Ted helped me with my long three years of a custody battle. He knows the law, responds to any questions, concerns, etc in a timely manner. I felt he cared for me and not just money. I highly recommend him. Thanks Ted!

To put it bluntly, Ted is the guy for the job!!! I have been battling a complicated child support case for the past 4+ years due to the other party not providing the necessary documents. When Ted took the reigns everything fell into place. He knows the law and is not afraid to fight for what is right. I am eternally grateful for all he has done for my family and me and I would recommend him to anyone that feels things are spiraling out of control and needs a good and honest lawyer to take the reigns. You cannot do better than he!

Ted Weckel believed in me. He was exceptionally responsive to my needs and quickly attended to court filings in my appeal of a protective order. His compassion for my situation is greatly appreciated by both myself and others involved in this case. His experience as a trial lawyer was most valuable in defending the truth and we won the appeal. With difficult family dynamics and high emotions, Ted was a calming force. His knowledge of the law was invaluable to his quick responses to motions of the opposing party. I’m most grateful and humbled by Ted’s compassion in my most difficult and complicated case. If I could give Ted 10 stars I would.

I have been dealing with a very complicated divorce and custody battle for almost 2 years. I won’t go into detail but my case is out of state but I now live in Utah, so I hired Ted to try to move the case here. Ted is the most competent and caring lawyer you could hope for. He will look at your case from every angle and take the time to explain everything that he does and why he is doing it. He is also very responsive and was willing to work with me on payment. I would recommend him to everyone. Thanks again Ted!

Mr. Weckel has performed an outstanding job in representing a father for child custody. It is extremely rare when a father will gain custody of minor children in the state of Utah. Our efforts took years, and Mr. Weckel was there the whole way. His experience in legal custody battles are evident. Client communication, and persistent updates related to our case, as well as the personal understanding of the impact this process takes upon each individual shows a human value that is very rare. Mr. Weckel honestly values his clients goals, not money or fame, but the client. I will highly recommend anyone in child custody cases to meet and talk with Mr. Weckel and consider his legal expertise in matters of custody cases.

Mr. Weckel represented us in a complicated child custody case that lasted over one year. We are so grateful to have had his representation in this matter. Ted is very responsive, understanding of the deep personal issues, and has vast experience in cases like ours. We had to involve a PGAL for the children who Ted was familiar with, and turned out for the best. We had to attend multiple hearings which Ted was always well prepared for. Our 5 year custody battle ended in our favor after finally hiring Ted to finish the job a prior attorney failed to do. Attorney fees are not cheap, and Ted has always been willing to work with us. I will recommend Ted to anyone I know that may be in similar situations, witch I would not wish on my worst enemy.

Mr. Weckel treated me as if I was his only client. We never met in person because I live in another state but he always made himself available to me. Anytime something happened with my case I was immediately updated and any questions I had by email were answered the same day even on weekends. He is very knowledgeable about the law and ethical in his approach. Most importantly he cared about my family and kept my daughter's safety a top priority. An awesome attorney and an even better man.

Ted was the first attorney (of eventually several) I hired to handle my divorce and child custody case. He moved during the process and I had to find another attorney - then he moved back. Out of all the attorneys I've turned to, he seemed to be the most responsive, friendly, and genuine that I've worked with.{para}I feel he truly cared and is competent. I received feedback from some officers of the court that he may not be "ideal," but I never understood why. I liked him better than others.
