Christopher M. Ault

Chris was born and raised in Salt Lake and Sandy Utah. He graduated from high school in Sandy Utah and attended the U of U on scholarship. At a young age, Chris’s mother told him that he should be a lawyer because he loved to argue and was pretty good at it. Chris excelled in school, and after graduating early from the University of Utah, he enrolled in law school at the University of Miami.

During law school, Chris was trained at the  Miami-Dade Public Defender’s office in the felony division, as well as the prominent Miami law firm of Morgan & Morgan where he helped defend against large personal injury cases, and helped shaped the appellate law (appeal-related law) of underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage in the State of Florida.

After graduating from law school, Chris worked at Ivie & Young, a Provo law firm that specialized in Injury and Family law.  While there he became the senior partner’s go-to guy, handling cases of all types for personal friends of the firm. While at Ivie & Young, Chris also assisted in the defense of some high profile Utah Injury cases involving millions of dollars. It was at Ivie & Young where Chris gained his passion and truly became a skilled attorney.

In order to be closer to his family, Chris took a position with a larger law firm in Salt Lake City. Although Chris was able to do some work that he enjoyed, including occasionally divorces and injury cases, the focus of the practice was insurance companies and not people – in other words, helping the insurance company to pay out as little as possible after accidents had occurred. Here he learned the tricks insurance companies play to try to pay out as little as possible to injured people, and how to make sure his clients avoid those traps as much as they can.

In 2010, Chris opened the Ault Firm so that he could take the types of cases he had formed a passion in working on: Injury and Divorce cases. These were cases where he could have direct involvement with the clients, and where he could make the most difference. Since that time, the firm has grown from one attorney in a 10’x10’ office to several attorneys and staff that help hundreds of people each year.

Chris brings a unique perspective to the practice of law and helping people as an outstanding Salt Lake City Trial Attorney. He has seen the other side of Injury cases through working for a defense firm and knows the dirty tricks they play. He has seen the ugliness of a Utah Custody case as a Utah Lawyer that is a single father. Because of his experience he alerts client to potential problems and prevents bad outcomes for his clients that others can’t see. He also knows what proverbial buttons to push to make sure that the best result is had for the client.

When looking for an Injury or Divorce and Custody Attorney in Salt Lake City remember that you want someone that will help you make the best decisions for you, not an attorney who will force you to make the decision they think is best for you. Christopher Ault approaches all of his Personal Injury and Divorce cases with this. He also instills this value in the other attorneys and staff at the firm.
