Attorney Information
Overview
A native of Boise, Rory received his undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Idaho. Strongly influenced by the character of Atticus Finch, Rory first became interested in the law after reading Harper Lee's, "To Kill a Mockingbird." His legal career began in 1982 as a law clerk to the legendary United States Federal District Judge Raymond C. McNichols. His 15 month experience clerking in the federal courts exposed Rory to the best lawyers in Idaho and the West practicing in a wide variety of cases.
In 1996, after serving for 14 years as an associate and partner in the Boise firm of Clemens, Cosho and Humphrey, Rory co-founded the firm now known as Jones Williams Fuhrman Gourley, P.A. Idealistically, and not unlike Atticus Finch, Rory built his practice around the principle of providing sound legal advice to family, friends, and their businesses.
Rory practiced in a wide range of litigation matters. He has successfully tried to verdict multiple cases involving breaches of contract, fraud and breaches of fiduciary duty, employment-related claims for both employees and employers, including claims of discrimination, wrongful termination and breach of contractual commitments, anti-trust violations, securities fraud, and business break-ups, including partnerships, corporations, and LLCs.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
