Steve Christensen

Firm: CHRISTENSEN LAW, Counselors and Practitioners
261 E Broadway , Salt Lake City , Utah 84111
Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation
Solving the important problems of my clients requires all 28 years of my experience, careful research and creative analysis. Understanding a client's goals helps me prioritize my work. Then I give clients an accurate assessment of their case. Third, I want to get all of the information I need to help them achieve their goals. To help me accomplish these three goals, I need clients to keep good records and to bring the records they have for my review. I enjoy meeting with clients to discuss potential solutions to their problems. I want clients to feel welcome and well served at our firm's office. I take time to give them a list of options to solve their problems and to help them understand what a court will do in a case like theirs. When clients cannot solve their problems without court intervention, I want to find the most effective way to get the relief the client needs. I strive to have a close working relationship with the client not only to make my representation more efficient and effective, but also to help me understand how the client wants to handle the important situations and decisions in the litigation process. Litigation needs to be focused on the specific relief the client wants.. Outside of the office I have had a long tenure working on a local and district level with the Boy Scouts of America and three of our sons and I have our Woodbadge beads. I have also volunteered in the Salt Lake public schools on various committees. I enjoy playing tennis with my wife and practicing musical instruments with my children. Going to and from the office I often listen to recorded literary works or college lectures.

Spencer Ricks

Firm: Carr Woodall
1309 W. South Jordan Parkway , South Jordan , Utah 84095
Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation
Mr. Ricks focuses primarily on all family law-related issues. He appears in Court several times a week on behalf of his clients on all types of family law matters. While he enjoys the courtroom, he knows that it may not always be the best way to resolve the case. Court can be costly, both financially and emotionally, and can irreparably damage the co-parenting relationship. It also places the decision-making for your family in someone else’s hands. Sometimes the most effective approach to helping a family through their case is in mediation, which is where the majority of family law cases are resolved.. Mr. Ricks places a particular emphasis in his practice on child advocacy. Having gone through extensive training, he is a court-certified and approved Guardian ad Litem, which is an attorney who represents children. In particularly challenging or high-conflict cases, he will often be appointed by the Court to represent the best interests of children.. Because of this perspective, Mr. Ricks is a strong advocate for fostering a positive co-parenting relationship and creating a healthy parent-child relationship to the greatest extent possible. When these two factors exist, the impact of the separation on your children is minimal, which should be everyone’s primary goal.
