Trust Lawyers for Idaho

Helping small business owners meet their legal needs.

I'm a business and estate planning attorney with more 20 years of experience. I started in private practice and as a prosecutor, then spent years as in-house counsel for an international oil and gas company. Today I run Flex Legal Services in Orem, Utah, where I draft and negotiate contracts, handle business transactions, and serve as fractional general counsel for companies that want steady legal guidance without a full-time hire. I also help families put practical estate plans in place. I'm licensed in Utah, and I speak English and Spanish.

I am an employment law attorney specializing in helping companies navigate the complexities of the workplace. From drafting employment contracts and conducting investigations into discrimination and harassment claims, to responding to EEOC charges and reviewing handbooks and policies for legal compliance, I offer comprehensive support to help businesses thrive while minimizing risk.

As an entrepreneur at heart, I enjoy working with business owners and executives on a variety of corporate matters, including mergers and acquisitions, corporate financing, corporate governance, public and private securities offerings, privacy regulation and early-stage corporate matters including formation. As a lawyer and business professional, I understand the value of providing personal service and focused legal answers to clients navigating a rapidly changing regulatory environment. Whether in Aerospace, Consumer Goods, or Technology, I find great success in work collaboratively with clients to strategical structure their business or implementing strategic growth-oriented financing opportunities.

Have experience in contract, family law, municipality work, criminal defense, litigation, some wills and estates as well. Been practicing law for over 22 years.

In my thirteen years of practice, I've had the opportunity to argue cases in state, federal, and tribal courts; in subjects as diverse as gaming, land tenure, water rights, treaty rights, finance, employment, criminal defense, conflict of laws, and tort (among others). But the real value I brought my clients came through avoiding litigation, fostering relationships, and developing long-term strategies.
