A California native, Kramer came to Utah to attend Brigham Young University, where he received a B.A. in international relations in 1992. He returned to his home state to attend law school, getting his J.D. at the University of the Pacific’s McGeorge School of Law in 1996. He and his wife had two young children at the time, and decided that they wanted to raise them in Utah, so he made the decision to move back and joined Sykes & Associates, a plaintiffs’ personal injury firm in Salt Lake City.
At the time, Kramer was interested in developing a career in patent law, but his experience handling cases for injured plaintiffs dispelled that idea. “I liked that we were representing the underdog against these power brokers,” he recalls.
He and a colleague at that firm then ventured out to launch their own firm in Salt Lake City, but after three years of dealing with the commute from his home in Draper, Kramer decided that he wanted to practice law closer to home. He opened the Kramer Injury Law in 2004, with its primary office in West Jordan, and he’s been growing his practice as a personal injury attorney in the area ever since.
