Representing families for claims of wrongful death presents unique challenges and opportunities to help people when things seem to be at their worst. Obtaining accountability on behalf of families is the best thing I could ever do with my law degree.

19 years, 50 cases

Handled more than two hundred personal injury claims. My practice is devoted to solely representing people who have been injured by the negligence and recklessness of others.

19 years, 200 cases

Helped more than 200 individuals protect and preserve their rights against aggressive auto insurance defense teams. Experience includes multiple trials with good jury verdict results when the auto insurance companies refuse to proved fair compensation. Don't settle for an attorney who settles, get competent counsel from an experienced trial lawyer.

Have handled more than 100 medical malpractice cases. It is becoming more and more challenging to represent families and individuals injured by medical negligence in Utah due to some very significant lobbying by the malpractice insurance companies. The economics and and pitfalls of litigating a medical malpractice case make this area of practice a highly specialized and difficult to navigate.

In addition to handling appeals arising out of my own case load, I am often retained as private appellate counsel by other lawyers to provide services on appellate cases including everything from ghost writing briefs all the way to full entry of appearance and representation throughout the appellate process.
