About 

Micah

A consummate student, he has four college degrees, including a Doctorate in Jurisprudence, and well over fifteen thousand hours of training and study in mindfulness, including an authorization to teach Ashtanga from the legendary Manju Jois himself. As a Bar-licensed Attorney for over a decade, Guardian ad Litem, and the Founder of LOTUSLEGAL, he has worked with and for the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office, the Utah Guardian ad Litem's Office, the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts, the Rocky Mountain Innocence Center, the ACLU, the Utah Association of Collaborative Professionals, and numerous other governmental and nonprofit organizations that protect and serve the underprivileged and marginalized. 

In his role as a Guardian ad Litem, Micah represents abused and neglected children in high-conflict divorce cases. He is trauma-informed and trained in navigating child abuse, child psychology, and domestic violence. He is also AFCC Informed and an active member of the Utah Association of Collaborative Professionals. Micah appears in courts statewide several times a week on behalf of his clients concerning all manner of family law cases. Although Micah loves the courtroom, he knows it is not always the best way to resolve disputes, especially when children are involved. Trial can be financially and emotionally costly, so Micah approaches each case as a “peaceful warrior” by endeavoring to resolve most matters via negotiation or mediation (and does so with a very high rate of success).

As the creator of Scholé Yoga, Micah has also shared the power of mindfulness with tens of thousands of students across the world and personally certified well over five hundred teachers in his unique system of education and empowerment. In his spare time, he enjoys anything that gets him outside and connected to others, especially surfing, sailing, and other outdoor adventures.
