About Peter Vanderhooft

I am a Licensed Paralegal Practitioner in the State of Utah (Bar # 61009) and a Registered Notary Public with the State of Utah. 

Since 2017, I have been providing exceptional service for my clients. In 2018, I became a Certified Paralegal with the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA). I am a member in good standing of the Utah Paralegal Association (UPA) and the Paralegal Division of the Utah State Bar. 

Before fulfilling my dream of becoming a Paralegal, I worked as a Librarian with Salt Lake County and the University of Utah.  I have a decade's worth of experience in reference and customer service.  I became a Certified Records Analyst in 2018 and have extensive knowledge regarding records organization and management and legal research. 

I am committed to providing excellent legal services for every client. I am passionate about access to justice, information literacy, and community service. I believe that every person deserves timely and affordable access to justice – both procedural and substantive. To that end, I strive to provide cost-effective services that help clients understand and make informed decisions regarding the legal issues they face. I work hard to ensure that my clients feel heard and believe they received fair treatment. 

Although I work with clients of all types, I have dedicated my practice to helping underserved and marginalized populations, including the LGBTQ+ community and low-income individuals.

As a family law, debt collection, landlord tenant and divorce Licensed Paralegal Practitioner, I am committed to providing the assistance you need and deserve. If I can’t help, I will assist you in finding an attorney who can.
