In an increasingly complicated world, long gone are the days of generalists. Individuals, families, and businesses need legal professionals who concentrate in specific areas of the law and who stay on the cutting edge in an ever-changing landscape. Every year, attorneys are required to attend educational courses to maintain their licenses.
Most attorneys in Utah stay right here to get that education. The training here in Utah is good. In fact, attorneys at York Howell & Guymon regularly teach these kinds of classes. But we also realize that if you want the absolute best training, you have to go to national conferences which focus exclusively on a particular area of practice.

I asked Mary Black to put a house in an LLC and send along a form rental agreement. The only thing that the firm was quick about was getting a fee retainer and payment in place. It took over two months, with repeated emails that she didn't respond to, in order to get the LLC done - and then she did it wrong. I gave her the information to set it up in our family trust's name, and she forgot about that. So, it had to be redone. Then, I've asked her repeatedly for a simple list of names of mortgage lenders in the area, and she has not responded. I am very disappointed in her responsiveness

Needed some guidance around business planning and what protections can be implemented for clients of mine and one of the attorneys there, Chris Jones, was professional and very thorough. I am impressed and confident to loop him in on multiple scenarios. I'd give him a 5 on timeliness responsiveness as well. Smart guy. Good firm.

I have used Chris Jones for many years and have had nothing but positive results. He has assisted with the creation of an LLC and has handled various legal issues that have arisen from my business dealings. Each time Chris and his staff have been honest and upfront about the process and costs involved. Chris is a Pro at what he does and it is comforting to know that I have a "go to" attorney who can handle any issues that may come my way. If you have a legitimate legal issue and need solid and sound legal advice, I wholeheartedly recommend Chris Jones and his capable staff. Thank you!

Tried to get Chris Jones at this firm to give me some answers... He wouldnt answer the questions without a retainer... Perfectly fine with that... So I asked some questions pertaining to his honesty and integrity, making sure that I would get adequate competent representation, and he declined to answer those questions... The specific questions I asked Chris Jones, at this firm, that has yet to be answered are:
Who is your first duty to, should I retain you?
Corpus Juris Secundum (C.J.S.) legal encyclopedia, volume 7, section 4, His first duty is to the courts and the public, not to the client

I really hesitate to ever post a negative review, but haven't had the greatest experience with a probate case with this law firm. I was quoted 4 k, and it ended up being 8k even after I expressed concerns (they cut out some attorney fees). I wasn't notified of an important court date because the paralegal was sick/out...extending probate 2 to 3 weeks more unecessarily. Finally, when my real estate agent was preparing documents for the sale of a property, the title company informed us that title wasn't prepared correctly by the firm. I'm not sure if I was just "too little" of a fish for the firm

After we had our first child, we wanted to make sure we planned for his physical and financial well-being, should anything ever happen to us. Through their Estate Planning services, York Howell provided us with the peace of mind we needed. The process was simple, yet extremely thorough. We would absolutely recommend York Howell!
