He was thorough and quick, allowing my family to enjoy the remaining time with my Father instead of worrying about his estate. I will be hiring Haymond Law to take care of my matters as well.”

Deacon enjoys writing about himself in the third person, attending legal education conferences; playing with new technologies and the protection of digital information; repairing anything in his workshop, leadership building events, and recreating in both Summit County and the Wasatch backcountry.
