• How much does it cost to hire Kent for a elder law case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Kent walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Kent offer a free consultation?

• How long do elder law cases in Utah typically take?

  Simple elder law matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Kent gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Kent take my case if I'm outside Salt Lake City?

  Kent is licensed in Utah. Matters governed by Utah law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Kent will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Kent?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Kent will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.
