Ted Sutton, Esq.

Ted Sutton

Ted Sutton is a licensed attorney who is the son of Garrett Sutton. Ted was born and raised in Reno, NV. He graduated from the University of Utah with a B.S. in Mining Engineering. During one of his summers, he spent three months working at a mine in Chile. This experience made him realize that legal matters interested him more than engineering ones. After graduating in 2018, he took a leap of faith and decided to attend law school the following year.

He interned and shadowed numerous attorneys in different fields during his year off, including his dad. This was a valuable experience for him, as he came to realize that he liked doing what his dad does best. Helping a wide range of people form businesses to protect their assets, all without entering a courthouse. A true win-win situation.

Ted attended the University of Wyoming College of Law in the fall of 2019. In his third year, he served as the Student Director of the Business Entrepreneurship Practicum, where he helped clients form and maintain LLCs. He graduated in May 2022. Ted is now licensed to practice law in Wyoming and Nevada.

In his spare time, Ted enjoys hiking, running, skiing, and traveling. He has attended multiple seminars with Robert Kiyosaki and the Rich Dad team in different parts of the world. He also likes to spend time with his family (including his boss), and his two dogs, Dani and Ruby.
