Biography:
Len is a native of Utah. He joined our Salt Lake City office as an associate in 2006 after working as an insurance counsel for Allstate Insurance in Utah. Prior to his time with Allstate, Len was an Assistant Utah Attorney General where he defended claims made against the State of Utah and its agencies.
