* Q: What is “no-fault” divorce, and does it exist in Utah?

Divorce Client Service Center

If you wish to pursue a divorce or other family law action or make an appointment with Eric, please complete the short-form questionnaire.  It takes 5 minutes or less to complete, and it gives Eric a better idea of what you need or want to discuss.

After you complete the short-form questionnaire, you can then schedule consultation with Eric, or you can apply online to become a client, if you want to do that.

New and returning users can access the Divorce Questionnaire by clicking the link below:
Client Divorce Questionnaire Login.

Should you wish to retain me to file and/or pursue a divorce action, please complete the new client application/questionnaire below (I know it’s long, but DON’T SKIMP; I need all the information requested in it to evaluate your case properly).  Please complete the whole thing for your own benefit

Fortunately, many of the questions in the questionnaire may not apply to your particular case, so it won’t take as long or be as hard as you might think.

Taking care of these matters in advance saves you significant time and money, and ensures that pleadings are accurate.  Should you have any questions about completing the application/questionnaire,

Completing and submitting the application/questionnaire is the first step to applying to become a client, but it does not make you a client.  Becoming a client is a three-step process:

1)      After I receive your completed application/questionnaire, I will make contact with you to notify you as to whether I can represent you.

2)      If I can represent you, I will send you a representation agreement and instructions for how to pay a retainer.  Sign the attached representation agreement and return it to me (you can mail me the agreement, fax it, or e-mail me a copy) with your initial retainer of $3,000.00 (you can pay online or mail me a check, as you prefer).

3)      I send you written confirmation that I agree to represent you.  I will then send you a request for complete copies of any documents (whether court documents or personal and business documents) in your possession or under your control that I will need and/or you believe may affect your case.

Should you have any questions about becoming a client, please call or e-mail me.  Thank you.
