Questions
Before you call
Straight answers to what people ask us first. Unsure how something works? Tap any underlined term for a plain-English definition.
Is the first consultation really free?
Yes. The first 30 minutes are free, in person downtown, by phone or by video. We’ll tell you whether we can help, what it will likely involve and how we’d bill it.
Does contacting you make you my lawyer?
No. An attorney-client relationship starts only after a conflict check and a signed engagement letter. Until then, please don’t send confidential details or documents.
What is a conflict check?
Before we discuss your matter, we make sure we don’t already represent the other side. We only need names for it, and it usually takes a few hours.
How do your fees work?
Flat fees wherever the work is predictable, like estate plans, formations and contract reviews. Disputes are billed hourly with a written estimate. You’ll always have the fee in writing before we start.
Do you meet clients outside Salt Lake City?
Yes. We represent clients across the Wasatch Front, including Davis, Utah and Summit counties, and most meetings can be held by video.
