I have nothing but good things to say about Howard Lewis and Petersen. I know Tyler Raymond and Ken Parkinson personally and not only are they both really good attorneys but they are both outstanding individuals.
Place rating: 1
Provo, UT
I hired Mr. Ken Parkinson with Howard, Lewis, & Peterson to resolve a contractual dispute with a former employer. Mr. Parkinson quoted $ 3,000 to initiate the process — I paid Mr. Parkinson a $ 1,500 retainer, but within the next 2 – 3 weeks resolved the dispute myself with no additional assistance from Mr. Parkinson.
Mr. Parkinson consulted with me for 1.5 hours on the case, wrote a short one-​page letter, attempted three telephone calls but was unable to contact opposing counsel, and performed no additional work; his hourly fee as quoted is $ 200/​hour.
According to the fee schedule presented to me by Mr. Parkinson’s office, I should be refunded $ 1,000 of the original retainer paid to Mr. Parkinson. Mr. Parkinson instead is demanding $ 1,500 in addition to the $ 1,500 already paid to his office. Mr. Parkinson is attempting to extort funds from me by billing me at the rate of over $ 1,000.00 per hour, contrary to his stated hourly fee schedule.
Although I suggest the case be submitted to the Utah State Bar, Fee Dispute Office for arbitration, Mr. Parkinson disregarded my suggestion and instead chose the mean-​spirited and unethical path of filing negative credit reports.
SUMMARY
Mr. Parkinson is attempting to extort funds from me, and has injured me by submitted negative credit reports to Experian and other credit rating agencies on my behalf, as well as threatened other legal action.
While honest and hard-​working attorneys are undoubtedly employed at Howard, Lewis, and Peterson, Mr. Parkinson is not one of them. His greed, hubris, and mean-​spirited character in submitting negative credit reports as a means to extort inflated fees from clients, are in violation of codes of conduct as established by the Utah State Bar Association, specifically; Utah State Bar Code, Rules of Judicial Administration; Chapter 13, Client Lawyer Relationship, Section 1.5 Fees. I intend to file an official complaint with the Utah State Bar Association, and sue for damages caused by the negative reports submitted to Credit Bureaus.
It is time to put a stop to ‘legal extortion’ as practiced by so many in the legal profession here in the State of Utah, and a good way to do so is by avoiding Ken Parkinson, Attorney at Law.
