An attorney's fee must be reasonable, according to Rule 1.5 of the Utah Standards of Professional Conduct, that handles the subject of fees. A lawyer "must not form an agreement for, charge, or collect an exorbitant fee or an unreasonable sum for costs," according to Rule 1.5(a). So, when deciding if a fee is reasonable attorneys need to consider factors such as the amount and effort needed. The price charged compared to legal services in the nearby area. The client's or the situation's time constraints; the nature and scope of the professional relationship with the client etc. The amount of time and effort needed to litigate the case, the uniqueness and complexity of the legal issues at hand, and the expertise needed to provide the legal service are all factors that may support the charge being reasonable. To identify which animal killed the cow in this instance, sophisticated forensic methods and DNA testing may be required, which could take a lot of time and knowledge. It is important to remember that Campbell is a rancher, he may have a below average salary. Snow therefore must make sure that Campbell's representation is not financially burdened by the fee they agreed upon and that pursuing his claims won't put an excessive strain on him. It is unlikely that Snow's charge will contravene the Utah Code of Professional Responsibility provided that it is reasonable and does not place an undue financial strain on Campbell
