"Okay I’m going to assume if you’re reading this that you need help, that you are hoping for some results in your current situation…well look no further because you’ve come to the right place! My attorney Alyssa Beard was amazing 10 out of 5 starts definitely very pleased with her and her team (CR) I needed help and i needed it fast and Alyssa did just that. I got full custody of my son, I was able to keep my son when his mother wanted to take him back away from me. Their pricing is very affordable and they are amazing at communication; Celeste (her assistant) was always there for my questions and concerns and made sure either her or Alyssa made contact with me that very same day! So like I said if you are in need of an attorney get ahold of Intermountain Legal you won’t regret it! I will for sure be recommending family n friends if the need ever arises!- Gio C"

"Clark was fantastic! He put me at ease and was very prompt with replies to my questions about the case. His hard work and attention to detail resulted in a plea in abeyance offer during the preliminary hearing! I would highly recommend Intermountain Legal to anyone that is in need of legal counsel."
