The caucus the republican school board members have formed outside of the normal 15 person board has been orchestrated by the AG office.
This office does not represent you! It is all special interest.

Sara represented us in a boundary dispute with a neighboring HOA. She was thorough, sensitive to the stress a lawsuit caused us, was incredibly up to date on the latest applicable laws and zealously represented our interests. We were very happy with the outcome and could not have done it without here. Highly recommend her.

She represented us for over seven months. She intentionally keep legal information from us such as when the opposite party failed to file the reply counter claim. Instead of to act on her clients request and clients' best interest to end the disputes, she lied to the court, filed the proceeding extension requested motion without our knowledge and approval to prolong the case to benefit herself finically, and on behalf of opposite party. She is an unethical and unprofessional lawyer!

On April 13, 2015, I retained Russell A. Cline of Crippen & Cline to handle a case in US Federal District Court. Sometime later, Mr. Cline prepared a Representation Contract in which he promised to represent me in both the US District Court and 10th Circuit Court and then again in US District Court. On September 29, 2015, Mr. Cline attended a hearing and argued the July 2005 statute of limitations clock reset date. The judge ordered additional briefings by both parties. Mr. Cline was to argue the July 2005 date and the October 2005 reset date per the order of the court. Mr. Cline failed to argue the July 2005 reset date which was the crux of my case. Due to his failure to argue the proper statute of limitations date in the District Court, I lost the case. I filed an appeal in the 10th Circuit Court. Mr. Cline then immediately commenced arguing the correct date of July 2005 which caused that appeal to fail since no "new evidence" could be presented on appeal. Mr. Cline then turned tail and ran after the 10th Circuit instead of doing as the Representation Contract stated that he would handle the case back in District Court after the 10th Circuit. Mr. Cline would file documents in both courts without proof reading them and would get dates and other items wrong. I would review the filed documents and he would have to file an amended pleading. Very sloppy work plus he failed to honor his end of our contract and is in breach of contract. To date, I have paid Russell A. Cline, Esq. of Crippen & Cline, $10,000.00. I cannot recommend Mr. Cline or Crippen and Cline to anyone.

Mr. Cline has felt more like a friend than an attorney, but in a very professional way. I grew up with a lot of respect for the Study of Law, because my father and grandfathers were attorneys, of the highest order. They truly loved to help people through the law, and Mr. Cline has proved his is of the highest caliber over a long case we hired him for. Mr. Cline was patient, persistent, and responsive after we could finally get a Trial set. After 1 1/2 years of the Defendants trying to avoid or drag out the case, hoping we would give up, we finally saw Mr. Cline in a court situation. The best part, is that we WON everything we had asked for, even though there was the loss of the use of our property in that time. We are happy to give him the highest marks!

Bryant McConkie was a pleasure to work with. He reviewed the details of the case and offered all possible solutions. He also recognized the harassment from the opposing party and did not put up with their garbage.

Mr Mcconkie represented the other party in long and messy divorce case —which never should have been been long or messy. Several of his colleagues have confirmed that Mr Mcconkie’s work persona had shifted im recent years, and he often gets caught up “pleasing” clients (including incredibly unstable and abusive ones), rather than looking for smart ways to shorten the case & reduce the cost + trauma of family court. If you’re looking for a trusted attorney who is actively finding ways to mediate quickly, save time and costs, and not invoice you for years while he gladly feeds the drama, keep looking.

Our homeowners association hired Curtis as general counsel to help us (the board) with several issues, including rewriting our old, outdated CC&Rs and bylaws. He knows every bit of the laws that apply to our HOA and the new documents are excellent. We couldn't have asked for better work. After using attorneys for years that don't specialize in HOA law (because we didn't know any better), we can't believe the difference. It's so much more efficient, helpful and valuable using an attorney that knows this area of the law so well. Thanks!

Hired Curtis to represent me in court. He was unable to express himself, allowed many obvious lies told be the opposing party to go unquestioned and assured me that there was no legal liability in the contract under dispute. Did very little preparation, likely none, for the court appearance, and thus lost the case. Lacks eloquence and persuasiveness, both of which can be verified on your first meeting with him. Find someone else.

This attorney represented me in a local justice court. Despite the fact that she had numerous other clients waiting to talk with her, she spent enough time with me to understand my case, explain my options, and expectations for each option. Personally, I found the whole experience to be very scary and was comforted by her patience, understanding, and the way she represented me in the court room. I would definitely recommend her and hire her again.

I had been representing myself in a case involving Sandy City's property ordinances, and I had demanded a jury trial. At the latest pre-trial hearing, the judge offered to assign a court appointed attorney because, he said, he did not want me representing myself in a jury trial. At our first (and only) meeting, this attorney summoned me into the conference room at the courthouse, avoiding eye contact and failing to even introduce herself. The first words out of her mouth were an indirect admission that she had not even read the case file (even though she had had weeks to do so). Skimming the file as I sat there, she proceeded to tell me what the City was "offering." I tried to explain to her that we were beyond all that and she had been assigned to this case specifically to represent me in a jury trial, but she cut me off by putting her palm in my face as if I were a little child. She looked me in the eye for the first time to tell me -- in an extremely angry tone -- that this was a conservative community and a jury would convict me just because I was sitting in the defendant's chair. The meeting only went downhill from there. When I told her she would not be representing me, she arose and screamed at me -- yes -- screamed -- with her finger in my face -- "Get out of here!" I was already getting up to leave at that point, which made such an embarrassing scene completely unnecessary. I then went into the courtroom and told the judge what had happened and that I could not have such a person represent me. He then assigned a different court-appointed attorney to my case.

I get this lawyer for free from my work, otherwise I would never use her. She has been my lawyer in the case against my ex wife with who I have two kids with. And during court she made things worse for me and now I have to pay for more things to my ex wife because of my lawyers incompetance.

When I needed help with my divorce, Sallie Benedict not only gave me solid legal advice, she also showed great compassion and understanding for what my family and I were going through. She helped me realize that better days were ahead and that divorce is not the end of the world, but ultimately a new beginning. Can't thank her enough.

I hired Sallie Benedict of Alder & Robb, P.C. The service I received was very poor at best. I spent a substantial amount of money for time supposedly spent on my case which resulted in the court nearly dismissing the case twice because of inactivity. The only reason the case was not dismissed, and costing me even more money, was due to opposing counsel asking the court to keep the case open. Neither Sallie Benedict nor Alder & Robb, P.C notified the court that they were representing me; therefore the court assumed I was representing myself. I strongly suggest you look elsewhere if you need good legal representation!

She was so busy talking about her upcoming wedding/dress I'm surprised she even had any time for me. On my sentencing day she was busy making a lunch date with the prosecutor and so I got no warning of how my demeanor might affect the judge I had. I was sentenced to 15 months in prison and learned more about how the legal system works, from the inmates, after being incarcerated then from this supposed professional !!!!

Absolutely worthless. He agreed to take my case if I gave him 20,000.00 dollars. He promised for that amount he would take the matter to trial. I gave it to him and he promised we were going to trial. While I will admit my case wasn't easy by any means. He was the second lawyer I hired. The second he cashed my check he said I should take a plea deal that was offered. He also said if I wanted to go to trial it would double the cost. Once I very reloctantly took the plea deal I asked how much of the 20k I would be receiving back. He said none. I then had to hire a third lawyer to clean up the mess that he and my first lawyer made. Jon is only interested in taking your money. He also will show his over inflated who and tell you how great he is if you question him. Buyer beware stay away! Also if you got screwed over by him I encourage you to go to the bar association. They probably won't do anything like when I reported him. But if enough people complain it might force their hand on the matter.

Mr. Jensen is emotional and irrational. He seems to completely misunderstand the court's procedures. He went on an extensive diatribe bashing the character of one of the other parties during a preliminary hearing. The court was simply determining whether or not litigation should commence, and trying to determining the scope of discover. The judge had to tell him that his remarks were unnecessary and outside the purposes of the hearing that day.

Mike Jensen is excellent. I was involved in a family dispute. On a recommendation of another attorney, I hired someone else. I came to regret it because the other attorney(s) let things get out of hand. Plus they passed the case between three attorneys in under two months ("oh, he's suddenly really busy") while charging me fees for getting each of those attorneys up to speed, but letting the other side gain advantage. Mike shut the other side down. He knows statute and case law and uses them efficiently. My only regret was not hiring him from the start.
