Utah Law on Call

What is Utah Law on Call?

Law on Call is the first nonlawyer-owned law firm in the United States, licensed to practice law in Utah by the Utah Supreme Court. Law on Call can do what traditional law firms can do, but we can do it the Northwest way—with an emphasis on easy access, speed, great customer service, and crazy-low prices.

Our Utah Law on Call service is possible because of the new Utah Legal Sandbox. The Utah Sandbox is an initiative in the State of Utah that seeks to open up the market for legal services to innovative companies like ours. It’s called a “sandbox” because it’s a place to “play” (i.e. experiment) under the close watch of the Utah Supreme Court’s Office of Legal Services Innovation.

So what’s our experiment at Law on Call? To be the go-to service for Utah businesses and Utah residents whenever they have legal questions they need answered—and to provide the fastest, cheapest Utah legal services you’ll find anywhere.

Plus, we offer a 100% money-back guarantee if we do legal work for you and you aren’t satisfied.

Is Utah Law on Call Like a Call Center Staffed by Lawyers?

Basically, yes (cool, isn’t it?). We hired our lawyers to take your calls, give legal advice, and do legal work if you need it—nothing else. That’s why our law firm is called Law on Call.

Don’t worry. Our team of Utah lawyers is well-compensated for their time and expertise. It’s just that they’re more like rock stars than they are like traditional lawyers. They bring their talent to the big show, but they don’t have to bother with the sound system, the smoke machine, crowd control—what have you.

Our lawyers basically just walk on the legal stage every day and don’t leave until the gathering crowd gets their money’s worth.

Getting Started with Utah Law on Call

To get started with Utah Law on Call, the process is simple:

1. If you’re a new Utah client, hire us to be your Utah registered agent, or hire us to form your Utah LLC or Utah corporation.
   • If you’re an existing Utah client, simply add Law on Call service in your online account. (As far as this list goes, you can skip ahead to step 3.) If you don’t have or need business formation or registered agent service, create a free account with Northwest, then add Law on Call service in the client portal.
2. On the sign-up form, add our Law on Call service for $9 a month. (Your first two months are free!)
3. Once your order gets processed, call and talk to one of our licensed Utah lawyers who will provide legal advice. (That’s right, no receptionists and no paralegals!)
4. Call back as often as you need to. Your $9 a month subscription fee includes UNLIMITED calls.
5. If it’s determined that you need full-blown legal work done, not just advice, you can then hire our team of Utah lawyers to get it done for you fast, the right way, and at undreamed-of prices.

If you don’t like waiting, you can talk to a different Utah lawyer each time (just whoever is available when you call). Or, you can request a specific lawyer you’ve talked to before, get in the queue, and wait for a prompt callback when your preferred lawyer is free.

What If I Need Legal Work Done in Utah?

That’s pretty simple too. Here’s how it works:

1. In your free client account, select the legal service categories and sub-categories that apply to your situation.
2. You have the option to upload documents (such as a developing lease agreement) relevant to the legal work you need done.
3. Our lawyers will take a look at your legal needs and determine a number of expected hours (the amount of work you’ll be billed for). That way, you’ll know your likely costs in advance.
4. Then, select the years of experience you prefer for your Utah attorney:
   10+ years = $250/hour
   7-10 years = $200/hour
   3-7 years = $150/hour
   1-3 years = $99/hour
5. Lastly, choose the amount of time you’d like to authorize your attorney to work (either no time limit or a cap on the number of hours they’ll work).

What Types of Legal Work Can Utah Law on Call Do?

At present, our firm can do legal work in Utah in the following legal service categories:

1. Business (i.e. corporate and LLC development, employment, contracts, trademarks, and general business advice)
2. End of life planning (i.e. wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advanced directives)
3. Rental housing (i.e. lease agreements and housing discrimination)
4. Real estate (i.e. purchase and sale agreements, contracts, and real property issues)

If you aren’t sure how or if your legal needs fit into our categories, don’t fret. The legal world is complicated, and the idea of “legal categories” is no less complicated. Just give us a call and we’ll help you out.

Why Aren’t Traditional Law Firms Like Law on Call?

Because they can’t be or don’t want to be (probably a mix of both). Traditional law firms are lawyer-owned partnerships, which means the lawyers working there can’t just focus on practicing law. The traditional law firm partner is also involved in running the business, and every lawyer’s prestige at the law firm hinges on generating as many billable hours as they can. (And if you want to get a direct line to a lawyer right away—forget it.)

Things are just different at Law on Call. Our Utah lawyers don’t give give a hoot about “billable hours.” Their salaries are based on offering topnotch legal advice and doing stellar legal work. They get paid more based on their customers’ satisfaction—not based on how many billable hours they generate for the firm.

Plus, our Utah lawyers get to leave running our law firm to our officers, managers, accountants, marketing specialists, and so on. This frees up our lawyers up to do what they do best—giving sound legal advice and doing awesome legal work.

That’s doing business the right way.
