Jeffs & Jeffs, P.C.

A Provo practice with a long timeline

This is a Provo, Utah law firm with roots that go back several decades. According to the firm, brothers Dayle and Dean Jeffs founded Jeffs & Jeffs, P.C. in 1957. It states that it has operated for more than 70 years, and as a reviewer I read a run that long as a sign of steady local footing.

The office serves clients across Utah, including Utah County and the counties nearby. The name has stayed in the family too. Six of the seven listed attorneys share the Jeffs surname, which points to a practice that has passed through more than one generation.

Focus and practice areas

The firm works across several fields of law rather than a single one. On the business side it handles business formation, corporate matters, contracts, employment questions, and real estate. Its real estate work covers commercial property, land use and zoning, landlord and tenant issues, boundary disputes, development, and real estate litigation.

Estate planning is a second area of strength. That practice takes in wills, trusts, powers of attorney, asset protection, tax planning, and probate administration. It reaches into guardianships and conservatorships, plus estate and trust litigation for the times a plan is contested.

For individuals, the firm takes auto accident and personal injury claims, family law matters such as divorce and custody, and criminal defense including DUI. That range lets one office cover a family's business, property, estate, and personal legal needs. In my opinion, a bench this wide suits clients who would rather keep their matters under one roof.

How the team is built

The firm lists seven attorneys. Most of them trained at Brigham Young University or the University of Utah, so the group's education is local. Below is what the site sets out about each.

Partners on the business and estate side

David D. Jeffs, a founding partner, earned a B.S. in Economics from Brigham Young University in 1977 and a J.D. from its J. Reuben Clark Law School in 1979. His work covers real estate sales and development, real estate litigation, business formations, estate planning, probate and trust administration, and tax planning.

William M. Jeffs, a partner, holds a Bachelor of Science from Brigham Young University and a J.D. from the J. Reuben Clark Law School. He concentrates on estate planning, including wills, trusts, advance health care directives, and powers of attorney, along with probate and trust administration, guardianships and conservatorships, and business formations.

Kevin D. Jeffs, a partner, earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from Brigham Young University in 2005 and a Juris Doctor from the S.J. Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah in 2009. He works in real estate, commercial leasing, contract law, guardianship, and estate planning, with property owners, landlords, and developers among his clients.

The litigators

Robert L. Jeffs, a partner, earned a B.S. in Business Management from Brigham Young University in 1981 and a J.D. from the J. Reuben Clark Law School in 1984. He handles commercial and business disputes, personal injury and medical malpractice claims, and real estate matters. He has also served as a mediator or arbitrator in commercial cases.

Randall L. Jeffs has practiced at the firm since 2008. He earned a B.A. in International Studies and Economics from Brigham Young University in 2003 and a J.D. from the same university's law school in 2008. As a trial attorney, he takes contract, small business, non-compete, and real property disputes.

A later addition, and one name without a profile

Will A. Shinen earned Bachelor of Accountancy and Master of Accountancy degrees from Brigham Young University and a Juris Doctor from the S.J. Quinney College of Law in 2009. He worked in the technology sector, then ran a solo practice in family law and estate planning before moving into insurance defense.

The firm also lists Ryan A. Morley among its attorneys. The site names him without a public profile, so I will not guess at his background here.

What the record shows

The firm's own description stays factual and short on sales talk. It names its attorneys, states when it was founded, and lists the areas it covers. As a reviewer, I value that plain approach, because it lets a reader check the claims against real people and dates.

A few points stand out for anyone weighing the firm. The practice spans transactional work and courtroom work, so a client can often move from a contract or an estate plan into a dispute without leaving the office. The mix of business, property, estate, and family matters also means shared context across a client's affairs.

The site does not link social media profiles, and it does not publish case results or client counts. That leaves less to browse than some firms put out. It also means the picture here rests on stated history and named attorneys rather than on advertising, which fits how a reader should judge a firm.
