Dentons Durham Jones Pinegar

"Doug Thayer and Dave Nielson are the two finest attorneys I could have hired. My family’s life was strung out in the courts for seven years. We had already been through three previous attorneys before I was referred to Doug Thayer. He can be intimidating, especially if you’re wired sensitively from past abuse. I almost let Doug’s abrupt, confrontational style scare me off when I first met him. But I knew I was shopping for a fighter, not a friend; and hiring Doug was one of the best decisions of my life. His initially intimidating style made him an incredible attorney able to wage a winning battle in court. I had an extremely complicated, sordid case, with mountains of evidence, that previous attorneys never bothered to investigate. Dave Nielson combed through EVERY piece of evidence for my case, leaving no stone unturned. Doug and Dave fought relentlessly for me, to protect my children. Though there is nothing worse than having your life in the hands of the courts, Doug and Dave are proof that even in an unjust system, there are still lawyers with integrity who will fight for the truth. It would take pages to describe all the ways my attorneys fought fearlessly, but a few examples... They uncovered the truth that a psychological evaluation report held as evidence in the court for 16 months, had been doctored and falsified. They challenged and turned upside down the unfounded, inaccurate reports of an unscrupulous reunification therapist. They stationed a process server outside the home of a witness the very day she was to return from an extended period out of state, having won their motion to re-subpoena her after she refused to answer questions. They sought out the best expert witnesses and had a continual stream of brilliant ideas for my case. They were upfront and honest about money, and worked as fast as they could to keep their bill within the confines of the budget I had. Doug and Dave did everything in their power to win my case and saved my children from a life of abuse and trauma. I will be forever grateful to them—they were worth every penny. They fought for a downtrodden, small-time, single mother with the aggressiveness and passion they would use to fight for a powerful, high-profile, wealthy client. I would return to them for any legal need, and I would refer anyone with an honest case to DDJP. Though I initially chose this legal team only for their fight, I now consider them my friends. Nobody fights that hard for you if they don’t care, and these attorneys truly care."

"Durham Jones & Pinegar have been fantastic to work with. Dave Nielsen has been extremely helpful and patient with every need I've had. I refer all my friends, family, and clients to him whenever a legal need arises!"

"Dave Nielson was professional, knowledgeable, and generous with his time. I've used many businesses attorneys from small startups to large firms. Dave and the Durham Jones & Pinegar team are among the best. Highly recommend."

"I have been using Durham Jones & Pinegar for a couple of years now for our patent and trademark work. They are very capable and sharp. We have been working with James Larson and his approach has allowed us to get more done in a short period of time than we previously had using other firms. James is very easy to work with and has provided great strategic insights and value to our patent and trademark filings and portfolio. He is up front and helps us understand the process, fees, and provides excellent guidance that fits in line with our companies patent and trademark goals and objectives. I appreciate his honest feedback which has allowed us to not only pursue things we didn't initially value in at the time but in the end did have value but also be upfront about times to take a step back or put things on hold. All around great firm."

"We have used a lot of other attorneys including our own in-house general counsel and had very little results. Once we switched to Durham Jones & Pinegar we have loved what they have done for our business. Working with Andrew Wright and Evan Schmutz has been a great experience. They know what they are doing and very good at getting the "water to the end of the Row". We were hung up on a couple lawsuits and they have helped it progress in a short few weeks of working with them! They might not want me to say this but they have even worked with us on a few bills with them...really like them a lot and appreciate what they do for us. I would HIGHLY suggest using Durham Jones & Pinegar!"
