Asset protection is an area of the law designed to deal with the protection of your assets against future creditors. Asset protection planning is designed to avoid having to pay creditors or existing loan obligations. Asset protection law is structured around the fact that whatever you own, your creditors can come after if you do not take the important steps to protect those assets.
Creating a comprehensive financial plan is essential for everyone! If you do not have a financial plan created, now is the time to do so as it will include cash flow planning, insurance management, and investment management. Individuals will be able to understand their borrowing structure, which includes home mortgages and credit card management.
Many people are unaware that the federal government can tax gifts. If you do not donate money to charity or donate to non-taxable gifts, you may be required to pay taxes on those gifts if they accumulate more than $13,000. Part of the estate planning process will discuss estate gift and tax planning.

Brad is a great attorney, but his paralegal Pam is the WORST!!!!! We used Brad for stepparent adoption and Pam submitted the wrong paperwork 3 times!!! You would think you would make sure to find out from the court what paperwork that is needed before doing it wrong 3 times!
Pam is also very condescending!! Every time I had a question or didn’t understand something, she was rude and made it seem like I should know already. Also like I was wasting her time.
My last complaint about Pam is that she doesn’t communicate with you at all! I was always in the dark even up to the point of picking

I will never use their services in the future. They incorrectly billed me, and failed to bill the legal plan which I had in place at the time of service (which was a requirement of our contract!).
They then attempted to collect money, that was not owed to them by me, for the next few years after service (service was in 2015). I replied to each one of their demand emails and letters letting them know of their mistake and they ignored every one of my responses.
They continued to send demand letters every 6 to 8 months with no response regarding my replies. Terrible communication, and I wasn't pleased

Professional, knowledgeable, interesting. It doesn't take a long conversation with either David Stevenson or Brad Smith to know that they have the experience and the wisdom that would warrant a much higher bill if their office was located in downtown Salt Lake. If you need a lawyer in the Ogden area, you really should give them a call.

Brad Smith is a wonderful attorney. He immediately made me feel confident that he could help me with my case and i cant thank him enough for all he has done for me. If you are looking for an attorney that knows estate law he is the man. I would highly recommend him.

I was impressed with the real estate law attorneys at Stevenson & Smith in Ogden, UT. They provided crucial advice on how to deal with a complicated real estate transaction dealing with a land trust. They were direct and responsive to my calls. I appreciate that they weren't afraid to tell me NOT to do something. Good local attorneys to have on your side if you have any real estate law issues.

Sam was able to look at my case from a different angle and see things that he was able to change to help make a speedy closure and saved me a lot of money.
