Call 801-528-9357Why Box Elder County Chooses Richards & Richards
Choosing a firm is mostly about what happens after you sign. Here is what we hold ourselves to.
1
You Get a Plan Before You Pay a Retainer
The consultation ends with a plain-English summary of where you stand, what we would do about it, and what that costs. You decide afterwards, not before.
2
One Attorney, One Point of Contact
The attorney on your case handles your case. You are not shuffled between five lawyers or handed to a paralegal who cannot make decisions. When you call, you reach the person who knows your file.
3
We Come to You
Virtual and in-home consultations are routine here. If getting to the Ogden office is hard, because of distance, mobility, or a spouse who cannot travel, we come to you instead.
4
We Are Transparent About Costs
You get the fee arrangement in writing before any work starts: a flat fee where the work allows one, an hourly rate against a written estimate where it does not. Either way you see the number first, and there are no surprise invoices.
5
Clear Communication, Always
We answer calls and emails within 24 business hours. When something significant happens on your case, you hear it from a person, not a form letter. We explain what it means and what happens next.
6
A Family Firm Since 1988
Two generations of Ogden-raised attorneys. We are invested in this community, and we built this firm on the principle that you are not just a case number.
Ready to talk it through? A one-hour consultation is $100, credited to your retainer if we take your case.

I cannot say enough good things about Kevin and his team. Going through a high-conflict divorce and custody case has been one of the most stressful and emotionally draining experiences of my life, and Kevin has been a steady source of guidance, support, and reassurance throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, Kevin took the time to explain every step of the process, answer my questions, and help me understand what to expect. When I felt overwhelmed, anxious, or uncertain, he helped keep me grounded and focused on the bigger picture. His calm and confident approach gave me peace of mind during some of the most difficult moments of my case…Ashley N.
★★★★★
Kevin Richards has represented me for several years through multiple complex cases, including an ex parte TRO, a custody modification, and a DCFS case. These situations were extremely stressful and involved my children, and having Kevin in my corner made all the difference. He is knowledgeable, strategic, and a strong advocate for his clients. He takes the time to understand the details of your case and makes sure you understand your options. His experience with family law and DCFS matters was invaluable…Cassie R.

Jaime helped me with my trust, medical directive and power of attorney. It was easy, quick and thorough. I had a good experience. I had put it off for far too long, thinking it would be difficult. I should have done it sooner. Peace of mind is a good thing.Diana H.
★★★★★
Jaime wrote two wills for us, one a special needs will, tailored precisely to our needs. The work was excellent, and Jaime was extremely courteous, personable, and professional. He made the effort to come to us when we could not come to him.Sylvia P.

Request a Consultation →Got Questions? We Have the Answers.
Short answers to what people in the county actually ask before they call.
- Do you take cases in Box Elder County?
- Yes. We take family law, criminal defense, immigration and estate planning matters from across Box Elder County and the rest of northern Utah, and we will tell you at the consultation if yours is something we should not handle.
- Which court will my case be heard in?
- Cases from Box Elder County are heard in Utah's 1st Judicial District. Which courthouse and which judge depends on the type of case and where you live, and we will confirm that for your situation rather than have you guess.
- What does it cost?
- A consultation is $100 for a full hour, credited to your retainer if we take the case. Estate planning runs on flat fees quoted in writing. Litigation runs hourly against a written estimate. Either way you see the number before any work starts.
- Do I have to travel to Ogden?
- Usually not. Our office is on Monroe Boulevard in Ogden, but we do virtual consultations as a matter of routine and in-home appointments for estate planning clients who cannot easily travel.
- How long will my case take?
- It depends on the case, and anyone who answers that precisely before reading your file is guessing. What we will do is tell you the realistic range at the consultation, and tell you when something changes it.
General information about Utah law, not legal advice, and reading it does not create an attorney-client relationship. Every case turns on its own facts.
Still have a question about your own situation? That is what the consultation is for. One hour, $100, credited to your retainer if we take your case.
