Law Firm History

The firm began on June 15, l979 as Farr, Kaufman, and Hamilton. It was Steve Kaufman’s initial idea to start a new firm, as all three practiced at the time at Vlahos and Knowlton. Steve Kaufman asked Steve Farr and Dave Hamilton to join up with a vision of a new firm, which they did. A new building was just being completed called Bamberger Square in Ogden, and Steve and Steve had an opportunity to buy a portion for their new firm. Steve and Steve had a case together concerning a murder in Wyoming which financed the move. It was a big step for all of them to start a new firm.

Over the years, many attorneys have come and gone. Three prior members have become judges, at least ten former and present members have been Weber County Bar Presidents, and Steve Kaufman is a former president of the Utah State Bar. Over the years, the firm has had several names, always beginning with Farr and Kaufman. In 2013, the firm changed directions, with Steve Kaufman, Ron Nichols, and Kris Kaufman becoming named partners and Steve Farr starting a separate firm. The KNK Law firm presently consists of 6 attorneys, 5 paralegals, and additional staff. Forty years have passed since the initial law firm was started, and the present firm is strong and growing as one of Ogden’s largest law firms.

If you’re looking for an attorney who truly fights for his clients, I can’t recommend Ben Larsen highly enough. I switched attorneys in the middle of my divorce after realizing my first attorney seemed more interested in billing hours than protecting my interests. Hiring Ben was one of the best decisions I made. He stepped in, took control of my case, and fought for what was right. Because of his skill and determination, I kept my home when it looked like I might lose it, and the outcome of my case improved by approximately a quarter of a million dollars. Ben is dynamic in the courtroom. He presents his arguments with confidence, finesse, and complete command of the room. He is exceptionally well prepared, strategic, and never intimidated. Watching him advocate on my behalf gave me confidence during one of the most difficult times of my life. If you need an attorney who is intelligent, tenacious, and genuinely committed to getting the best possible outcome for his clients, Ben Larsen is the attorney you want on your side. I will always be grateful for what he did for me. J. Evans
