About Kevin
Biography
Kevin Swenson was raised in Bountiful, Utah, and is a co-founding partner of Swenson & Shelley. After graduating from Bountiful High School, Kevin attended business school at Westminster College. While in college, Kevin owned and ran a sign company and worked as an ambulance driver and firefighter. Kevin loved his work in the emergency medical arena. His career as a personal injury attorney allows Kevin to continue devoting his time to assisting injured people.
Kevin graduated from law school at the University of Utah and worked as a defense attorney for insurance companies. Through that experience, he learned how insurance companies work, how they think, and how they attack a claim. In 2010, Kevin “changed camps” and switched to representing injured individuals in his community rather than the multi-billion dollar insurance companies that fight those claims of those individuals.
He now feels a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment by assisting people injured by the wrongful acts of others. Understanding the reluctance of insurance companies to pay claims and the strategies they use to get out of paying claims, Kevin can now use that first-hand knowledge to fight for injured parties and collect the money rightfully due to them from insurance companies.
Kevin involved himself in thousands of lawsuits for more than 30 years as an attorney, many of which have gone to a jury verdict. Kevin is passionate about what he does, devoting time to helping individuals get the medical care they need, and he enjoys seeing his clients heal and move on from their injuries.
Kevin enjoys the outdoors, family, and travel when he isn't working.
