What is Fractional General Counsel?

Using Fractional General Counsel is a flexible, cost-effective solution for businesses and nonprofits who need ongoing legal support, without the expense of a full-time, in-house attorney.

Dalton Law offers fractional general counsel services, ensuring your organization has regular access to experienced legal counsel while keeping costs manageable. While fractional attorney serve multiple clients, your organization receives a dedicated number of hours per month for legal guidance, risk management, and compliance oversight. Additional services beyond the agreed-upon hours can be arranged at a pre-determined rate.

I grew up in southern Idaho but have lived in every part of the Gem State. Born in Twin Falls, I graduated from Jerome High School before moving to Moscow to study civil engineering at the University of Idaho. After graduation, I took a job in Boise as Governor Dirk Kempthorne's Special Assistant and Speechwriter. After Law School and a few years at a big law firm in Dallas, TX, I moved to Pocatello while clerking for Judge N. Randy Smith on the 9th Circuit. I've now made my home in Idaho Falls for the past 15 years.
