Who referred you?

Bryant began his collegiate studies at the University of Utah where he graduated in psychology in 1998. He then continued his study of human behavior at the University of Hartford in Connecticut where he received a MS in Organizational Behavior. While studying organizational behavior, Bryant focused his studies on how people get into (and out of) conflict. He then obtained his law degree at Hamline School of Law (now known as Mitchell Hamline) in St. Paul, Minnesota. At Hamline, Bryant studied how methods of alternative dispute resolution can be used effectively in legal disputes.

Bryant is a skilled negotiator, litigator, and trial advocate, but he also works hard to help clients make educated and wise decisions as they determine whether it is in their best interest to participate in a trial. Bryant understands the unique dynamic of conflict in family disputes, and is prepared and willing, when necessary, to take cases to trial.

Bryant is committed to the development and improvement of family law and founded the Utah Journal of Family Law in 2010 and he is also a member of the Utah State Bar’s Family Law Executive Committee. He has served on the committee since approximately 2011 and served as Chair during the 2020-2021 term.

Bryant maintains an AV Preeminent (4.8) rating with Martindale-Hubbell, which is the highest rating awarded to attorneys for professional competence and ethics. He has been selected for inclusion in Mountain States Super Lawyers many times throughout his practice in the category of Family Law and has been voted by his peers throughout the state as one of Utah’s “Legal Elite,” as published in Utah Business Magazine. In 2015, Bryant was appointed by the Utah Supreme Court to serve on the Utah State Bar Ethics and Discipline Committee where he served for six (6) years.

Before starting McConkie, Hales & Jones in 2019, Bryant was a partner/shareholder at Ray, Quinney & Nebeker. Bryant is married and is a father of four (4) girls. In Bryant’s spare time he likes to play squash, ski, Onewheel, mountain bike, and hang out in the Ogden Valley.

Client Testimonials

“I am an attorney and I hired Bryant McConkie to handle my complex divorce case and I would highly recommend him. Before I hired Bryant, I asked all of my attorney friends who the best attorney is and they all told me it was Bryant and I think they were right. He is highly respected by the judges and court personnel. He has fantastic paralegals and staff who are super organized. The results were extraordinary. Not only did the judge rule in my favor, but the judge made my spouse pay my attorney fees. I’ve had significant trial experience and I’ve never witnessed an attorney handle an opposing party on cross-examination as effectively as Bryant did during our trial. Take it from an attorney who knows the legal system: you would be fortunate if Bryant would agree to take your case.” - Brent G.
Client Testimonials

“The best. I had a difficult divorce. At a time I needed to modify the custody arrangement, I really felt like they cared about the wellbeing of the kids and what was best for them. The advice and counsel I received make me comfortable in vouching for them. They know the ins and outs and made the whole thing as painless as it could be. They took time to explain processes to me in a way I could understand, and laid out all the options for me. I would recommend McConkie, Hales and Jones to anyone who is considering anything to do with divorce, separation and modifications.” - Joe S.
