High Fees for simple OrderTo Show Cause

Was referred to Trout to handle a very simple order to show cause. Fee churning in my opinion with two attorneys doing the work of one. Should have been a bill for no more than $10,000 in my opinion and I received a bill for $21,000 for a very basic order to show cause. When I questioned them about ...the large bill, they agreed to discount 10% but $19,000 is still about double what this should have cost in my opinion.

Highest Accolades.

Kim Trout is an outstanding attorney. He worked tirelessly with us on our case for ten tough months. He was amazingly knowledgeable, calm and supportive. He and his paralegal extraordinaire, Kevin, were patient, thorough and professional. We have nothing but the highest praise for this remarkable leg...al team.

Recommendation for Kim Trout, Esq.

I work with a broad spectrum of accomplished attorneys: litigators, transactional specialists, et. al. Kim represents the apex of both personal and professional competency in that elite group. He is genuinely personable and focused on the benefits to others he provides. I have been with him in stress...ful situations and have checked my own frustrations because of the even-keeled emotional and intellectual leadership he provides. He is-as the saying goes-about the last person you want as Opposing Counsel, and it is my honor to recommend him both personally and professionally.

Kim = Win

The only mistake that has ever been made with regards to Trout Law's service is not getting them involved earlier. With that, I'm not talking only in times of what may be seen as, "trouble", I'm speaking to any business start or evolution that occurs in my business ventures where I want to go in with... as much wisdom as possible for the benefit of all parties involved.

Construction Claim

Kim is the best construction lawyer in the state of Idaho. He helped us with several issues over the years. I would recommend him highly for any legal issue involving construction issues. He knows his stuff and is aggressive in his tactics. You won't have to spend a lot of time explaining issues to ...Kim. He's a quick learn. Kim knows the language of construction. Know how to achieve positive results!

Construction and development lawyer | Jan 28

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Kim and I have worked together on construction matters for about 14 years. He is smart, energetic, and effective. He thinks through a case creatively. At each step he prepares thoroughly. In the courtroom and depositions he is a fierce and fearless advocate but also principled and civil. I am impressed with his grasp of construction and engineering concepts, even complex ones. While I am most familiar with his litigation skills, I know him to have a breadth of experience, capacities, and interests in the law and in business, sports, and charitable endeavors. Please see my endorsements of him in other practice areas."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
