Daniel R. Cragun

Founder Attorney/Realtor

Meet the founder of Apex Legal, a dedicated attorney since 2001, committed to delivering exceptional legal services to our esteemed clients.  There is no substitute for raw, courtroom-tested experience. For a quarter of a century, Daniel R. Cragun has been the formidable force that high-net-worth clients, corporations, and family offices look to when the stakes are at their absolute highest. Licensed in Utah as both an elite trial attorney and a sharp real estate professional, Dan spent 25 years in the trenches, litigating complex civil, property, and multi-million-dollar corporate claims. He built a reputation as an unyielding, hard-nosed advocate who welcomes the battles other firms actively avoid.

 

After successfully orchestrating the sale of his premier law firm and becoming a licensed Realtor, Dan transitioned his rare combination of skills into an exclusive advisory role. Having moved out of traditional firm practice, Dan now exclusively represents family offices that require an elite level of protection and strategic execution.

 

When you have spent decades mastering the mechanics of "hard-nosed" litigation, you know exactly how to bulletproof an asset before a threat ever materializes. Dan leverages this heavy-hitting background to construct airtight tax defense strategies, direct sophisticated wealth management, engineer ironclad asset protection, and secure seamless generational wealth transfers. In the boardroom or the courtroom, Dan Cragun is the formidable ally you want in your corner—and the absolute last person your opposition wants to see across the table.
