The attorneys in your corner.
Every case gets a team — at least one attorney and one paralegal — reachable by phone, email, or in person, evenings and weekends included.
Rebecca Long Okura
Rebecca is a graduate of the Georgetown University Law Center. While living in Washington D.C. she worked on a wide range of matters — contract, tobacco and criminal litigation, real estate, employment, taxes and asset protection, and mergers and acquisitions — holding legal positions with The Nature Conservancy, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the firms Silver Freedman & Taft LLP and Krooth & Altman LLP. During law school she represented juvenile criminal defendants in Georgetown’s clinic program.
After falling in love with mountains during a law-school semester in Innsbruck, Austria, Rebecca toured the United States looking for a home with natural beauty and no ninety-minute commute. The first day she was in Salt Lake City, she decided this was it.
Rebecca graduated in 2000 and immediately began practicing in Utah, focusing on family law and litigation including business and contractual disputes. In December 2004 she left a medium-sized family law firm to build her own — now five lawyers, three paralegals and two support staff. She is a Utah State Court rostered domestic mediator and has been an adjunct legal and political science professor.
Katie McLain
Before joining Long Okura, Katie specialized in estate planning, business, employment and contract law, working as both an associate attorney and in-house counsel for firms in Utah and Salt Lake Counties.
Katie received an undergraduate degree with honors in Environmental Health, Science and Policy from the University of California, Irvine, and a law degree from the S.J. Quinney College of Law, University of Utah. She is licensed in Utah’s state and federal courts.
Originally from Utah, Katie returned to Salt Lake in 2005 — in part for the mountains, where she can often be found trail running, mountain biking, backcountry skiing and rock climbing.
Alexis Whelan
Alexis is a graduate of Vermont Law School. Originally from Toronto, Canada, she received an undergraduate degree with honors in Environmental Science from the University of Toronto. While in Vermont she worked as a remote legal intern with the Urban Innocence Project in New York on criminal defense matters, and as a remote family law intern with Osadet Law in Toronto.
During law school Alexis was a student clinician at the South Royalton Legal Clinic, focusing primarily on family law.
After months of searching for the right post-graduate opportunity, Alexis found that Long Okura checked all of her boxes — and without ever having visited Utah, decided Salt Lake City would be her next home.
Kate Menlove
Kate grew up enjoying the mountains and lakes of Utah, with favorite vacation spots in Moab and Lake Powell. After completing her undergraduate degree at Brigham Young University, she moved to Portland, Oregon to work in wealth-management finance — then switched careers to law, wanting work focused on helping others.
Kate graduated from the University of Utah’s S.J. Quinney College of Law and is happy to be back in her home state. She interned in criminal law before discovering her love for family law and estate planning, and frequently volunteers with the Pro Bono Initiative family law and estate planning clinics.
Kate can often be found skiing — on snow or water — reading a fantasy novel, or at the Megaplex.
