Zion National Park, Upper Emerald Pools (Heaps Canyon), by Utah State Bar member Michael Steck.
​
MICHAEL STECK is a litigation and transactional solo practitioner representing business clients in
Utah and Arizona. He relocated from the Wasatch front to St. George after developing lung complications
from his second combat tour with the Utah Army National Guard. He recently became accredited to
help other Veterans with disability claims. He finds great solitude through photography and
canyoneering in Southern Utah. Michael enjoys donating his artwork to non-profits for fundraising
purposes and would like to connect with more organizations. If you know of an interested
organization, please reach out via email to michael@clariorlaw.com.
