Top best L Lawyers in ZIP 84111 | 1260 available

I  practice in the areas of Business and Corporate Governance, Trademark and Copyright, Cybersecurity, Media law, Nonprofit law, Technology law, and Real Estate. I represent and advise clients in the areas of high tech, construction, healthcare, non-profit, the arts, advertising, technology, publishing, hospitality, and retail, among others. I have negotiated, drafted, reviewed, and revised scores of business and personal contracts and related agreements, including corporate and LLC documents, purchase contracts, assignments, commercial leases, HOA documents, technology licenses, IP agreements, service contracts, and loan documents, among many others. As a former communications professional, I focus on accessibility and providing exceptional personalized service to each client.. I began my career as a journalist and magazine editor.  As such, I had the opportunity to ask a lot of questions.  That background provides me with invaluable experience in carefully listening to clients as a means of seeking to understand their issues. I have also been a small business owner, which gives me insights into the issues entrepreneurs face as they attempt to juggle multiple responsibilities, including management, employee relations, intellectual property and trade secrets, and regulatory requirements.. I seek  to collaborate with clients and remain in close contact as we undertake a project.  By working together, we can effectively identify issues and weigh possible solutions. I have found that when a client is fully informed and has an opportunity to consult with his or or her lawyer, some of the anxiety  that the legal system inspires dissipates and problems seem less overwhelming. I'm also a firm believer in the old adage that the only stupid question is the one left unasked.. My hobbies include hiking and backpacking with my wife, daughter, and two golden retrievers, collecting first edition books about the Southwest, and playing bluegrass music on the guitar and dobro.

In the last 30+ years, I have successfully tried over 145 jury trials and have a 98% win record to date. I have spent much of my career focusing on large cases across diverse areas of practice including business litigation (the Firm's most active trial practice group), personal injury, insurance law, products liability and healthcare.

In my practice I care about my clients and help them through the difficult time of divorce.  My practice is full service, ranging from first time divorce, to modifications, prenuptial agreements, and issues regarding child custody.  I am also familiar with employment law, specializing in highly compensated individuals.

If I have learned one thing since I began my legal career over 20 years ago, it is that people seek personalized solutions for their families.  Whether helping resolve a complex family law matter or putting together an estate plan to create a more certain future, I help my clients achieve their goals and honor their values.  As a fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, I am recognized as one of the best family lawyers in the nation.  Let me put my experience to work for you and your family.. Experience Matters. Family law has been the central part of my practice since day one and along the way, I have figured out what works and what does not.  With every step taken toward the courthouse, options become more limited.  I prefer to use mediation and collaborative law to address even the most complex family law matters because this allows me to find a creative solution for my clients.  Sometimes going to court is necessary and as an experienced litigator, I take a firm yet compassionate approach because judges hate theatrics and family relationships will long outlast litigation.. In addition to divorce and separation matters, I also assist clients with drafting and reviewing premarital agreements and cohabitation agreements.. Planning a Secure Future. A few years ago I added estate planning to my practice because I discovered that very few people have an estate plan but everyone needs one.  Perhaps it's because no one likes to think about death, the possibility of a serious, debilitating illness, or leaving loved ones behind is why many people put off estate planning.  I offer common sense solutions tailored to client's needs and, most importantly, peace of mind once the estate plan is in order.  Unlike some attorneys who only draft documents and leave you to figure out the rest, I walk you through every step of the planning process.  I assist clients with wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health care directives.  All of my estate planning work is performed on a fixed fee basis.  No more excuses!. Our firm's main office is in downtown Salt Lake City and we have a branch office in Park City where I also meet with clients upon request.

I'm an aggressive criminal defense attorney with experience in State and Federal Court. I devoted my entire law school career, both in the classroom and in the courtroom, to learning criminal defense law. While in law school,  I spent two and a half years working for some of the most prominent criminal defense attorneys in the State of Utah.. Concentrating exclusively on criminal defense law enables me to provide my clients with the highest quality representation and aggressively defend their rights.

I work exclusively to defend physicians and hospitals in medical negligence civil litigation. I also specialize in health care regulation, such as HIPAA and the ACA.

I started Common Law after leaving a large Salt Lake firm. My goal is to provide effective and efficient expertise in the resolution of tax and financial disputes. I have done my job when I have reduced the stress of dealing with the government and the legal system, and I have helped you find a resolution that works for you.. I’ve been practicing law for over twenty years. I have litigated numerous cases at city, county, and state tax agencies, at all of the IRS administrative levels, and at the trial court level in both the state and federal courts of Utah, courts in other states, and the United States Tax Court.. I also have substantial appellate court experience, including before the Utah Court of Appeals, the Utah Supreme Court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, and the United States Tax Court.. Although my emphasis is tax, I have litigated cases in numerous commercial areas of law, including real estate disputes, insurance coverage disputes, corporate and contract disputes, and financial transaction disputes.. I am admitted to practice before all Utah State Courts, the U.S. District Court for Utah, the U.S. Tax Court, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court. I earned an LLM in Tax from Georgetown University and my law degree from the University of Utah. I have been recognized in 2017-2021 as one of the Best Lawyers in America in the area of Commercial Litigation and Tax Law by Best Lawyers.. In my free time, I’m a telemark skier, a trail runner, and a dad with two kids and a Siamese cat.

I served as a Small Claims Judge Pro Tempore from 2012 to 2018. I performed this service 2-3 times per month in the Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County Justice Courts. I have practiced in the areas of family law, Hague Convention child abduction cases, criminal defense, tax controversies, and bankruptcy during the course of my career. I have tried hundreds of cases to verdict, and am a very experienced trial and appellate lawyer.. I keep abreast of changes in the law by attending continuing legal education courses inall four areas of law on a regular basis. I have appeared before judges and hearing commissioners throughout the State of Utah since 1999. I became licensed to practice law in the District of Columbia in 1991, and practiced law there for six years.  I was a member of the Virginia State Bar from 1997-2010.  I am also a member of the American Bar Association's Family Law and International Law Sections.. Regarding family law, I have been a member of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts for several years. This organization consists of clinical psychologists and family law attorneys and meets annually several times to discuss the best practice to deal with family law issues. I have attended several of their continuing legal education courses and regularly review their quarterly publications. I have represented scores of clients with family law matters in Utah since 1999. I have served as a private guardian ad litem in Utah. I also served as a private guardian ad litem in Washington, DC, for approximately six years.. Regarding Hague Convention child abduction cases, I have represented clients in both State and federal court on this kind of case.  The cases move quickly, and if there is a valid defense, a party can schedule a trial also very quickly.  I have found that because State court judges have more experience in child custody matters generally, the State Court is a better forum to bring these kinds of cases.  A knowledge of international law is not needed when the case is filed in the United States.. Regrading criminal law, I was appointed counsel through the federal Criminal Justice Act in Washington, DC for approximately six years, and then in Utah for approximately five years. I have represented criminal defendants in serious cases like murder, armed carjacking, distribution of controlled substances, and sexual molestation of a minor – as well as various kinds of misdemeanor charges.

I have approximately 20 published appellate opinioins, have petitioned the United States Supreme Court for the issuance of a writ of certiorari seven times, and have argued before the U.S. Tenth Circuit in Denver six times.. Regarding tax law, I worked for the IRS for approximately ten years either as a Revenue Officer, a Congressional Liaison, or as an Assistant District Counsel. I have reviewed several offers in compromise, reviewed IRS audits, and represented IRS before the US Tax Court. As a revenue officer, I was assigned scores of collection cases, and became intimately aware of the collection process – including how offers and compromises are prepared and accepted.. I believe that being well versed in these areas of law makes me a more effective advocate, counselor, and negotiator for my clients. Frequently issues arise in one are of law which involve other areas of law.. I offer a thirty minute free consultation. Please give me a call to discuss your case. I work in the Wells Fargo Building downtown and have free parking validation. Thanks.

I love my career as a Criminal Defense Attorney.  Every day, I get to defend our Constitutional rights against an excessively punitive and discriminatory criminal "justice" system.  In our criminal "justice" system, many people are wrongfully accused, over-charged, over-punished, or simply not afforded basic human respect.  I endeavor to help my clients navigate this system.  Sometimes this requires me to show a Jury why my client is wrongfully accused.  Sometimes this requires me to show a Judge why a search, seizure, or interrogation, violated our Constitution. Sometimes this requires me to work with a Prosecutor to reach a fair and just resolution in a case.  I look forward to performing these tasks and others in order to most effectively serve the people whom I represent.. Prior to opening my own practice, I worked at the firm of Langford-Ramos and its predecessor, Langford Legal.  I also interned at the Salt Lake Legal Defender's Association, at the Utah Court of Appeals, and at the Hill Air Force Base Office of Legal Counsel.  I currently sit on the Utah State Bar's Board for the Young Lawyer's Division as the Chair of a program that provides free representation to people facing eviction and as a Committee Member for a program that provides free legal advice to Veterans.  I have been recognized as the 2018 Pro Bono Attorney of the Year and continue to volunteer through the Utah State and Federal Courts..

I've represented individuals charged with drug distribution, drug possession, money laundering, kidnapping, bank fraud, wire fraud, rape, murder, aggravated identity fraud, forcible sexual abuse, child pornography, dui, bank robbery, illegal reentry, immigration fraud, aggravated assault, among others.. I have witnessed the frustrations that individuals experience as they slowly make their way through the criminal justice system.

My goal is to become the most effective advocate I can for the accused.

I have spent over 2 decades defending health care providers, primarily physicians. My client include clinics, hospitals, nursing homes as well as physicians of all specialities.. I have focused much of my practice defending trucking companies and commercial vehicle operators ranging from single owner operator to large companies.

I have over 23 years of experience in patent prosecution and counseling. I counsel clients on patent and trademark portfolio development and management, intellectual property litigation, intellectual property licensing, and intellectual property due diligence. My clients span a number of different industries, including medical devices, health care, life sciences, university research and development, energy, mining, and aerospace. A significant part of my practice includes representing clients from outside of the United States before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, including clients from Europe, China, Japan, Korea, and Israel.. Clients trust my ability to obtain patents that are enforceable against competitors. U.S. patents in the medical device field that I obtained have been successfully asserted at the district court level to obtain a multimillion-dollar judgement. U.S. patents in the superabrasive materials technology area that I obtained have been enforced at the U.S. International Trade Commission.. Clients also trust my counseling on patent infringement and validity issues.

I have also performed due diligence investigations for investors and companies considering acquiring large patent portfolios..

Some examples of specific technologies I have worked with include invasive and external urinary catheters, ureteral and vascular stents, thrombectomy devices, bone implants, diagnostic devices, cardiovascular devices, and superelastic and shape memory alloys; polycrystalline diamond cutting elements and bearings; physical and process metallurgy; chemical compositions and processes; composite materials; food science and technology; osmosis systems; and lasers, fiber optics, photodetectors, and other photonic devices.. Before practicing law, I gained practical engineering experience as a materials engineer and fracture mechanics specialist at a large aerospace corporation that designed solid-fuel rocket motors.

I have been practicing law since 1993, in pratically all areas from divorce and paternity, modifications, criminal defense, personal injury, probate, general civil litigation, and the llke.  As a young  lawyer, I started out taking any case that would get me in front of a jury.  I knew I wanted to be a trial lawyer.  I wanted to be comfortable in the court room.  So, I tried all manner of criminal cases, civil contract cases, and personal injury cases.  I started my law practice in Maine.  After 10 years, I had twin daughters and moved to Salt Lake City, Utah.  Since that time, my practice has focused on divorce, paternity and family law, and some criminal and civil law.  I now have a son as well.  My husband and I live with our three children and three dogs in Park City, Utah. We love to ski, hike, play baseball, softball, soccer, and any other sport that involves the outdoors.  I have my own practice now, having practiced in small firms to large firms over the years.  I find my joy in my family, and in helping my clients through some of the worst times of their life.  The best part is the fact that they move through a process,  and hopfully, at the end, continue to move forward in a more positive way.  I have watched a spouse, mother or father, collapesed by divorce or separation, find love again, connect with their children again, and find their own joy again.  I am grateful for those clients that stay in touch with me so I can share in their happiness.

I have been licensed to practice law in Utah and Idaho for 18 years. I work in a small law firm staffed with some of my closest friends. We enjoy our work, care about our clients and have fun supporting each other and discussing our cases. Most clients need a fast, effective, economical result. However, we at Hobbs & Olson also relish the opportunity to go to trial. My last jury trial was February 4, 2011. Lincoln W. Hobbs and I have practiced law together continuously since 1997.

I believe that everybody deserves to be treated like they are the only client I have. I strive to provide a personal and in depth legal defense that is both aggressive and strategic. I have worked hard to gain the respect of colleagues whether they be fellow defense attorneys, state's attorneys or judges and I rely on those relationships, along with a thorough knowledge of the law and an aggressive and strategic defensive strategy, to find the best results in every case.

I became an attorney to help others transform complex business, estate, or dispute issues into practical and straightforward solutions. I represent clients in estate planning which might include trusts, wills, powers of attorney, and other estate planning documents. I also counsel clients in probate and trust administration matters.

I became a lawyer because I love working with people, especially in times of need.  I am devoted to my clients, the practice of law, and to serving my community.  I focus primarliy on criminal defense but also have experience in family law and other civil matters.
