About Us
Long Okura, P.C., is a Utah Family Law Firm. We have been in business since 2004. Rebecca Long Okura is the managing attorney; she has been litigating since 2000. We currently have four attorneys in this boutique firm but one is leaving to work for a college. We focus on divorce, paternity, grandparent's rights, mediation services, adoption, and other family law issues. We also do Estate Planning, Probate litigation and some Small Business transactional and litigation work.
The most important thing for us when hiring is that the personality of the hire fits our law firm's vibe. We like to work hard and play hard. We believe in autonomy, flexibility, the value of world travel, and the importance of fun at the office. However, we also take our cases very seriously. We want each staff member to set and achieve individual personal development goals, and we believe that the practice of law should stem from a sincere desire to help others and to act with personal impeccability.
