CLIENT SUCCESS STORIES
| Estate Planning An elderly woman came to our law office having learned that she did not have access to her life savings because another attorney had prepared estate planning documents for her family that were not customized to meet her family's needs. Despite her and her deceased husband's intent, her children were set to inherit all of the money intended for the wife and they were unwilling to take care of her needs. Through some complicated planning consistent with the estate documents, we were able to help our client legitimately transfer monies a bit at a time until she was able to gain control of the monies as she and her husband had intended. |
| Settlements We represented a senior citizen who owed over $40,000 in legitimate debt. We were able to negotiate a settlement where he paid only 1/4 of the debt. |
| Criminal Case Several attorneys informed our office and my client that he should expect to see bail set at $20,000. We were able to establish a $2,000 bail. |
| Settlements We regularly help clients amicably settle their disputes - whether it be divorces, contract disputes, landlord/tenant disputes, or other legal fights. Drew is a trained mediator and makes consistent efforts to keep clients out of the courtroom whenever a settlement would be better than litigating the matter through trial. |
| Criminal Case Eight felony counts of criminal racketeering were resolved by making restoration payments and a small fine to the victim reparation fund and community service. The judge told our client that usually she just locks people up when they are guilty of racketeering and told our client that we did a great job for him - but that he better not slip up on his probation or she would throw him in jail. We helped make sure that our client successfully completed probation. |
| Tax Case A dispute with the Utah State Tax Commission ended amicably. $21,000 in fines were reduced to $1,000 payable in monthly installments over a year with zero interest. |
| Litigation Our law firm took over a published case that has been in litigation for several years. Judgment was awarded against this new client before our firm took over the case. Recently, our firm's successful defense against multiple post-judgment motions saved clients from being liable for close to $4 Million in additional damages. |
| Litigation - My Lai Case The UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT denied certiorari (refused to hear the appeal) and we were able to collect remaining attorney's fees awarded to our client. |

The case generated national attention and was reported by ABC News and the largest newspaper in Utah state. Our client was also awarded attorney fees and costs for successfully defending the appeal. |
