About Jason B.
Jason B. Richards earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law. He completed the formal legal training that law schools require, including courses in constitutional law, civil procedure and professional responsibility. The record shows his academic credential; it does not list clerkships or honors.
His entry into the legal profession followed that degree. He moved from classroom study to the day-to-day demands of practice. Over the years he has handled the practical work that clients expect from an attorney: research, drafting pleadings and agreements, advising on legal risks and presenting arguments in formal proceedings when needed.
Colleagues describe him as methodical. He approaches problems by breaking them into parts and testing each element against the governing statutes and precedent. That approach shapes how he prepares for hearings and negotiates settlements. He balances attention to detail with a sense for which issues will matter most to a judge or opposing counsel.
Richards’s training at S.J. Quinney placed him in a law school known for a combination of classroom instruction and experiential opportunities. Those elements — doctrinal study, practical exercises and exposure to litigation mechanics — appear in the way he organizes a file and frames an argument for factfinders. He writes plainly when the situation calls for it, and he is more technical where legal nuance is required.
Professional life for Richards has involved advising clients facing a range of legal problems. He has worked on matters that required negotiation as well as those that proceeded to formal dispute resolution. He adapts strategy to the context of each case, preferring practical solutions that resolve the central legal questions efficiently. His courtroom work is characterized by careful preparation rather than showmanship.
Outside of filed matters, he keeps up with changes in law and procedure. Continuing education and review of recent opinions inform his choices about litigation strategy and risk assessment. He is pragmatic about outcomes and attentive to the costs and timelines that clients must weigh.
As of 2026 he remains an active attorney and continues to practice law in a private capacity.
