Brian Lisonbee, has represented clients and companies in a variety of industries including Biotech, Agriculture, E-commerce, Financial Services, Staffing, Social Media, and more. His goal is to ensure his clients receive exceptional legal advice tailored to their specific needs and objectives.

Brian believes everyone deserves personalized, thorough, and zealous immigration representation. Brian has helped many clients successfully take on the enormous United States immigration machine. His representation is about presenting a client's story in such a way that the person looking at it behind the curtain feels compelled to give them a correct decision. Favorable results are never a guarantee in immigration — but it is possible to control the quality of the information being presented to the United States immigration services.

Brian was born and raised by parents who owned a small cow/calf operation in rural Utah. Hard work and dedication learned on the ranch set the foundation for Brian's career. In college at Brigham Young University and later as a law student at the University of Nebraska, Brian was diligent in his studies, and resolute in his goal to become an attorney. Now, after working for two boutique law firms and one of the largest immigration firms in the world, Brian is able to apply his strong work ethic and legal knowledge on behalf of his own clients.

Rick is an attorney licensed in Utah and Kansas with experience in probate, estate planning, real estate, water/oil/gas/mineral interests, business, trust administration, guardianship, adoption, civil disputes, and recently criminal defense. After several years of living outside of Utah, Rick and his family returned to Southern Utah prepared to give back to the community. Rick's current focus is the goal of becoming a prosecutor with Washington County.

Before starting his own practice, Rick worked with a small law firm in Topeka, Kansas, doing primarily estate planning, probate, guardianship, and adoption. Prior to becoming a licensed attorney, he worked as an assistant for another estate planning attorney and on the legal team of a nationwide asset protection company.

During law school, Rick interned with the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) and was an assistant to a tax professor. He also received two distinguished awards, one of which took him to Washington D.C., where he met with a U.S. Supreme Court Justice.

Prior to law, Rick was a teacher in a religious seminary and later interned with the United States Senate. He developed a passion for teaching and working with people directly—which has become the core of his law practice. Rick spends time educating clients and ensuring they are prepared to confidently make important decisions.

Rick has studied the U.S. Constitution and history, and believes it is important for each generation to learn, teach, and support the founding values of freedom—civility, integrity, work, accountability, service, sacrifice, self-discipline, faith, family, respect, charity, and so on—to maintain a free and prosperous society. Rick participates in legal conferences each year that bring together scholars, practitioners, and government and religious leaders from around the world who are committed to promoting and protecting these values.
