More than 35 years of Legal Experience

Barney’s legal career includes service on a U.S. congressman’s staff, as an Air Force judge advocate, a Special Assistant U.S. attorney, and Assistant Attorney General. He has served as a prosecutor and criminal defense counsel, and full-time for four years as an appellate counsel, and has now served over twenty years in private practice. His current practice focuses on intellectual property, employment law, commercial litigation, and appeals. For four years running, he has been voted by other attorneys in the state as one of Utah’s Legal Elite in intellectual property and business litigation.

I was involved in a case which took five years to settle. Fillmore Spencer was there every step of the way and was as helpful as possible. When we encountered problems, they resolved them as quickly as possible. I was always informed immediately of any developments in my case and had any and all options clearly explained to me. And given what a difficult client I know I am, I can honestly say they know how to handle difficult clients with expert gloves:)! While my lawsuit was miserable, these guys made the experience more tolerable. They are officially my legal team now!!!

I would HIGHLY recommend Fillmore Spencer and in particular, Barney Madsen. Barney has been my attorney for many years and I would have to say, he has been a lifesaver! I would tell you that the service I have received helps me personally and in my business dealings as well more than I can say! Fillmore Spencer is the firm for you!!

If anyone is looking for a Trade Mark attorney i highly recommend Fillmore and Spencer " Barnard". He took my call and gave sound advice for almost 20min. FREE! He's done 2 of our companies and every penny was worth it.

I found that Barney Madsen and his partners are thorough, quick, and very knowledgeable.
