Top Best Family Lawyers | 17717 Available

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.
