Ladies, if you are getting divorced, this is the place you want to go, specifically Bart Johnson's team. Bart in particular will comfort and console you and even take you to his home in the avenues and sleep with you. Pictures of him and his clients have been taken exiting and kissing outside of his home, he prefers women of authority, like a doctor or a principal at a school as examples. If you want them to win a case for you however, that is where they lack. They file a lot, but don't succeed in much other than waste your money but at least you get screwed in more ways than one.

I engaged John Snow to represent me in March of 2023 with the only request being to remove a Trustee who had embezzled millions of dollars from a family Trust. The issue with it was that it implicates Kirton McConkie in the fraud so I made certain Parsons Behle had no problem going after “The Lords Lawyers” to which John responded “of course not”
On April 14th 2013 he issued a letter to KMC law requesting answers to various questions but in the end has nothing to do with removing the Trustee.
KMC Law refused to respond and John brought in Angus Edwards and Mindy Kids to assist. On June 7th or almost two months later Mr Edwards sent the exact letter knowing there would be no response..
August 9th 2023 the three attorneys filed an unrelated derivative claim against my siblings but did confirm the KMC fraud within the body; but just refused to add KMC as a defendant in this $100M estate case.
August 18th The attorneys filed amended complaint forgetting to add the summons. They refiled three weeks later on Sept 12th but forgot to verify the complaint.
Oct 3rd; I complained to John Snow via emails to which he responded “I do not have the time to read or respond to your questions and we are “done”!
I paid approx $75k in fees and accruals to have a trustee removed and instead I was dropped the day before the hearing in which I was forced to go pro se against KMC who Judge Faust let off with a false Jurisdiction issue.
He wasted 7 months of my life; took all of my money; and left me with no representation to face the law firm who refuses to account for my parents $100m estate which has been embezzled by my sister and Craig McCullough through “The Old Switcheroo”…
Please review case# 230905835 wherein John Snow states Mr McCullough KMC Law has a Professional Conflict of interest and everything the law firm did should be “void”
When asked why he refused to go after KMC Law and stand behind his words; he responded “just because I said it does not mean it is true”.
All that Parsons and the three attorneys needed to say last March is “sorry; we have a conflict of interest”. But chose instead to breach their fiduciary duty to me and my daughters in favor of apparently keeping their fiduciary duty to the most prestigious religiously affiliated law firm in Utah..
I’m speechless as to how cold hearted and ruthless these attorneys are I’ve been dealing with for four years while being prohibited to see my own dad who is still alive and abandoned by KMC Law who he paid hundreds of thousands in fees to have them protect him; and not my sister Lisa Stephens and her husband Bryan..
Greed is a terrible curse..

have had nothing but amazing experiences with NLSU.All the staff members are extremely compassionate,accommodating and polite.They have handled my child custody case since 2016 and I think I have been very lucky and blessed to have them by my side!
I felt so lost and intimidated by the other party but Aaron went the extra mile to help me out of my situation.He is immensely knowledgeable,smart,balanced,calm and ethical.He is a really brilliant lawyer and a gem of a person.Not only does he have an extraordinary acumen related to the legal affairs, he is also very responsive and professional.He handles all the case details himself and follows up with you and returns calls/emails promptly.He has a meticulous,professional and respectful approach.Aaron is not the sort to make loud claims and bait you; he will give you a very realistic and accurate perspective about the outcome of the case.His calm demeanor is also a great strength and quality.Aaron fights aggressively and persistently but in an ethical manner.A thorough professional and a very honorable person! I am truly indebted to him,for the rest of my life
Thank you so much!

On January 23, 2019, I retained Aaron Garrett of Nonprofit Legal, Salt Lake City, UT., to handle a case for me in the appellate court. He said he would take on the matter and personally handle the case. His and his firm's representation is a far cry from the claim that he made when taking on the case. I then was Prose to the supreme court and Mr. Garrett withdrew leaving me on my own. On March 11, 2019, I again retained Aaron Garrett being unable to afford anyone else since he had required a retainer and had some of it remaining. This matter was on a related case in district court. Mr. Garrett assured me that he would personally represent me but prior to the hearing, he assigned it to an underling that was ill prepared for the hearing and failed to properly represent me and was mouse-like in court. The opposing party's attorney shredded her. There are still unresolved items related to that case which Mr. Garrett has been paid to handle. He refuses to finish the job. Mr. Garrett's lack of communication and commitment to clients is questionable. My advise, you get what you pay for. Hire a more aggressive attorney and law firm and forget this one.

Nice man, Got right on my request the next day. Got me results that I wanted very quickly. The price was right. No muss, no fuss. I highly recommend Mr. Garrett.

I worked with Kevin Tanner through my employer's legal insurance program. I reached out to him for a consultation on a car accident settlement with an insurance company. In just 30 minutes, he gave me valuable advice that enabled me me settle the claim for a very fair payment from the insurance company. He was also very honest in his recommendations and did not try to upsell me on expensive services I didn't need for my situation.

Attorney Karra Porter said she would send a gramma request to get a 911 call and other police records for our family. After a month or two I called back to follow up and her paralegal stated that they had forgot to do it due to a family emergency but that they would definitely still do it. After another month or so I called back to see if there were any updates and was not called back. Over a period of close to 4-6 months they have not returned my phone calls or voicemails. At one point the receptionist told me that Karra would call me back the next day and she did not. If they were not interested or willing to look into this I would have found another attorney. But both Karra and her paralegal said they would do this for me and they did not; or if they have done it they have not given me any updates. Due to this delay we have now passed the 1 year mark of my family member’s passing and may not be able to hold the city accountable if there was in fact any neglect of duty. I believed that Karra was sincere in her willingness to help out my family but due to either her failure to act or failure to inform us of any actions taken, she has done our family more harm than if she would have simply declined.

I spent over $300,000.00 using Heather Thuet as my supposed advocate, She tried to mask her lack of knowledge of the law with haughtiness. i had to go to her colleagues to reason with her. I asked her for written opinions of specific legal questions, she didn't provide them. I have spent millions in legal fees and the money i spent on hiring her was the most ill-spent. She doesn't know the law and she doesn't care to learn it.

Please listen up all Utahns, Heather Thuet was recommended to me by another lawyer and she has proven to be an exceptional advocate. She is efficient, knowledgeable and exceedingly effective. She really cared!! I would recommend Heather with confidence to anyone.

Everyone carries a hope they don’t realize: I hope I never have the need for an attorney. Unfortunately, this hope often means we find ourselves unprepared when the need actually arises. In my case, I found myself involved in a lawsuit with a former friend of mine—someone I had explicitly trusted—and had no idea what to do. Fortunately, another friend of mine found Heather Thuet during a quick Google search for “real estate attorneys.” We called her firm, scheduled a consultation, and prepared for the worst; so many stereotypes exist, painting attorneys as “bloodsuckers” or as someone who is willing to sidestep ethics in order to pad the bill.
Heather completely defied this stereotype. As I started to explain the situation that had brought me to her, she was kind and empathetic. She listened carefully and asked a few questions and I could already see a strategy forming in her head. She knew what to do immediately and her expertise brought such a relief to my anxieties. When the inevitable question of cost came-up, I was thrilled with her description of how things would work. There would, of course, be standard things she would have to be responsible for, but any research that could be done by me would be offered to me first, as a cost saving measure.
Throughout the process, I never felt as if my time was being abused. Heather kept me informed of everything that was happening and was available to answer questions, but nothing was dragged out. She aimed for a settlement so as to avoid the expensive costs of going to court and never filed unnecessary documents with the courts. The other person involved in the lawsuit, my former friend, had an attorney who wasn’t so kind. His counsel submitted a ridiculous number of unnecessary filings and refused a settlement. Despite our efforts, we ended up in a courtroom.
This, however, was where Heather really shined. She prepared me and all of our witnesses for what we should expect while on the stand, she came with all of our exhibits well organized and thought out, and she was ready for whatever the plaintiff’s counsel could have thrown at us. Her courtroom manner is impeccable: professional, intelligent, and very deliberate.
When the judgement was presented, I’m happy to say it was a win for us! We won! My family’s home of ten years was on the line, but the judge found it fitting to allow me to refinance it into my name with nothing owed to the other party.
Heather is a gem. While I would still hope I don’t have need for an attorney again, I would immediately contact Heather if the need ever arose. She was fair, compassionate, and incredibly talented.

What a Real Estate Lawyer Can Do for You
A real estate lawyer provides legal assistance in transactions and disputes involving property, including residential and commercial real estate. Whether you're buying, selling, leasing, or developing property, a real estate attorney can help ensure that your transactions are legally sound and your rights are protected. They review contracts, perform due diligence, resolve disputes, and provide legal representation in negotiations and litigation involving property matters.
Real estate lawyers are crucial in safeguarding your investment by ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal real estate laws, as well as protecting you from potential legal pitfalls related to property ownership and transactions.
When Should I Hire a Real Estate Lawyer?
Hiring a real estate lawyer is beneficial in various scenarios, including:
- Buying or selling property: When navigating complex real estate contracts, it’s advisable to have a lawyer review and ensure that the terms are favorable and legal.
- Commercial property transactions: For leasing, purchasing, or selling commercial properties, a lawyer can help manage the intricate legal aspects of such transactions.
- Zoning or land use issues: If you're planning to develop property or change its use, a real estate lawyer can guide you through zoning laws and land use regulations.
- Resolving property disputes: For boundary disputes, title issues, or disagreements over property rights, a lawyer can help mediate or litigate the matter.
- Foreclosures or evictions: If you're dealing with foreclosure or managing a tenant eviction, legal representation ensures that the process adheres to local laws and protects your interests.
- Title and deed issues: Lawyers can help clear title disputes, ensure the legitimacy of property deeds, and handle transfers of ownership.
What Does a Real Estate Lawyer Do?
A real estate lawyer provides a range of services to help with property transactions and disputes, including:
- Contract drafting and review: Ensuring that purchase agreements, leases, and other contracts are legally binding, fair, and protect your interests.
- Title search and clearance: Conducting a thorough title search to ensure that the property has no legal claims or liens that could affect ownership.
- Facilitate closing: Managing the closing process in real estate transactions, including reviewing final documents and ensuring that everything is in order before the transfer of ownership.
- Resolve disputes: Handling legal disputes related to property ownership, boundaries, zoning, or tenants.
- Assist in financing: Reviewing loan agreements and mortgage documents to ensure the terms are fair and legally sound.
- Zoning and land use advice: Guiding clients through the complexities of zoning laws and building regulations for property development or renovation projects.
How Are Real Estate Lawyers Paid?
Real estate lawyers typically charge for their services in the following ways:
- Flat fee: Many real estate transactions, such as reviewing a sales contract or assisting with a closing, are charged on a flat-fee basis.
- Hourly rates: If a lawyer is handling complex disputes or litigation, they may charge by the hour. Hourly rates can vary significantly based on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Contingency fees: In rare cases, such as property disputes or claims for damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win or settle the case.
- Retainer: For ongoing legal support, some clients may pay a retainer, which is an upfront fee used as a deposit for future legal services.
It's important to clarify the fee structure with your attorney before hiring them to avoid any surprises.
How Much Does a Real Estate Lawyer Cost?
The cost of a real estate lawyer varies based on the complexity of the matter, the location of the property, and the lawyer’s experience. Key factors that affect pricing include:
- Type of transaction or issue: Simple tasks, like contract reviews, typically cost less than handling a complex property dispute or litigation.
- Experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in high-demand areas, like urban centers, often charge higher rates.
- Billing structure: Lawyers may charge a flat fee for basic services like document review or hourly for more time-intensive work such as disputes or litigation.
Flat fees for straightforward services like closing assistance may range from $500 to $1,500.
Hourly rates can range from $150 to $400 or more, depending on the attorney’s experience and location.
Always discuss fees upfront to understand the overall cost of the legal service you're receiving.
Top Questions to Ask a Real Estate Lawyer
Before hiring a real estate lawyer, ask the following questions to ensure they are the right fit for your legal needs:
-
What experience do you have with real estate law?
Ensure the lawyer has experience in the type of real estate transaction or dispute you’re facing, whether residential, commercial, or development-related. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for services - whether it's a flat fee, hourly rate, or retainer - so there are no surprises later on. -
How long will the process take?
Especially important for real estate transactions or disputes with deadlines, ask for a general estimate of how long the process will last. -
Have you handled cases similar to mine?
Experience with similar transactions or disputes can give you confidence that the lawyer knows how to handle your case. -
Will you handle my case personally, or will it be passed to another attorney?
Confirm who will be handling the bulk of your case work, especially in larger firms where junior lawyers may take on some responsibilities. -
Can you provide references?
Speaking with past clients can give you insight into the lawyer's experience and how they handle cases.
How to Check the Credibility of a Real Estate Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a reputable real estate lawyer, take these steps:
- Check with the state bar association: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no disciplinary actions on their record.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on legal directories and platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell to see what past clients have said.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have past clients willing to share their experiences.
- Review their track record and expertise: Look at the lawyer’s website or LinkedIn profile for information about their experience in real estate law and any relevant cases they’ve handled.
- Membership in professional organizations: Lawyers who are members of respected legal or real estate organizations, like the American Bar Association’s Real Property Division, often signal credibility and expertise.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make your first meeting with a real estate lawyer productive, you should prepare the following materials:
- Relevant property documents: Bring purchase agreements, lease contracts, mortgage documents, zoning permits, or any other paperwork related to your case.
- A summary of the issue or transaction: Be ready to explain the situation, whether it's a property dispute, contract negotiation, or development issue.
- Questions about the legal process: Prepare a list of questions about how the lawyer will handle your case and what steps are involved.
- Financial documents or loan agreements: If the case involves financing or a mortgage, bring any related documents for the lawyer to review.
- Your goals and timeline: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, and if there are any deadlines that need to be considered, such as closing dates or legal filings.
By coming prepared, you can ensure that your consultation is efficient and informative, allowing you to assess whether the lawyer is the right fit for your real estate needs.
