  • “I cannot say enough about Joe. When I’ve needed help, he has always been there for me, and when I felt like things couldn’t get any worse, his hard work and determination made all the difference. I’ve had other attorneys in the past, and the experience was never as smooth or reliable. I now work with Joe exclusively because I trust him completely, and I don’t recommend someone unless I truly believe they’re the real deal. If you find yourself in a difficult situation, I strongly recommend giving him a call.”

  • “I had a great experience working with Mr. Joseph Alamilla. He was down to earth and took the time to clearly explain the law, allowing me to make informed decisions with confidence. His approach made me feel respected and empowered throughout the process. Even when Mr. Alamilla wasn’t available, his staff was knowledgeable, responsive, and always ready to answer my questions during a very stressful time. He and his team made everything feel more manageable, and I would highly recommend Mr. Alamilla to anyone looking for an honest, hardworking legal team that truly has your best interests at heart.”

    - Alisha S. | 2025

  • “Joseph is without a doubt one of the most professional attorneys in the state. He took on my girlfriend’s case in early 2020, and after more than two years, he never gave up. He remained steadfast in his belief in her innocence and refused to be pressured into a plea agreement, ultimately securing a dismissal of all charges. He also assisted with clearing her record and ensured she was treated fairly throughout the process. Even after the case was dismissed, Joseph and his team continued to work diligently to obtain an expungement, successfully getting the prosecutor to agree that her record should be cleared. He is truly a standout in the legal field.”

    - Wiley B. | 2025

They are committed to standing up against injustice, which is something you don’t see often. They worked hard to do what was right in my situation, and I genuinely don’t know where I would be without their help. I’m incredibly grateful for everything they’ve done and can’t thank them enough.”

    - Robert H. | 2024

    - William S. | 2023

  • “I am Dr. Ben Laverty III, and I can confidently say that Joseph Alamilla is a great attorney. In 2018, I worked with an immigrant client who faced a difficult legal situation in Salt Lake City. Joseph remained committed to the case for over five years, despite challenges including illness, family loss, and the delays caused by COVID. His persistence ultimately led to a dismissal without prejudice. Throughout the process, he was fair in his fees, never wavered in his dedication, and handled the case with professionalism and integrity. He is not only an excellent attorney and family man, but has also become a valued long-distance friend.”

    - Dr. Ben L. | 2023

  • "Joseph was a huge help throughout my entire case. He constantly was trying to come up with a solution in which he did. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend him."

    - Lainey B. | 2023

  • “Mr. Alamilla was truly a blessing in my situation. I was facing a second-degree felony and three Class A misdemeanors, and from the beginning, he took the time to listen carefully and understand every detail of my case. He thoroughly reviewed all discovery, including footage and extensive documentation, and filed detailed motions on my behalf. Just days before my next court date, the State dismissed all charges with prejudice. Prior to his involvement, I had been offered a plea deal that included significant jail time, probation, and substantial costs. His preparation, dedication, and deep understanding of the law made all the difference. He provided the best representation I have ever experienced, and I am incredibly grateful for his work. If you are seeking legal help, I highly recommend reaching out to him.”

    - Luis M. | 2023

  • “As a foreigner, navigating the legal system in this country can feel overwhelming, not just because of the court process, but also the sense of isolation that comes with it. Joe was incredibly professional and dedicated to my case from start to finish. He listened carefully to my concerns, remained patient through difficult moments, and always made me feel supported. From our very first meeting, his values and commitment gave me confidence that I was in good hands. He was consistently responsive, even outside of normal hours, and his work ethic truly stood out. I highly recommend Joe to anyone in need of legal representation. He approaches every case with care, understanding, and a genuine commitment to helping his clients through challenging situations.”

    - Zhou Z. | 2021

  • "Mr. Alamilla handled my divorce case and was able to get me everything I asked for. Divorces aren't always the easiest , but Joseph made it as smooth as possible. I've even referred him to other people for their legal issues and they were very satisfied. I would recommend again!"

    - David M. | 2019

  • "Joseph was very helpful and took his time to make sure we got the best deal. His ability to pay attention to detail is absolutely amazing. I have recommend Joseph to many people and I will continue to recommend him to everyone."
