Salt Lake City: Livability in the 21st Century

After his admission to the bar in 1980, Durham worked for
ten years for what was then the largest law firm in Utah.
Durham ventured out to build his own firm in 1991,
employing from day one what he describes as the “no jerk”
rule. “Our focus is hiring and retaining attorneys who not
only produce high quality legal work, but who are also
great people,” Durham says. The firm’s high civility standards
apply not only to how the firm’s attorneys conduct
themselves when representing D|J|P and its clients, but to
how they treat one another and the firm’s employees. “The
sense of teamwork we enjoy here is quite remarkable,”
Durham says. Others have apparently taken notice as well.
In 2013 the Utah State Bar Association presented Durham
its prestigious Professionalism Award. Also, Super Lawyers
Magazine has named him one of the top 100 lawyers in the
Mountain States, and he is listed in Best Lawyers in America
in litigation, corporate and real estate law.
In addition to providing the
highest quality legal services, D|J|P
philosophy is strongly rooted in
giving back to the communities in
which each office operates. The
firm is committed to supporting
organizations that benefit the arts,
community wellness, health and
humanitarian services. Some of the
nonprofit corporations and other
organizations attorneys have served
include: Pioneer Theatre Company, Utah Regional Ballet, Hale
Centre Theatre, Salt Lake City Gallery Stroll, Make-A-Wish
Foundation of Utah, Muscular Dystrophy Association of Utah,
American Cancer Society, Amicus International, the Ogden
School Foundation, Utah Heritage Foundation, Utah Food
Bank, Rescue Mission of Salt Lake, United Way and more.
D|J|P’s commitment to community
is further demonstrated by
the firm’s generous ongoing contributions
to “And Justice For All,”
a fundraising organization sanctioned
by the Utah Supreme Court
to support worthwhile organizations
that provide legal services
directly to poor and disadvantaged
individuals throughout the state of
Utah. These organizations include
Legal Aid Society of Salt Lake,
Utah Legal Services, the Disability
Law Center and the Multi-Cultural
Legal Center.
