Henness & Haight

Jacob S. Smith joined Henness & Haight in November 2015 as part of the firm’s litigation team, where his practice focuses on personal injury matters including premises liability, car accidents, products liability, and catastrophic injury litigation. Raised in Southern Utah, he graduated Magna Cum Laude from Weber State University before earning his Juris Doctor from J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University in 2006. During law school, he became certified as a mediator, served as a judicial extern to Utah’s Fourth District Court, and clerked at a civil litigation firm in Las Vegas. After admission to the bar, he gained courtroom experience at a boutique Las Vegas firm and later practiced at a prominent insurance defense firm litigating catastrophic injury claims, providing him valuable insight into how insurance companies handle cases. Admitted in Nevada (2006) and Utah (2012), Jacob has been recognized as “Legal Elite” and as a “Rising Star” or “Super Lawyer” since 2010.
