Limited Representation in Utah I've received a number of 'free consultation' calls from persons needing help in their respective cases. Many potential clients do not have the means to pay a full retainer that would be used to further the case. The Utah Bar has issued opinions on attorney's helping those in need by either 1) appearing for a 'limited appearance' (which requires the scope of representation to be agreed upon by the attorney and client), or by 2) aiding a Pro Se litigant with drafting documents. After evaluating many of the 'free consultations' that I've had over the past year, I have decided to offer some limited representation services within a limited scope of representation. These types of representation usually fall into the following categories: -Reviewing Pro Se prepared documents and aiding in the drafting of uncontested (no contest divorces). Many inquiries have been made by potential clients as to the ability to prepare their own divorce documents.
My hourly rate is currently $200.00/hr (subject to change). There is a minimum 2.5 hour minimum billing for appearances to cover travel, preparation and, of course, the randomness of how long it actually takes to have the case heard once at the courthouse. Initial phone consulations (not longer than 15 minutes) are not charged. In office consulations are charged at my hourly rate with a minimum one (1) hour billable time. Jeff D.
