Trevin G. Workman

We were referred to Trevin to help us get an LLC organized for our new business (we were told we might need more than what an online service would offer). We are new to all this, so we called and talked with his secretary about meeting with him to ask some questions and see what would be best for our... situation. We scheduled an appointment for 3pm one day, and had babysitters coordinated and our schedules cleared so we could meet with him. My husband got a call from Trevin at 2pm while he was at work. We don't know if this error was just a matter of convenience for Trevin or a mistake by his secretary, but my husband could hardly hear him let alone focus on their conversation with the noise and demands of his work, and Trevin didn't seem to care that there had been a mistake with the time. They talked briefly about what we potentially needed then ended the conversation. We had multiple questions we had wanted to ask, price being one of them, that we never had the chance to, and we had planned everything out to meet with him for nothing. We then received an email with a link to the draft of the paperwork for our LLC a few days later. We emailed him back and asked what the price would be to move forward with all this, and he replied with an outrageous amount that we couldn't afford. When we asked for clarification on what we were getting having him do it vs. forming our LLC online, he started spotting off jargon left and right, which seemed to us like he was trying to intimidate us into using his services because he knew we wouldn't understand the terms he was throwing out. We replied and said we needed to go a different direction, not only because we couldn't afford him, but because we didn't like how he never seemed to be upfront with us and wasn't a teacher AT ALL. We then received a bill in the mail for $250 for the phone, call, three emails, and creating the draft (which was extremely simple for a sole owner LLC). To us that spoke a lot of his character, are very relieved we decided not to work with him. We understand his time and expertise are valuable, but when the communication is horrible from the get-go and we pay the price for it, there's something wrong with that. And of course, because he's an attorney, we feel like we have no power to fight this, so we will just end up paying him anyway. He might be a decent lawyer for someone who can call him on his crap and has years of business and law experience, but for anyone that is just starting out, he is far from helpful.

Mr. Workman helped with with a complicated real estate transaction. He was always responsive, quick to take action, and good at dealing with some cantankerous parties involved in the transaction. I have dealt with other attorneys in the Logan area on similar cases, but Workman was by far the best. ... I would certainly recommend him to my friends.
