Attorney Chris A. Dexter

I was born in Provo, Utah, and was raised in Alaska, New Zealand and Arizona. I served a two-year, Spanish-speaking mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Chile and, thereafter, worked as a paid Intern in the United States Senate in Washington, DC. I then graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science in 1992.

Upon graduating from BYU, I continued my education in Illinois. I enjoyed serving as president of my class and student body vice president.

I earned the degree of Juris Doctor from Southern Illinois University School of Law in 1995 and then returned to Utah to pursue my legal career.

I have a passion for personal injury, business law, real estate law and criminal defense. I see my role to be one of solving problems by zealously and effectively advocating and representing the interests of my clients in their personal and professional lives.
