Leilani Whitmer at Brown law really took the time to listen to my concerns and help me with my case. The front office staff was helpful in getting me to where I needed to go. I hope that I don’t need to use them again but if I did I would definitely go back because they were so helpful and caring. - Sam H

I’m writing this review, specifically about Carren Leavitt. Carren is the absolute, hands down, no questions about it, best Paralegal in the Family Law Business! Trust me…I’ve had several experiences with working with Family Law Attorneys and their Paralegals. Many of you may know, or even if you don’t, the Paralegals are the ones that you interact with, and communicate with most. There’s bad ones, mediocre ones, good ones, excellent ones, and then there is the Carren Leavitt level of Paralegals! Carren knows how to communicate, always responsive and available, knows what to do and how to do it, solution oriented, extremely hard working, takes pride in being the best of the best! Carren Leavitt is what I would refer to as an “Expert” and absolute professional! And this review is coming from a person that has high expectations of others, especially in the professional arena…so, to get a 5 Star Review from me, then that says it. I’d gratefully, with gratitude, write a 100 Star Review (if that were possible) about the Paralegal Expert, Carren Leavitt!

I was opposing counsel on a highly contentious case against a client represented by Amber McFee. Amber was not only professional; she was solution-oriented, creative and hard-working. She is a fantastic attorney who knows how to strike that necessary balance of zealously representing clients and working toward long-term resolution. What makes her even more unique, in my opinion, is just how delightful she is to work with -- even as the "opposition." There are too many lawyers out there who can't see the forest through the trees; Amber is not one of them. She's a "big picture" thinker, and she can always be counted on to do the right thing. I can't speak highly enough about her.

Carren Leavitt (paralegal) was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and quick to respond. She helped me successfully navigate through some tough legal times.

The absolute minimum time to finalize a divorce in Utah is 30–45 days. That's from when you file the divorce papers with the court until the judge signs the papers. This only happens if someone defaults, or if you agree on everything before filing anything with the court. On the other hand, divorces very often take longer than 45 days to finalize. Here are a few scenarios and time lines: 1. If we go to mediation that process takes, on average, between 4 and 6 months. 2. If we go to court for temporary orders then mediation, it will take around 6 months. 3. If we go to trial, it will take at least 1 year, and sometimes much longer.
When parents share 50/50 custody, they assume there won’t be any child support. Only problem is that’s not how it works in real life. Neither parent can negotiate away child support, and everyone’s bound by Utah’s child support guidelines. Child support is straightforward. The more parent-time one parent has in relation to the other (i.e., the farther you are from 50/50 custody), the more child support will be paid. On the flip side, the closer you get to 50/50 custody, the less child support will be paid. At 50/50 custody, child support usually becomes minimal, but there will be something, unless both parents make the same amount. Here’s an example of what I mean: Husband and Wife have 1 child. Husband makes $6,000 gross per month. Wife makes $3500 gross per month. If they shared 50/50 custody, Husband would pay $141 per month in child support. So, sharing 50/50 custody doesn’t mean you won’t pay child support. You very likely will, unless incomes are the same.
How long a divorce takes depends on a few things. If you agree on everything, it usually take about 90 days from the time you file until the judge signs your divorce decree. Those 90 days are about to go down to 30 days, though. If you don't agree on everything and you go to mediation to negotiate things, that process usually takes 4-6 months to complete everything and have the judge sign the divorce papers. If you go to trial, which happens in about 1%-2% of cases, it will take at least 18 months.
Good question, Teresa. Divorce costs are dependent on what needs to be accomplished in your particular situation. Unlike other Utah Divorce attorneys, we offer flat fees, which allows you to know what you will pay upfront. That said, we need to know your unique situation and your unique goals before we can put together a plan. This is what we do during our initial consultation.
