Steven has been practicing law since 1982. He is admitted to practice in the State of Utah as well as before the Utah Federal District Court and the United States Supreme Court. Steven received his law degree in 1981 from Samford University located in Birmingham, Alabama and his bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of Utah in 1977 where he graduated cum laude and was runner up for a departmental award for academic excellence and his participation on a number of departmental committees. Immediately after graduating from law school Steven worked as a prosecutor for two years before going into full-time private practice where he prosecuted a wide variety of criminal cases. Steven also served as a Judge Pro tem for the Third Judicial District Court for a number of years during his early years of practice. Steven has also been active in politics having run for the Utah State Senate having barely lost a close election where he was supported by many influential people in the community. In fact, he was and has been since his candidacy the only candidate for any office that received an open endorsement from the editor of Salt Lake Tribune. Since his candidacy, Steven has been active in supporting candidates that are open to supporting lawmaking that has improved or is designed to improve Utah’s judicial system and he continues to maintain substantial influence in this regard.

Steven’s areas of practice include primarily family law, personal injury, probate, contract law, and criminal law. In the area of family law Steven has represented hundreds of clients in both district and juvenile courts throughout the entire state with great success. Steven’s clients have presented with a broad range of issues from complex custody and financial issues to simple visitation and support issues. Steven’s aggressive approach on behalf of his client’s cases has resulted in a successful track record whether it has been in the trial of such cases or in early resolution through mediation where he has had a high percentage of cases settle, saving his clients thousands of dollars and avoiding his client’s lives continuing in legal limbo for several months.

My case was difficult, messy, and there were a lot of moving parts. Cory helped me make sense of what the best course of action would be, was professional and considerate. He was my second attorney, and I'm glad I made the switch.

I can’t even begin to say how grateful I am for Nate Wall. He represented me in 2016 in a custody battle and again these last few months in a relocation battle. Both cases he was able to win for me so I didn’t lose my daughter, who is my absolute world. Nate is absolutely AMAZING and I would recommend him to anyone, even my closest friends and family. He is ON POINT, knowledgeable, kind and caring, will work as hard as possible for you, and is the lawyer you have been looking for. I wish I could give more stars. Absolutely amazing. ❤️🙏🏻

I am so incredibly pleased with my experience with Steve Wall. He is a real straight to the point no nonsense attorney which is super helpful for someone like me who has never needed an attorney before. He made things so simple for me and him and his assistant Frances were always very quick to respond! I would recommend Steve Wall to anyone going divorce and custody! Thank you so much Steve!

I met with Steve Wall to get his opinion and to see if he would take my case. What really got me hooked was when he told me that 90% of his cases get settled in mediation. I for one did not want to go to court. I was really impressed by the promptness in the beginning. Everyone does not understand the terminology that is used on the documents. So my first thought was to email the legal assistant. Very nice and understanding in the beginning of my proceedings. There was some documents I really didn't understand so I called. Well big mistake. She was pretty upset with me because according to her she explained in full detail. She made me feel really bad because I didn't understand. As time had went on I sent a couple of emails to the same legal assistant. No response. Emailed a couple more times. When she finally decided to respond she was not pleasant. The last email she responded to was 12/7/21. Sending a couple documents to sign for mediation. I never heard one word after that. I sent an email to her on 3/3/22. No response. So at the end of the day on 3/4/22 I had to call into the office to find out where we was supposed to meet. Mediation was on 3/7. I really understand that they are busy. But no need to make someone feel bad for asking questions. I'm very grateful to Steve for helping me and settling in mediation. That there made me happy. Thank you Steve for all you did for me. Much appreciation!

Nathan Wall took over my case that had been going sideways for 12 months. He reviewed my case info and got my divorce settled in 1 mediation within a month and a half.Nathan is a straight shooter and told me what I didn't want to hear about how to quickly conclude my divorce instead of filling me full of hot air and dragging things out.Nathan got me fair joint custody and guided me well to a settlement concerning marital assets and real property.Nathan knows the law inside and out. He is an experienced litigator and was a pit bull for me in my mediation.Man or Woman, Nathan is the the guy you want to work with to avoid cliché divorce ongoings.

My attorney is Steven Wall and I cannot even explain how grateful I am for the work that he did on my case. Going through anything that has to do with custody is probably the most stressful thing that someone can go through and Steve did an amazing job walking me every step of the way and calming my nerves by explaining everything in detail. The day I contacted him to obtain his legal counsel I had called at least 30 different attorneys I was overwhelmed. He not only contacted me back on the same day but he personally reached out to me and was extremely professional unlike some of the other attorneys I contacted that only seemed to be interested in talking about there fees before even trying to discuss anything and some didn’t even call back till days later. I obtained his legal services and needless to say Steve WON my case today and I could not be more grateful to him, he truly is a blessing. If you’re looking for an attorney Steve is it.

I felt like Nate really took the time to know what was happening in my case and was really impressed how he stayed on target with relevant points and didn’t wast time with pointless bickering. He really took care of my interests in areas I wouldn’t have even known to be mindful of. He had solid advice and I am really happy with the outcome he negotiated in my case.

Nathan Wall really cares for the children and listens to his clients. He was good at informing me what was going on, and what to expect with each step of the way. He doesn’t want to drain the bank account either and tries to get things taken care of quickly. He is knowledgeable and knows the system well.

Steve handled a personal injury case involving my daughter who was involved in an accident with a drunk driver. I we were anxious to put it behind us and settle with the insurance company but Steve advised us to hang on and be willing to go to court. In the end by following Steve’s advice we were able to get a much better settlement. We were very happy and more than satisfied with his work. I would highly recommend him.

Steve Wall has been helping me with my case for the past year and I would highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone to take an honest look at your case instead of sugar coating things like most other attorneys will just to get your business. From our first meeting onward Steve has been realistic about my case, which was so good for me because I’ve had a much better idea of what to expect. He’s always stayed on top of anything that’s needed to be filed and when it came time for our actual court date, Steve was very well prepared and far exceeded my expectations when it came time for closing arguments. He absolutely, 1,000 percent knows what he’s doing in a courtroom and if I’m ever unfortunate enough to have to seek legal counsel again I won’t hesitate to call Steve again. My case hasn’t settled yet, but because of Steve’s professionalism and knowledge in this business I have no doubt this will go in my favor.

You will not find a better family law attorney than Steven Wall! I had a very ugly, long drawn out divorce/custody battle and an ex that continued for years to harass me both personally and through the courts. Steve represented me diligently and with great integrity. There were many times I felt hopeless and so beaten down emotionally that I wanted to give up. Steve kept me going. He could see the truth and he fought for me. I will be forever grateful. He is an honest, ethical, and a truly caring man. I could not be happier!!

Steve Wall is the best lawyer that I have ever had as my representative. He is tireless in his efforts in getting the results that were needed for the favorable outcome I received. His negotiating and communication skills are on the highest level that I have seen in any lawyer(s) that I have previously teamed with. His honesty and integrity are also of the highest standard.
