Personal:

Robert aspired to become a lawyer from an early age while running errands, cleaning offices and otherwise making himself a nuisance in the law office of his father and uncle. His father, M. Dayle Jeffs has instilled in Robert a love for the law, a respect for the judicial system and a commitment to serve his clients as well as the profession. Robert and his wife, Tracy enjoy their 4 children and 1 grandchild, spending as much time with them as the children will tolerate. Robert is easily distracted by running, biking, and fishing, while mostly frustrated by golf.
