About Jason
Jason Yancey constructed a basis within the social sciences earlier than turning to law. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology from the University of Utah in 2001 and later finished his Juris Doctor at Brigham Young University. He is admitted to practice in Utah and before the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
His early years in the career included time at Mitchell & Barlow in 2010, observed by a role at Helgesen, Houtz & Jones in 2011. At both companies he labored as an affiliate attorney. Those positions positioned him within the daily work of a law practice: drafting pleadings, advising clients, and acting in court when instances required it.
Active in bar-related volunteer work in the late 2000s, he served as co-chair of the Needs of Children Committee from 2007 to 2008. He then took at the position of treasurer for the Young Lawyers Division of the Utah State Bar from 2008 to 2009. Those volunteer posts involved committee conferences, budgeting for programs and contributing to initiatives aimed at younger members of the career.
Colleagues describe him as realistic in approach. He has experience dealing with matters in each state and federal forums, and has repeatedly worked on cases that required attention to procedural detail. Over the years his practice has involved drafting pleadings, conducting legal studies and representing clients at hearings. He has maintained trial experience through appearances at various levels of litigation.
He is based at Helgesen, Houtz & Jones. He continues to practice in Utah and earlier than the Tenth Circuit, dealing with legal proceedings and associated courtroom matters. His recent practice focuses on representing clients in state and federal hearings in Utah.
