Joe was recommended to us by a friend. I am not a litigious person by nature but we were in a difficult situation with our home that was being built. Joe was able to help work through our issues in a very professional manner. After closing, there was an issue with the documents provided to us by the title company. Joe stepped up again and was able to resolve our issues very quickly. If you’re ever in a tough spot and need an expert real estate lawyer, Joe is who you need to contact.

It is with great pleasure that we write this note regarding our experience with Ryan Jensen in our Estate Planning.
After making an appointment with Ryan, he sent us two books that he had authored. They were so well written and informative; we felt as though we really knew what we wanted and needed in our Trust.
At our first meeting with Ryan, he immediately made us feel welcomed and relaxed while maintaining an easy professionalism. He guided us through the steps of our Estate Planning giving advice and help along each step of the document planning.
We certainly feel that we got the very best person with advice and knowledge. We are so grateful to Ryan and will certainly refer anyone we know who is in need of Estate Planning to him.

My husband and I were introduced to Ryan through a class we were taking. It was obvious he knew what he was talking about when it came to estate planning. We liked that he had focused his carrier on estate planning and was an expert in this field. He shared his book with us before even hiring him. This contained a lot of good information that was easily understood.
What I enjoy most about working with Ryan is his personable attention. Every call or e-mail was responded to immediately. Even when I did not intend for him to respond until business days and hours, I was pleasantly surprised to hear from him. With every question I had, and I had many, he put on his teacher hat and was happy to take the time to explain and teach me until I understood so I could make an educated, informed decision.
We do not have a large estate, but what we do have we want protected and cared for. Ryan made us feel like we were as important as a client with a much larger estate. He was caring and understanding, treating us with respect and guiding us to make sure our small estate will be well taken care of.
Ryan did the footwork. He contacted the other professionals we use to make sure everything was in order. When there was an inconsistency or problem, he took care of it personally.
Ryan is real, not stuffy, friendly, articulate, knowledgeable, experienced, thorough, possessing good communication skills, and the consummate lawyer. It is a pleasure working with him and I would confidently recommend his services.

Reed rescued me from a very legal situation that began when my ex wife refused to pay the debt she incurred by stealing my identity and then not making the payments on the credit cards she had gotten in my name. She agreed to pay these in our divorce decree. After almost 20 years of attempted garnishment of my income, he ended this for me, and brought me closure. Case closed. He's amazing! After being told by several attorneys that I had no hope of ever having these stop, he had them stopped in a very short time, and now I have peace knowing they will never come after me again for debt that was never mine to begin with. I would recommend him to anyone. He's very kind, understanding, and thinks outside of the box.

Jared deserves every bit of the high starting rating I'm giving him in this review.
I recently started a new business and he provided smart, innovative, and timely consulting on everything from capitalization to business development resources. In addition he has served as a strategic partner for negotiating licensing deals.
Having worked with fickle and inefficient attorneys in the past, it is nice to be able to relax, knowing that my counsel needs are taken care of.
For these reasons, I would highly recommend Jared.

I called this law firm from out of state and was fortunately connected with Kevin Bischoff. Kevin immediately understood the gravity of my situation and set about to find the best possible solution. Kevin is a sincere, compassionate, intelligent person. He listened to my concerns and opinions throughout. He is a problem-solver with a can-do attitude and is very diligent. He was always easy to get in touch with and he kept me informed of the progress in my case. I would highly recommend Kevin for any situation.

I had no clue how to file a foreign judgement in another state, I looked on line and found Kevin Bischoffs reviews and they are all excellent. It is my privelige to write a letter of recommendation about him. Kevin is a very intelligent, hard working and caring attorney who has gone above and beyound for me in my case. He cares about his clients. He would always keep me informed by email or phone and always got back to me asap. Kevin has helped me through a very difficult situation and I'm happy to say that I'm now getting monthly payments from the foreign judgement which I never would have received without his persistence and high knowledge of knowing what he's doing! I highly recommend him.

I felt that I was in good hands with someone who was trustworthy.

I have known Leonard and worked with him over a span of 20+ years. He is a lawyer's lawyer, thorough, erudite, practical, careful, solution-oriented, respectful, promptly responsive, a person of unblemished integrity. When I needed a written opinion from a third party lawyer in a complex securities matter, I retained Leonard. He went through all the facts and documents, delved into all public filings, conducted comprehensive telephone interviews, followed up as needed with further email inquiries, and then delivered a lengthy but masterful, unassailable analysis--all of which resulted in a favorable transaction.....and that likely would not have been the result had I hired someone else. I was so pleased with the outcome and the entire experience that I unilaterally paid him more than the [relatively] modest amount that he billed. Leonard is extraordinary.

I am a lawyer who does securities litigation work, among other things. I was involved in defending a party in a failed reverse acquisition transaction. The parties sued each other in federal court for breach of contract and fraud. The case went to trial for 4 days in March 2018 in Utah federal district court. We hired Mr. Burningham as our expert witness to give his expert opinion on several issues. He opined on the overall reverse merger business, including what "shell companies" are, the value of the public company being acquired, the repercussions of the toxic debt the public company had issued, the damages the public company allegedly sustained in having only partially sold control of itself to my clients, and also he opined on the ability of the market for the public company's stock to absorb the sale of several million shares and what that effect would have been. Mr. Burningham was a fabulous witness and the judge even remarked the following day when Mr. Burningham's testimony came up that he "was a highly qualified expert witness." This was an unusual compliment for a federal judge to pay during a trial and speaks volumes on Mr. Burningham's competence. If we ever had a similar situation, we wouldn't hesitate to use the services of Mr. Burningham again.

I am an engineer with an idea. I knew very little about patents and the process and we are a micro entity. We were treated every step of the way like we were an important client even though we were not a high dollar client. All of our many questions were answered and answered in plain English. I am continually amazed that we found such a wonderful firm with wonderful attorneys that I now consider my friends. I love calling them my Chicago thug lawyers who can protect my idea since the firm is based in Chicago.

There hasn't been a moment in the last year when I ever questioned if Andrew was working hard for me, Andrew has not only worked hard for us, but with us, accepting suggestion, giving suggestions, collaborating with me the whole way. He listens, He is not prideful, He is compassionate about each of his client's troubles and will give you 100 percent of his effort. I know his heart is for us and that is why I chose to stay with Andrew Rawlings. He knows his skill, He works well with others, he searches for knowledge and information he might not know so much about so that he can be the best attorney he can be for his clients.

Skye Lazaro has helped me resolve three potentially devastating life challenges, with favorable outcome. I never would have guessed I would be faced with these events, as most people believe that they will never need a criminal defense attorney. Skye is who you want to call if you ever find yourself in this sort of predicament, as I am certainly glad I found her when I did! She is knowledgeable, level headed, logical, calm and collective, where a stormy sea of emotions exist. Whenever anyone asks me if I know of a good Defense Attorney, I recommend her. I was amazed at how Judges, fellow attorneys (including the prosecution) gave her respect and gratitude within the courtroom. She is obviously well liked with years of skill, knowledge and experience with navigating through Utah's laws and courts. Warm and effusive professionally, she gets down to business with confidence and assurance. Skye Lazaro has shown me she is a 'Courtroom Wonder Woman', as she is the only Utah Criminal Defense Attorney you want by your side when the prosecution comes after you!

Ms. Lazaro was very helpful in navigating me through my case, which extended over the course of several months due to some red tape. Being in court was really unfamiliar to me, so her demeanor and expertise really helped me stay calm. My case was unnecessarily complex, but Skye eased my mind a great deal that we had to go through the process and that it would all work out in the end, which it did. Happy to recommend Ms. Lazaro for anyone in the market for legal representation.

Skye, has been nothing but amazing! She's always been there for me when I needed her, no questions asked! Like most, I'm not perfect and I've had a few run ins with the law, fortunately for me I've had skye by my side through it all. She's made what seemed impossible, possible! she really cared about what was best for me, never once judging me or making me feel not worth the fight. I can honestly say with her helping me, I have opportunities I've never thought possible and I'm able to continue my life like my legal problems were hardly ever even there. I couldn't have done any of this alone! There's no doubt in my mind that's she's the best there is, and she'll always be my go to whenever the unfortunate happens!

I met with Peyton regarding the formation of a LLC for my job as a flight instructor. Sharing a common background in aviation, Peyton was very helpful in explaining my options (S Corp vs. LLC, etc) and what would be necessary for both, as well as the responsibilities required afterward. His background as a tax attorney, as well, was very helpful with regards to being an independent contractor. I haven't had any tax issues but I would definitely feel comfortable recommending him for aviation issues. I feel like I took the right first step in meeting with Peyton.

Peyton Robinson was the most efficient and informative toward my case. He has several years of experience. I am confident in his representation, particularly because he is a licensed and experienced pilot. It is important to emphasize, he is a well rounded professional.
I contacted Peyton Robinson for a flight school related case. In this case, my goal was to recover the remainder of a purchased flight time block. With the information I had received: better rate advertisement on same aircraft and question of the legality of agreement, I was confident in disputing this matter with Peyton Robinson. His research, experience and representation was professional. I am very grateful to have found him in Utah.
Any pilot in Utah, who desires representation on an aviation related case or FAA enforcement action related case, I highly recommend Peyton Robinson.
Peyton Robinson is a professional. He is humble, friendly, and has affordable rates for aviators.
Overall rating--definitely top representation among Salt Lake City lawyers.

We were a software start-up in need of complex (to us) legal and business advice to ensure our software IP would be protected. We needed a firm that would "teach us" the why and not just the what. Mike walked us through the process of protecting our IP in the US and abroad and provided us the pros and cons of each step, as well as the financial and legal impact of each decision.
Mike and everyone at the firm were responsive and willing to spend the time helping a growing company ensure its long term viability. They have provided straight forward, sound legal advice around a variety of software, contractual and other legal needs. I'd highly recommend Mike and team for IP, contract, and other legal needs.

I called for a consultation with Marlon Bates, ot expecting much. I was having troubles trying to figure out my options and routes needed for adverse possesion/heirship/ect. He gave me 3+ more ideas options than ANY other real estate attorney in Utah! He was extremely thorough during our call, explaining everything and answered ALL of my questions (even though many sounded dumb coming from a young woman in her 20s).
I guarantee this: If I EVER need a real estate attorney, he is the FIRST on my lost.
Honestly, I feel like I owe him $400 just for his free consultation!

Attorney Marlon Bates went above and beyond in advising me and drafting an agreement to modify and modification to easement for my house purchase and I'm 100% sure I would not have been able to go through buying my first house without his help.
This was my first every need for an attorney, so I found Marlon through just the regular online search. After sending inquiry to over half dozen attorneys I found, Marlon was the very first to respond with immediate availability. He spent more than an hour on our consultation call, providing more than I was hoping to learn and get advice on the my easement situation. He left on a family vacation the week after but he was still very responsive to my questions and when I decided to move forward with the house with only left few days till diligence deadline, he was able to provide me with the perfect agreement and easement modification draft that I needed to close on my house with a peace of mind. In addition, he was able to clearly outline the risks and the steps that I needed to know and take to fully implement the contract and the modification.
Buying my first house with easement issues was a very scary decision and I would have never gone through buying this house if it wasn't for the reassuring consultation and the contracts and modification drafts that Marlon provided. I would go through this all over again with his help.
Ultimately, I ended up with a better term on the house and more favorable modifications to the easement than I would have initially accepted on the house.

I hired Hastings Law Firm for one specific case. I hired after a consultation over the phone with Brett Hastings. After hiring and coming to a settlement on my initial case, I have continued to use Hastings Law, not only because I have confidence in Mr. Hastings, but more to the point--specifically because I love working with Karma. Karma has forever changed the way I think of an "attorney". She is down to earth, professional, thorough and clearly well versed in real estate and business law. She is always very clear when straying into areas she does not feel confident in advising on and beyond that, she always offers up a more appropriate avenue to get my questions answered. I am never left with the "there is nothing to do about that" answer. I would highly recommend Hastings Law and Karma, not only for their capabilities, but because Karma gives me a confidence in knowing she's looking out for me. She is truly concerned with me as the individual having to live through, sometimes very ugly, proceedings. The relationship Karma has cultivated is a very personal one and there is something priceless to me about knowing someone values me, aside from the number of zeros on a check I can write them.

I was in a bad car accident that totaled my car and left me with painful injuries, a hospital stay, and unable to work, walk, or take care of my baby for months.
I was so fortunate to have Jessica working on my case. The motorist that caused the accident was underinsured and my medical bills and lost wages were way more than I could deal with. Jessica made the whole process simple for me. She completely coordinated the settlement process with my medical insurance, my auto insurance, and the auto insurance of the at-fault driver. At one point during my recovery, my doctor's billing service was hassling me about paying right away. Jessica contacted them and asked them to go through her so I wouldn't have the stress of dealing with them.
Jessica kept me informed during every step of the settlement process. She copied me on communications sent out to the various insurance companies and clearly explained the reasoning behind every decision, and what we could expect from each party. I could tell that she had a lot of experience working on personal injury cases like mine.
I feel confident that I got the best settlement possible. My medical bills were paid, my lost wages restored, plus Jessica worked hard to get me additional settlement money to pay me for my pain and suffering.
I would never choose to repeat the horrific experience of a car crash, but I'm so thankful for the expert work Jessica put in on my behalf after the fact. It allowed me to focus on my physical recovery, and not worry about any financial issues or jumping through insurance hoops. I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica. She is compassionate, professional, and really good at what she does.

My wife and I hired Kristin to help us with the USCIS green card application process and we're very happy with the help she provided. She was able to simply the process and asked us for key information needed to complete the forms! The paperwork was completed quickly and we had our paperwork filed very soon after our wedding! Anytime we had a question, no matter how small, she was able to assist and alleviate our anxieties regarding the application process. She was always available for questions and very knowledgeable. Kristin is very professional and trustworthy! She constantly checked in with us throughout the entire process and let us know what was happening with our case and the timeline for processing. Before our interview we scheduled a call with her so she could tell us what to expect the day of our appointment. We felt very prepared and had all of the necessary documents. I'm very happy we hired her and I would recommend her to anyone needing legal assistance!

They ensure that your business is compliant with relevant laws and help mitigate risks that could threaten your company's success.

- Forming a business: When deciding on the best structure for your company (LLC, corporation, partnership, etc.), a lawyer can guide you through the registration and compliance process.
- Drafting contracts: If you need contracts for employees, partners, suppliers, or clients, a lawyer ensures these documents are legally sound and in your best interest.
- Mergers, acquisitions, or dissolutions: If you are buying, selling, or dissolving a company, legal counsel is critical to avoid costly mistakes.
- Compliance and regulatory issues: A lawyer can help navigate complex regulations, particularly in industries like healthcare, finance, or tech.
- Resolving disputes: Whether it's contract disagreements, intellectual property infringement, or employment issues, a business lawyer helps mediate, negotiate, or litigate on your behalf.

- Hourly rates: The lawyer charges based on the time spent working on your case. Rates vary depending on the lawyer's experience and location.
- Flat fees: For certain tasks, such as incorporating a business or drafting a standard contract, a lawyer may offer a flat fee.

The payment structure is often discussed during an initial consultation so you can choose the one that best suits your business needs and budget.
How Much Does a Business Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a business lawyer depends on factors such as:

- The lawyer's experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in larger cities often charge higher fees.
- The nature of the billing arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $150 to $1,000 or more, depending on the lawyer's expertise. Flat fees are usually available for simpler matters like forming an LLC or drafting a standard contract.

Top Questions to Ask a Business Lawyer
Before hiring a business lawyer, ask the following questions during your consultation:
-
What is your experience with businesses like mine?
Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry. -
What services do you offer?
Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution. -
What are your fees, and how do you bill?

Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business. -
Can you provide references from other business clients?
Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism. -
Do you have experience in my specific industry?
Industry-specific knowledge can be crucial, especially in highly regulated fields like healthcare or finance.
How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is in good standing and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for client reviews or testimonials: Online reviews, testimonials, or word of mouth from other business owners can provide insight into the lawyer's reliability and effectiveness.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have satisfied clients who can vouch for their services.
- Check professional memberships: Membership in respected legal organizations (such as the American Bar Association or a local business lawyer association) can signal credibility.
- Review their website and professional profile: A well-established lawyer typically has a professional website showcasing their areas of expertise, credentials, and case success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:
- A description of your business and its structure: This will help the lawyer understand your legal needs.
- Any current contracts or agreements: If you're seeking contract advice, bring copies of existing contracts.
- A list of legal issues or concerns: Be ready to discuss any potential legal challenges, such as regulatory compliance, disputes, or transactions.
- Financial documents: If applicable, bring financial records related to the legal matter you're seeking help with.
- Questions about fees and billing: Ensure you understand the lawyer’s payment structure and fees upfront.
By preparing these materials, you can ensure that your first meeting with a business lawyer is productive and informative.
