Marlon L. Bates has practiced real estate and business law, including both transactional work and litigation, since graduating from law school in 1986. He has been a partner at the firm since 1991 and has served as the firm's managing partner on three occasions. He represents a wide variety of clients including banks, mortgage companies, credit unions, loan servicing companies, title insurance companies, property managers, developers, landlords, real estate brokers and many other businesses.
I cannot recommend Marlon Bates highly enough. He is truly one of the few genuine and compassionate attorneys still out there. From the beginning, it was clear that he cares deeply about people—not just cases. He isn’t driven by billable hours or financial gain, but by a real desire to help and make a meaningful difference.
He’s incredibly knowledgeable, with a strong reputation and respected presence in the Utah legal community. His credentials and experience speak for themselves and he is well-regarded by his peers.
What stood out most to me was how approachable and personable he is. He truly listened, never dismissed my concerns, and always gave me his time—even when I knew he had a busy schedule. I never felt rushed and always felt heard.
He is a true advocate for truth and justice and it’s rare to find someone in this profession with such integrity and heart.

We were able to meet with Barbara Melendez this week to discuss immigration issues regarding our Peruvian son and visa options. She showed great concern and provided insight and understanding that we needed. Her knowledge of the immigration system is second to none. Her honesty and candor provided us a clear picture of our options. I endorse her services and her commitment to assist those of us that need immigration advice during this unique time
