I wanted a change. As an avid reader, so many of the historical figures I admired were lawyers: Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, and Abraham Lincoln. I found their life pursuits interesting and realized that law could be a good foundation for many career pursuits.”. Rick’s practice emphasizes commercial litigation, construction law, contracts, real estate, liens, family law, and equine law. He is experienced in civil trials, mediation, arbitration, and appeals before the Utah Court of Appeals and Utah Supreme Court, covering a broad spectrum of issues..

Rick appreciates the professional relationships he’s forged as a lawyer—serving numerous clients over many years—and counts many of his clients among his friends.. “Folks often think law work is mostly paperwork and courtroom battles… But so much of the work I do in family and construction law is facilitated by the hard work of professional mediators. I am so thankful for the many talented mediators I work with and for their support in finding resolution to the important issues my clients bring to me.”. When Rick isn’t working, you’ll find him riding horses, camping, or hiking. Rick and his wife have three children.
