He is a past President of the Federal Bar Association, Utah Chapter, and a past Vice-President of the Federal Bar Association for the 10th Circuit. John's legal practice is now focused exclusively on obtaining recoveries for seriously injured clients. In addition to his legal practice, John is an accident reconstructionist who has testified as an expert witness in jury trials in Utah and Arizona.
