Personal
Robert aspired to become a lawyer from an early age while running errands, cleaning offices and otherwise making himself a nuisance in the law office of his father and uncle. His father, M. Dayle Jeffs, has instilled in Robert a love for the law, a respect for the judicial system and a commitment to serve his clients as well as the profession. Robert and his wife, Tracy, enjoy their four children and three grandchildren, spending as much time with them as the children will tolerate. Robert is easily distracted by running, biking, and fishing, while mostly frustrated by golf.
