Scott Crook is hands down the best attorney when it comes to Utah employment law, non-competition agreements, litigation, and business law in general. I’ve worked with several attorneys over the years and Scott has been the only one I’ve been truly impressed with. Scott worked with me on my case for approximately 7 months, as such, I’ve had the opportunity to interact with him on a regular basis. He is timely in his responses, thoughtful in his execution, and a true ally you want on your side. Scott never made me feel like I was asking a “dumb question”, and he always sought to ensure I understood every facet of my case throughout the entire process. I was so impressed with his services on my particular case that I will be using his firm for some of my companies’ other legal needs. I can’t recommend Scott or his practice enough. Experienced, dependable and level-headed. If you’re looking for an attorney who cares about his clients and their pursuits: Scott is your guy.
