He has significant experience defending trucking and transportation companies and manufacturers of all sorts of products, including recreational vehicles, commercial trailers, technical climbing equipment, home appliances, and automobiles in high stakes litigation.

Licensed to practice before the state and federal courts in both Arizona and Utah, Kelton takes a commonsense approach to resolving cases as efficiently and effectively as circumstances permit. He has picked juries and tried cases to verdict in three states and has participated in scores of mediations and arbitrations on behalf of his clients.

A fourth generation Arizonan, Kelton has deep ties to the community. When not at work, he enjoys Canyoneering, exploring the backcountry in a Jeep, hiking, summiting as many of Colorado’s “14ers” as possible (14 so far!) and anything else that takes him outdoors with his wife and kids.
