Attorney Ryan L. Jensen

A 1997 graduate of Utah State University, magna cum laude, Ryan obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science, with a minor in Russian. He continued his education at J. Reuben Clark Law School, Brigham Young University, where in 2001 he earned his Juris Doctorate, magna cum laude. He was named as as a member of Utah Legal Elite by Utah Business Magazine in 2015. Each year, Ryan spends many hours participating in continuing legal education (CLE)–far above and beyond the minimum number of hours required by the Utah State Bar. While this does not mean he has all of the answers, it does mean that he works very hard to keep himself up to date with the latest developments in the legal industry. He is not a “jack of all trades”–rather, his practice focuses in the areas of corporate transactional law and estate planning. If you are looking for someone to handle an area of law outside these two areas, he will be happy to give you references for attorneys who have the requisite expertise for your unique situation.

Ryan has written and published two books on estate planning basics. He and his saintly and wife (of almost 18 years) have 3 children (two boys, one girl). He is active in his church and related youth-support organizations and is an Eagle Scout. Ryan is also a KUBEX enthusiast, a recreational cyclist, a fair-weather runner (finisher of 2 marathons, including Stockholm, Sweden, and a handful of half-marathons) and enjoys most other sports, especially ones in which his children are participating. In fact, these days, he and his wife spend far more of their free time watching their children play sports than actually participating themselves. When reading for enjoyment (rather than legal education), he enjoys just about anything by Dickens, Tolstoy or Dumas. His heroes include his parents, Neal A. Maxwell, Brigham Young, Sir Thomas More, George Washington (and all the other Founding Fathers), Abraham Lincoln and C.S. Lewis (in no particular order).
