Howard, Lewis, & Peterson PC law firm is one of the most friendly and competent law firms I’ve ever known. My attorney Jacob Gunter was innovative and knowledgeable. He was always willing and available to meet and kept his costs and expenses down. His staff was exceptional and willing to help in any way. Julie, Mr. Gunter’s secretary, helped me in so many ways.
I have no reservation in giving Mr. Gunter and his law firm a superior rating. He’s a 10 out of ten.

Jake is a wonderful attorney and put my mind at ease with respect to my issues. He was communicative and presented all my options while providing excellent counsel. His recommendations and predictions of how the legal system would react were spot on.

I would recommend Jake to anyone in search of a good defense attorney in Utah, and I am incredibly thankful for his guidance and skill. Thanks Jake!

Jake Gunter is exceptional, he always follows through on his promises. I’ve known him for almost two years, and I can confidently say he’s the best person to reach out to. I’ve had a few complicated situations, and he’s helped me on more than three occasions to navigate through them. Jake is also very flexible with payment, always shows up on time in court, and keeps me informed with updates. If you’re looking for a reliable lawyer, Jake Gunter is the right person to contact. Thank you, Jake!

We retained Jake Gunter as a top attorney for a case that had a lot of importance for our family. This case had an opportunity to completely turn our life upside down so we knew we must pick someone that was a GREAT LAWYER not just good. Jake was GREAT. He and his staff made a huge difference and the outcome was all that we could ask for and want. I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you Jake

5 star review M.E. 11/2024

My experience with Jacob Gunter exceeded my expectations, he was professional, tenacious, knowledgeable and was a straight shooter through my entire case, his attention to detail is unbelievable, his knowledge of law is so on point that when he speaks to you its like he is reading from a book, I appreciated his quick responses to questions or concerns. He was always quick to get back to you within the day or sometimes hours and that was really helpful throughout the process, if you want a guy who is an absolute pit bull in the court room Jacob Gunter is your guy. Thank you jake for digging deep and your endless pursuit of the truth and justice.

I just finished working with Jacob and he not only went above and beyond, but did so with compassion, professionalism and respect. I know the “wheels” of just turn slowly, but he completed everything I requested, in a time sensitive manner. If you need a solid ethical lawyer, call his office. I recommend his services without hesitation! Thank you again!

5 star review.  Confidential matter for sure.

Talented and diligent, very hard working. Jacob went beyond the expected and achieved a well deserved result.

He did an awesome job representing us! Our case came out with a very good outcome. He was honest and gave great advice throughout the entire process!

Mr. Gunter represented me for a tricky traffic violation. He was very helpful in working with me to reduce the penalty. He was able to figure out how to best help me in my case, and made me feel so much more comfortable about the whole thing. His front office were communicative and prompt as well! Thank you!

I was in an accident a little while ago. After the accident, I found Jacob Gunter, and he was an incredible advocate and support through the injuries and legal dealings. As someone who had never needed a lawyer before, I didn’t know what to do or how to advocate for myself. When I hired Jacob, I had no idea how much I would value his expertise and support during the process.

He went the extra mile multiple times to help me really understand the decisions I had to make and represented me very well. He genuinely cares about his clients and works hard to get them justice. If you want a lawyer who isn’t afraid to get you justice and help you feel comfortable throughout the process, Jacob is fabulous. If I ever need another lawyer (which I hope I don’t), I would definitely go back to Jacob Gunter.

L.W. 02/2024

I had an great experience with Jacob. , He was not only professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive and responsive to all my questions and concerns. He handled my cases with the utmost care and I felt confident throughout the entire process. His attention to detail and dedication to my cases was truly impressive. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance. He went above and beyond, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome.

Resident from Las Vegas. I was flying through Utah and got clocked at 93 in a 75 by a Sheriff. I did not want it on my record so I called Jacob Gunter. Paid a small fee and he took care of it! He was a very honest man.

WF 01/2023

I can’t say enough good things about Jacob Gunther! He was beyond amazing and truly went above and beyond to provide exceptional service. His expertise and knowledge of the law were evident throughout my case, and he was always there to provide support and guidance during what was a very stressful time.

What really stood out to me, however, was his compassion and empathy. He truly cared about my well-being and was dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for me. His professionalism and dedication were truly admirable.

If you’re in need of a lawyer, I highly recommend Jacob Gunther based on my experience. He is simply the best!

HA 03/2023

If you’re looking for a highly skilled and effective lawyer to help you resolve legal issues, Jacob is the person you need. I recently had a reckless driving issue on my record due to speeding, and Jacob was able to help me settle the payment and negotiate a favorable outcome for me.

Not only was Jacob able to resolve the issue quickly and efficiently, but he also took the time to chat with me about the expected results and made sure I was comfortable with the deal before moving forward. His professionalism and attention to detail were truly impressive.

Overall, I highly recommend Jacob, at least with cases, regarding reckless driving.

VV 01/2023

Through some unfortunate events which led to flight cancellations during the Christmas Holiday my family and I decided to drive to a different city to catch a flight on which we found seats available, I was driving fast, and was caught speeding by a State Trooper. Researching law firms on-line, as this was my first ever encounter with a law issue, I found Mr. Jacob Gunther’s name, and after reading the excellent reviews about him and the firm he works for I decided to call and ask for advice. I spoke to Mr. Jacob Gunther, and he presented the options I had clearly, on point, answering all the questions I had then, as well as during the court proceedings. He was very professional, and communicative throughout my case, him and his staff promptly responding to all my questions during the case, which relieved me of the stress this issue has caused. He was accurate and 100% efficient and I highly recommend him. The results he obtained were great, he got what he promised, the fees were fair and were stated from the very beginning. Thanks for all your help, Jake!

MA 01/2023

Jake was phenomenal! I really appreciated that he took the time to calm my fears and nerves throughout this stressful process. He clearly explained what we could make happen and he did. I am very grateful for his services. If you choose to go with him, just know you’re in great hands.

Jake & team got me out of a jam, excellent work.

JCW 12/2022

Highly recommend Attorney Jacob Gunter. Rather than risking my teenage son being convicted of a Class C Misdemeanor from using his cell phone while driving, we hired Jacob Gunter to represent him in his case. He did exactly what he said he would do and got my son a Plea of Abeyance. Very clear communication and professional staff. Fair pricing and no hidden costs. Get’s the Job done!

AU 11/2022

I actually called pretty late in the day and Jacob called me back that same day. Very responsive, very knowledgeable. He explained our options clearly and thoroughly. He and his staff did a great job at sorting everything out and handling all the details. I highly recommend him.  RR 11/2022

Sometimes you’re just makin’ your way the only way you know how, and that’s just a little bit more than the law can allow. Luckily, we have Jake to help us out in those times. I had no idea what to do and after a quick response from Jake Gunter (afterhours even), I knew I had made the right call. His down to earth though professional explanations made it simple for me and got the results I needed.

KS 10/2022

FAST — EFFICIENT — ACCURATE — NO ISSUES — TO THE POINT

This lawyer is not your average legal council! He is above and beyond any legal personnel Ive ever met before.
Jake is straight to the point with no punch’s pulled and gets the job done at the end of the day!
He helped me on a misdemeanor charge and did everything he promised he would do and in the end got more then bargained for .. I was 100% satisfied with his legal help and would use him again.
THE PRICE WAS RIGHT WITH NO HIDDEN COSTS OR OVER CHARGES..

Thanks for all your help JAKE — Pete

Jacob Gunter was honest, direct, and open. He didn’t waste his or my time and knows his stuff. He’s well organized and very efficient!

B.W. 10/2022

It’s very normal to get into any sort of legal issue and be confused/scared (this was my first time with any legal issue) and not know what to do. I went online to read lawyer/firm reviews and called several different firms. I’m so glad I chose to go with Jacob (or Jake as he is known). Jake had great reviews and now I see why. He was very genuine and well informed. It’s always a good sign when someone can explain complex subjects to you in a simple understandable way and that is what he did. He broke down my case and explained what the likely options where and how he could help. His prices were fair and he was communicative throughout. Also, he was able to get a great result for me! This situation that initially stressed me to no end is now one I can put behind me as I move forward with my life. Highly recommended you reach out to Jake!

JO 09/2022

You don’t have to go looking for him. He’s on the ball and about his work, that should say enough if your familiar with how typical attorneys operate.

Jacob is very knowledgeable and easy to work with! Would absolutely recommend.
Kay. 06/2021

The service went well beyond my expectations. I hired Attorney Gunter all the way from New York and the entire process took place virtually. The outcome of my case was better than what I had expected. He assisted me in 2019 on a misdemeanor charge from 2018. As I was cleaning my e-mail inbox, I realized I did not leave a review back then. Thank you so much for your assistance!
Mike. 06/2021

Attorney Jacob Gunter was an absolutely phenomenal decision to hire as my attorney. From the moment I called him in a panic not knowing what to do, he calmly told me what he could do for me and what my best options were for my situation. After I hired him, he took care of everything and informed me of which direction to take. Hopefully I never need to hire an attorney again, but if I do, I would have zero qualms about re-hiring Jacob Gunter as my attorney.
Myles. 05/2021

I highly recommend Jacob S. Gunter for anyone who needs this done!
I contacted Jacob in order to get a reduction done. ​I needed a 2 stage reduction. Not a common 1 stage, or expungement, as they would not have helped in my situation.
They were able to deliver, and as of today, I am free of the nasty stain on my record that has haunted me for many years. It will allow me to continue in my current job.
It took some time (less then I thought it would) for him to assist me in getting the proper paperwork done and filed with the courts, and he kept me well informed throughout the entire process to the end.

Once again Jacob, a big Thank You!! for all your hard work!
Client. I.A. 04/2021

Jake can help just about any situation. With his help I had the upmost confidence moving forward on my matter. He makes sure that you know and feel he’s truly going to bat for you and in your best interests. I will never tackle any legal issues without him.
Client. W.F. 03/2021

I first saw Jake in the Courtroom at my initial appearance. His professionalism and mannerism caught my attention and I knew I had to hire him. I asked him for a card and contacted him the following day. Best decision ever. All the staff in the Courtroom had much respect for Jake. I think that’s the best sign of a good attorney. He did me way better than I could have ever expected. Hire him and you’ll be posting 5 stars on here also. 01/2021.

Jacob Gunter nailed it when it comes to attorney services! Quick response, professional, well prepared and even overly prepared just in case the need arises. Not only does he know the legal side of things, he can very clearly drive the case in a direction to make results happen. You will be making a mistake if you overlook this attorney. With all the mediocre attorneys out there, why not pay for a good one instead? 01/2021

L. C.

Professional from the start. Had a minor infraction that i refused to succumb to abused authority. I had a lane gore infraction that turned into a deeper issue so i hired Jacob. He wasted no time taking responsive action in my defense. He listened to my situation, and represented my case for me and had judge G hear the truth from an expert. I wanted the best. I wasn’t worried about penny pinching- i was concerned with truth and proper representation. Thanks again . I highly recommend Jacob.12/2020

P. Marine

They say that a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client. I almost was that lawyer, and that fool . . . until I gave Jake a call. Since he helped me out a few years ago I’ve turned to him time and again when I’ve needed personal representation or when I’m looking for a second opinion on an issue for one of my clients. Jake is incredibly responsive and knows both the law AND the players in Utah and Salt Lake Counties (judges, opposing counsel, prosecutors) – ’cause sometimes, it’s not about WHAT you know, but WHO you know. And trust me, it doesn’t matter if you were at the top of your law school class (like I was) and have been practicing for years (like I have) – the person YOU want to know for personal injury, civil litigation, and criminal matters is Jacob S. Gunter.

My experience was very positive with Mr. Gunter; he and his staff were helpful and clearly explained everything that was going on and what I needed to do in relation to the case, and the price was very reasonable. I’d be glad to use his service again if I need legal help in the future.04/2019

Last November my daughter was stopped for speeding while driving th try through Utah, from California back to college in Colorado. The speed was excessive!!!!!!! Thanksgiving break came along and I looked for a lawyer in Utah to help with the situation. (We live in Texas). Jacob Gunter was the person I contacted and within hours he got back to me, might I add it was the weekend too. He reassured us that he would take the stress off us and do everything in his powers to resolve it all. He did!!
Between himself, his team and his fabulous assistant Julie, a deal was made. I am truly grateful! My 18 year old daughter is extremely grateful too. Thank you!! 04/01/2020

Jacob S. Gunter is an amazing attorney. Jacob was able to bring his considerable experience to the table in my case. Jacob”s legal expertise and the formidable defense he presented in court, led to a slam dunk win for me. I couldn’t recomend Jacob S. Gunter more highly.

Jacob is a great attorney. I highly recommend his services. He’s personable, smart, and good at his job. He helped me understand everything going on and outlined for me all of the options I had. His staff is fantastic and kept me up to date on everything. Would definitely use him again.

John B.
Client

This was a new and very scary experience for us. Mr. Gunter was very good at making us feel comfortable with the process, making sure that all our questions were answered and that we knew exactly what to expect before we walked in to each court session. Of course there are always curve balls in the legal system. This was no exception. But it was all handled professionally and with us, the clients first in mind. Jacob has excellent personal relations and a strong knowledge of the legal system. I highly recommend Jacob Gunter!! HIGHLY!

Stephanie B.

Mr. Gunter was amazing when it came to my criminal defense! He was super personal when fitting, and still professional. He is the attorney that I personally recommend for anything. I felt very comfortable talking to him about my dark past and it worked out positive, which it sometimes doesn’t, because he was a huge advocate for me, even knowing my history and charges I was facing. I know where I would be if I didn’t have him in my corner, he is greatly appreciated my not only me but my family as well. Plus, it also helped that he worked with me when it came to cost even considering all the work he did and court appearances it took to get me through.

Having my friend refer me to Jake was the best idea. He is not only a great Attorney, but he’s also very nice. It’s not all about the case, he really gets to know you and throws some jokes out every now and then. If I ever need an attorney again, he’s my go-to.
