Stephen helped my business in two business areas. He advised and them helped me set up an s-corp. Then reviewed a complicated contract from a major corporation where I was going to consult. He provided excellent advice and guidance that the potential client accepted, saving my business money. I describe Steve as very engaging, very talented, and honest. While most people do not look forward to working with an attorney, Steve is a person that you should sincerely consider within any of his practice areas. York, Howell, and Guymon is a great firm. In the future, I would not hesitate to use Steve's services again. Thank you!

This attorney assisted me regarding questions on statutes of limitations for small claims landlord matters. There was no Utah Code per se regarding limitations of actions. Thus, I learned I had more time to file the claim as Shane explained things to me and listened and responded attentively with a phone call out of the blue.

Mr. Robson was an amazing help with my case. I had been in an accident and paid out of pocket for the repairs with the understanding the responsible party would reimburse me for my expenses. After months of being put off, I contacted Mr. Robson to seek relief. I was reimbursed in full before the case ever went to trial. I would not only recommend him, but I would hire him again in an instant.

I am recommending attorney John Duncan to you with the highest level of trust and confidence imaginable. Not only did he magnificently handle every detail of my divorce, he represented me in extremely professional ways. John’s working knowledge of divorce law helped me navigate through the treacherous, complex waters of a lengthy marriage in its final stages. His expertise served me well and saved me at least 10x the money than the fees spent to work with him. The return on investment by hiring John as my divorce lawyer can be measured both in dollars and peace of mind. I knew everything was being properly handled for the benefit of me and my daughter. Perhaps the most valuable aspect of John Duncan’s personality and workstyle for me was his compassion. He recognized this as an extremely fragile time in my life and always reminded me of what was important and what to focus on. I’m extremely grateful for the high-quality service and personal attention John provided at a critical time in my life.

James Dunkelberger was my litigator on a suit I filed against an errant Uncle who was trustee of my Grandpa's estate. Said Uncle ran to the "No. 1" law firm in the state to defend our suit. When that "didn't work" Uncle ran to the "No. 2" law firm in the State. Hilarity ensued! It was a 15 month fight into which both James and I each put a lot of time but in the end the beneficiaries on my side got 87% of what their full inheritance would have been and that's a lot better than some on Errant Uncle's side ended up with. My brief take away is that I would never hire one of those "Big Firms." What you need is a good facts and a great lawyer who is honest, smart, clever and professional (did I say smart?). It was a long slog but we had good facts and James is a great lawyer and all of those things above. He was instrumental to our favorable outcome.

Working with Trevor Sanders was a bright spot when it seemed the world was crashing down around me. Trevor was professional and always positive, and we ended up with a good, fair settlement against one of the big boys. Without his direction, knowledge and persistence we would not have been successful. Thank you Trevor.

Steve advocated for me after a major rear-end accident that left me with a great deal of injuries, pain and suffering. Through his representation I was able to table the claim side of things and focus solely on healing/recovery. There was always a solid and high level of communication. I always felt heard, valued and supported. When I finished treating Steve was able to articulate my injuries, pain and suffering so well that he tendered policy limits from the at fault driver and both UIM insurances available. His advocacy means that I will not be in debt to this accident that was no fault of mine. My lost wages are covered, medical expenses covered and I have an added monetary cushion should I ever need to revisit treatment on any of my injuries. I am forever grateful for Steve Linton and his representation. -Sasha

Scott Crook is hands down the best attorney when it comes to Utah employment law, non-competition agreements, litigation, and business law in general. I’ve worked with several attorneys over the years and Scott has been the only one I’ve been truly impressed with. Scott worked with me on my case for approximately 7 months, as such, I’ve had the opportunity to interact with him on a regular basis. He is timely in his responses, thoughtful in his execution, and a true ally you want on your side. Scott never made me feel like I was asking a “dumb question”, and he always sought to ensure I understood every facet of my case throughout the entire process. I was so impressed with his services on my particular case that I will be using his firm for some of my companies’ other legal needs. I can’t recommend Scott or his practice enough. Experienced, dependable and level-headed. If you’re looking for an attorney who cares about his clients and their pursuits: Scott is your guy.

I got caught in a pinch with changes to the State liquor laws that only gave me 12 days to get my application in before the new law went into effect. My business attorney recomended Tanner as he wouldnt have the time to get up to speed on all of the complexities of my situation and the liquor laws. This was probably the best advise he has ever given me. Tanner was able to efficently guide me through the application and licensing process as well as assist the DABC with some legal interpretations of the law that were pertenant in my case. I would not have been granted my license without her! Mark. L

Our company found itself the defendant of an action that put significant and unanticipated financial strain at a time when we were attempting to double our capacity. Ted Cundick was our guide, studied resource, and pragmatic problem solver through our very complicated matter. His representation of our company was crucial. While very seldom does either party "win" entirely, Mr. Cundick methodically guided our case to resolution that definitely was a win for us. It is with pleasure that we would recommend Ted Cundick to those seeking an appropriately aggressive problem solver.

As a member of The Employers Council, I have always valued their amazing service and solid expertise. It was no surprise to me that, when this organization hired Bob Coursey, he continued to provided the same level of exceptional client care that I had come to expect. He is direct with his advice, patient with his counsel, and thorough in his analysis of each situation. He responds immediately to messages and is extremely knowledgeable of all aspects of employment law. I would recommend Bob and his organization to anyone needing accurate and timely information pertaining to advice for employee relation issues, trends in human resources, and expert information for HR professionals.

Mr. James recently acted as mediator in a disputed attorney's fee and malpractice suit involving our group and another law firm. We were very impressed with Mr. James' ability to quickly grasp the situation and identify the relevant facts for each party. However, what impressed us the most was Mr. James' relentless ability to help all parties overcome emotions and make rational decisions. In the end, and after a whole day of negotiating, we were able to come to an agreement and settle our dispute. I have little doubt that if we had a less focused and determined mediator the agreement would have never been reached and we would still be spending money on attorneys.

there are few attorneys in Utah who are of the same caliber as Jeremy Delicino. He doesn't allow his emotions to cloud his good judgment and works side by side with another one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the state of Utah. Jeremy will fight HARD for your rights under the constitution and law. Goes the extra mile to even meet with me on a holiday... you wont find better than Jeremy Delicino.

I worked with Jared over a series months and was extremely impressed by his combination of legal acumen and expertise as well as real world savvy. He took over a case from a previous attorney who had created a significant mess quagmire for him to unpack, organize and then turn around. Apart from bringing my case to a rapid resolution, he did so at a very reasonable cost and with the utmost efficiency. I would not hesitate to work with Jared again and feel lucky to have had him on my team on a very difficult case. If there was a 10 of 5 stars option on this website I would offer it to him.

She was my lawyer when I was In jail and I was in a very delicate situation. I have an eternal amount of respect for her because she is extremely professional. Colleen gives everyone tons of respect and defends with lots of character, she displays a priority to make peace with oneself and the community. I felt as if I was stuck, and immediately upon meeting her I felt important. I knew the true intentions of everything. Even though at times I may have gotten confused, Colleen was an enormous blessing because she taught me. It was always important for her to show me to keep a positive learning composure. While I began to see only problems, she kept showing me solutions. Quickly, I knew that I was going towards good things and I learned that I needed to do my part. Colleen and her agency helped me to see how to grow. I am only keeping my best mood and behavior, working with my best intentions to aspire great things for all of the community. I am sure I will never be in trouble again, I am at peace with myself and I am eager to keep building healthy relationships with everyone as possible. Thank you so much Colleen! And also I passed my case and I passed probation and my record is completely clean. I must say I was truly very blessed.

I give Clark Fetzer my highest recommendation. We retained Clark Fetter as counsel in an incredibly complex construction law matter in Utah involving a sub-contractor's failure to perform, and our relationship as General Contractor with a major retail client. I can say without equivocation, Clark is a pre-eminant attorney in his field. His integrity, skill, and effort are unsurpassed as he applied his many years of experience and excellent judgment to provide cost-effective legal solutions for our problem. Clark gets my highest recommendation.

  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?

    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
