At a young age, Chris's mother told him that he should be a lawyer because he loved to argue and was pretty good at it. Chris excelled in school, and after graduating early from the University of Utah, he enrolled in law school at the University of Miami. During law school, Chris saw that there were seemingly as many specialties in the law as there were lawyers. After talking with every attorney he could find, and some soul searching, he decided that the only type of law he could practice long-term was that which helped people.
During law school, Chris was trained at the Miami law firm of Morgan & Morgan, where he helped defend against large personal injury cases, and helped shaped the appellate law (appeal-related law) of underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage in the State of Florida.
After graduating from law school, Chris was hired by a law firm in Provo, Utah, Ivie & Young, where he became the senior partner's go-to guy, handling cases of all types for personal friends of the firm. While at Ivie & Young, Chris also assisted in the defense of some high profile cases involving millions of dollars. It was at Ivie & Young where Chris first worked on representing plaintiffs in personal injury cases, and had overwhelming success.
In order to be closer to his new family, Chris took a position with the Salt Lake City law firm of Smith & Glauser. Although Chris was able to do some work that he enjoyed, including the occasional family law or personal injury claim, the focus of the practice was insurance defense - in other words, helping the insurance company to pay out as little as possible after accidents had occurred.
Chris brings a unique perspective to the practice of law and of helping people. He has seen the other side and knows the tricks they play. Because of his experience he is able to prevent many of the bad outcomes that other lawyers do not. He also knows what buttons to push to make sure that the best result is had.
