About Jack
Biography
With 30 years of experience in private practice I bring a highly organized, focused approach to resolving construction disputes and contract litigation in mediations, arbitrations and trials. Before attending law school, I served on active duty with the United States Air Force accumulating 2,000+ flight hours as a C-130E/H flight examiner navigator, air operations staff officer, instructor navigator and basic navigator at Dyess AFB, Texas and Yokota AB, Japan. I served in the Air Force Reserve from 1989 - 2007 as a transportation officer, executive officer, squadron commander, special assistant to the 10th Air Force Commander, and Maintenance Group Commander.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"Jack is an excellent lawyer for many reasons. He works hard for his clients and is a true advocate. Many of his clients have worked with him for years and wouldn't think of working with any other attorney. Jack has the ability to analyze legal issues, cut to the bottom line and come up with good solutions. Although the consummate gentleman, he is a tough litigator . If I needed help in his area of expertise, he is the first attorney I would call and I don't hesitate to refer friends and family to him."

Sample of Legal Cases
AFTEC Forming Technologies, LLC v. Permacast, LLC, 342 P.3d 808 (Utah Ct. App. 2015)
Ruling reversed. Permacast's motion did not assert it was entitled to judgment, only that AFTEC had not proved its damages. But AFTEC was not required to produce such evidence before discovery was complete.
Employer's Mutual Casualty Co. v. Bartile Roofs, Inc., 618 F.3d 1153 (10th Cir. 2010)
Personal jurisdiction and venue in Wyoming was proper. The CGL policy did not cover "defective construction;" insurer had no duty to defend. Insurer could not recover costs of defense under a reservation of rights letter.
John Holmes Construction, Inc. v. R.A. McKell Excavating, Inc., 131 P.3d 199 (Utah 2005)
The Utah Supreme Court overruled the lower appellate court and held McKell's work was not for a residence, and McKell could continue to pursue its mechanic's lien rights.
R.A. McKell Excavating, Inc. v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 100 P.3d 1159 (Utah 2004)
Contractor's lien had priority over Bank's deed of trust. The plain language of the statute required "final completion" to trigger the statute of repose. Contractor had not completed all of its contract work; the foreclosure action was timely filed.
