney, he always answered my text, phone call, or E-mail. I am so very greatful to Trevor and his team for their assistance in what I thought was a never ending, difficult court modification where I felt what I had to say didn't matter, i honesty felt like I had already lost. Trevor has truly given me peace of mind, in moving forward. As much as a stressed out mother of 3 is allowed that is. Thank you again Trevor & Solon LAW.

What Are Violent Crimes in Utah?
As mentioned above, violent crimes encompass a range of actions or omissions that result in harm to others or the threat of such harm.
These crimes are characterized by their severe impact, as they involve physical violence or the credible threat of violence. Violent crimes include, but are not limited to, actions that cause physical injury or death, such as assault, battery, and homicide.
Additionally, violent crimes extend to situations where an individual threatens another with imminent harm and possesses the capability to carry out that threat. This includes crimes like robbery, where threats of violence are used to coerce victims into surrendering property or valuables.
Furthermore, violent crimes can also involve the destruction of property that endangers lives. For example, arson is a violent crime that not only destroys property but can also lead to severe injury or death if it endangers others. The aggressive nature of these offenses makes them particularly serious, leading to stringent investigations and severe legal consequences.
What Can a Protective Order Do?
These crimes generally begin with intensive investigations by law enforcement. If you believe you are the target of such an investigation or have been contacted for questioning, you should immediately hire a criminal defense lawyer.
At Solon Law, we can ensure that your rights are protected and that you do not do anything, however inadvertent, to harm your case in these situations.
Furthermore, if you are charged with a violent crime, we can develop a defense strategy using all available resources to uncover such weaknesses as mishandled evidence, violations of search and seizure laws, unreliable witnesses, and matters of self-defense.
Remember that you are innocent until proven guilty and that the burden of proof for the prosecution is “beyond a reasonable doubt.”
With us in your corner, you can rest assured that you will receive the highest level of attention, advocacy, and support throughout the entire legal process.
