Personal
William has worked at Jeffs & Jeffs, P.C. as long as he can remember. He has bad memories of filing checks, correspondence and pleadings into the individual files of the clients. He enjoys helping individuals work through their concerns and problems in areas that they are unfamiliar with, such as estate planning and caring for the aging and handicapped.
When not at work, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Joanne, and their five children and six grandchildren. As a family, they enjoy running, especially trail running, paddle-boarding, biking, playing cribbage and pinnacle, and attempting to golf. He has participated in a number of endurance trail runs and has run in Rim to Rim at the Grand Canyon, the Timpanogos Trail Marathon, and the Squaw Peak 50.
