John Edward Hansen finds great satisfaction in helping the lives of individuals who have suffered tragic injuries.  Over the past 23 years, John has successfully tried more than 60 cases in federal and state courts throughout Utah.  He is a past President of the Federal Bar Association, Utah Chapter, and a past Vice-President of the Federal Bar Association for the 10th Circuit.  John's legal practice is now focused exclusively on obtaining recoveries for seriously injured clients.  In addition to his legal practice, John is an accident reconstructionist who has testified as an expert witness in jury trials in Utah and Arizona.

On the personal side, John enjoys traveling and spending time with his wife and five children.  In the spirit of Theodore Roosevelt's advocacy for 'the strenuous life' John has run 17 marathon races in the United States and France.  Most of his running is currently done on the tennis court where he loves playing doubles tennis with family and friends.
