Timpanogos Legal staff attorneys give brief legal advice, provide legal resources and referrals, assist victims of domestic violence, make clinic appointments, and screen clients for our document clinic.
When you call our hotline, you will be immediately connected to a staff attorney, who will ask you a few brief questions. You can then explain your situation and get legal advice and referrals personalized to your unique situation.
Because a large number of our clients are victims of domestic violence, we are unable to call you back unless you tell us it is safe to call you when you leave us a voicemail.
You can also email us at TLCinfo@timplegal.org. Please let us know if it is safe to return your email.

If you do not say that it is safe to return your call, even if you leave a message, we will be unable to call you back.
Our staff are trained victim advocates, and we prioritize your safety. If it is not safe to call you back, let us know when you leave a message. If you tell us it is not safe to call you back, we will not reach out to you. Call us back when you are in a safe place.

We are happy to answer brief questions about your divorce, custody, guardianship, protective order, stalking injunction, or housing case. You do not need to have filed a case yet to talk to our team, but we can only answer questions about cases that are or will be located in Utah.
Questions that involve a lengthy discussion will be referred to our legal advice clinics. Here are some examples of questions we can answer on our hotline:
I'm not sure if my ex is following the parenting plan. Can you help me understand what my Decree says and what my options are?
I'm filling out a protective order request. What protections should I ask for?
My landlord said he's going to evict me because I haven't paid rent after the fridge broke. What can I do to avoid an eviction?
I got this notice in my custody case. What does it mean?
My ex just served me with a divorce petition. Where do I find the forms to file an Answer?
Timpanogos Legal Center helps people who are representing themselves in their case. This means we won't "take your case" or represent you in court. We would love to provide you with legal advice and information to help you navigate the civil legal system. Our attorneys can also refer you to other resources if you still want to find an attorney to represent you.
Yes, we are still able to take your call even if a protective order or stalking injunction has been entered against you.
