Superior Judgment and Counsel

I have sought counsel from Travis on numerous occasions, and he has represented me in legal matters on a couple of occasions. When I have sought counsel from Travis, he has frequently given me counsel about how to deal with a matter without legal action or running up legal fees; that is, he's given ...me insights on ways to handle something without requiring his services. This requires sound judgment, perspective, and looking out for our company's interests instead of his own. He has certainly passed "The Bill O'Reilly Test" -- he was looking out for us. As the plaintiff in a $357MM case, when he took over my case he wrote an excellent complaint, 10X better than my previous attorney: it was clear, concise, cited the numerous grounds, and wrapped it up in a manner so the defendant knew we were serious. Often he takes a non-legal approach: That is, lawyers are trained to find the problem in every solution, while businessmen are trained to find the solution to every problem. So, Travis often takes a businessman's approach, finding solutions and other ways of looking at things. His sound judgment has been sought on matters that deal with contract law; regulatory law; employment law; civil/Constitutional rights; administrative law; patent, trademark, and copyright law; financial services law; and others. If he hasn't known the answer right off, he will tell me so and that he'll research it rather than faking it. He responds to my calls. He listens before jumping in with his answers. He will remind you that a lawyer is only as good as the questions you ask him, and if you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer... yet often laymen don't even know the questions to ask. Here's where most lawyers will send you on your way, but Travis will dissect an issue and make sure you're covering all perspectives. The only way Travis could be more helpful would be if he were our own in-house general counsel.

General practice lawyer | Oct 11

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"As an attorney, Travis is one of the easiest individuals I have worked with. He is very clear thinking and direct. He has been very helpful and knowledgeable when discussing various legal topics. Attorneys tend to have other "go to" attorneys when they need to refer someone to another attorney, due to conflict, location, etc. That "go to" attorney needs to be reputable, or it reflects poorly on the referring attorney. Travis has been been one of a few select "go to" attorneys that I have referred others to, knowing that he will provide a professional service in a zealous manner."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2025.

Public Reprimand issued in UT, 2025

updated on 07/31/2025

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
