Best Lawyers® · 2019–2027 Editions
Utah personal injury attorney Ken Christensen has been recognized in the 2027 edition of Best Lawyers® — an honor earned not through advertising, but through the confidential votes of fellow attorneys.
What this recognition actually means
Best Lawyers® has used the same method for more than four decades: Purely Peer Review®. Attorneys are nominated, then evaluated by other recognized lawyers in the same state and the same field — the people best positioned to judge the quality of the work. There is no paid placement. For an injury victim choosing who to trust, that distinction matters: this is the verdict of Ken's professional peers, not a marketing budget.
Not the first time his peers chose him
More than 400 Utah personal injury attorneys once elected Ken to lead their profession statewide.
In 2022, Ken Christensen served as president of the Utah Association for Justice — the statewide organization that brings together the personal injury attorneys of Utah. He was elected to that role by his colleagues across the state: the very lawyers who, in any given case, might be sitting on the other side of the table.
That kind of trust isn't handed out lightly. It's the same signal the Best Lawyers® recognition sends, from a different direction — Utah's injury lawyers, asked who they respect, keep pointing to the same name.
Ken's colleagues chose him to protect the profession and the accident victims it serves. That's the standard he brings to every client's case.
A record built over 20+ years
Recognized through peer review, continuing a long run of inclusion in the guide.
Elected by more than 400 Utah personal injury attorneys to lead the profession statewide.
Also named to the organization's "Top 40 Under 40" earlier in his career.
Repeatedly listed among Utah's top-rated attorneys.
BusinessRate "Best of Draper" award, determined by verified Google reviews — no nominations, no paid placement.

About the attorney
Ken Christensen grew up in Draper, Utah, and still lives and works in the community where he was raised. Before law school, he was in a car accident himself and saw firsthand how insurance companies use a person's trust against them. That experience is why he became a personal injury attorney — and why he founded Good Guys Injury Law (Christensen & Hymas) to represent injury victims, and only injury victims.
Ken earned his Bachelor of Arts from Purdue University and his Juris Doctor from California Western School of Law, and is admitted to practice in all Utah courts. Alongside partner Russ Hymas, he has helped author Utah legislation to protect accident victims and hold insurers accountable.
Questions, answered
Entirely by peer review. Attorneys are nominated and then confidentially evaluated by other recognized lawyers who practice in the same state and the same area of law. Lawyers cannot pay to be included, and roughly 5% of U.S. lawyers are recognized. In short: it reflects the professional opinion of Ken's peers about the quality of his work.
Two independent groups of Utah attorneys have signaled their respect for Ken. Best Lawyers® honorees evaluated him for the 2027 edition, and more than 400 Utah personal injury attorneys previously elected him president of the Utah Association for Justice. Peer recognition like this comes from the lawyers most qualified to judge the work — including the ones who face him across a case.
Because the people best positioned to judge a lawyer's work — other attorneys — keep choosing Ken. He's recognized in the 2027 edition of Best Lawyers® through peer review, and more than 400 Utah personal injury attorneys elected him president of the Utah Association for Justice. On top of that peer recognition, he brings more than 20 years focused solely on injury cases, a 4.9-star rating across 355+ reviews, and a firm built on personal attention: you work directly with an attorney, not a case number. Good Guys Injury Law also works on contingency — no fees unless they win your case — so there's no risk in having Ken handle your claim.
