Who we are

Kimball is a lawyer who cares deeply about making the law more accessible. In 2017, he founded LawX, the legal design lab at BYU Law School. LawX works with law students to build products that help people who can’t afford attorneys. LawX has released products addressing debt collection, eviction, and asylum that have helped thousands of people for free.

In 2019, Kimball founded SixFifty to bring Wilson Sonsini-level expertise to as many people and companies as possible. SixFifty has helped tens of thousands of people and businesses to create top-tier legal documents.

Matt Jacobs is Chief Sales Officer and Co-Founder of SixFifty. Previously, Matt held leadership positions at OnCourse Learning, Praedo Institute and Moen Incorporated.

Ryan spent a decade litigating cases for the Department of Justice and U.S. Intelligence Community before joining Sixfifty, where he has happily traded arguing cases for collaborating on projects. At the time, Ryan was the first member of the Legal Product Team, and Sixfifty offered only one product. Today, Ryan leads a robust and growing Legal Product team that offers over a dozen products that make the law more accessible for businesses and individuals.

Ryan lives in Maryland with his wife and four kids and enjoys coaching youth soccer, camping in the Adirondacks, and hiking the Appalachian Trail.

Jared is an experienced technologist who loves solving real-world problems. He’s equally comfortable building solutions in the cloud, data center, or his home network of Raspberry PIs. He’s an experienced executive having managed teams all over the world, but his lovely wife manages his favorite team of four close to home. When not playing with tech, Jared can be found spending time outside, most frequently fixing, admiring, or pedaling a bike.

Steve is the keymaster for SixFifty (think Rick Moranis from Ghostbusters). He loves the way numbers help us tell the story and plan for the future.

Prior to joining SixFifty, Steve worked in public accounting at Ernst & Young where he completed audits for both public and private companies. Since then Steve has also worked for various public and private companies, including Sportsman’s Warehouse, SoFi, Teem, and Artemis Health.

When Steve is not deep in an Excel spreadsheet, he enjoys running, biking, swimming, boating, four-wheeling, coaching soccer, and spending time with his wife and four children.

Sarah is an energetic problem solver who focuses on the magic of bringing people together—digitally, in-person, or at a taco cart. She has an extensive background in marketing strategy and thought leadership, and has worked for major brands such as Adobe, WeWork, and Qualtrics.

In her spare time, Sarah enjoys spending time with her family, and hiking with a pit bull (or two). In her car she enjoys belting out a show tune (or five).

Ransom leads SixFifty’s Pro Bono and Social Impact work. He joined SixFifty in early 2020, and found joy and purpose in helping promote SixFifty’s free tools supporting people who can’t afford legal help. Ransom formally took over as Vice President of Pro Bono in December of 2021.

SixFifty believes that the law is for everyone, just like public parks and libraries. That’s why we devote part of our time and resources to creating free legal tools for those who can’t afford legal help.

Ransom is the lead singer in King Niko, a dance-rock band based in Salt Lake City. He once filled in with Panic! at the Disco when King Niko was performing alongside them at a show.

Josh attended Westminster College where he earned undergraduate degrees in both Psychology and Justice Studies. His time in undergrad taught him that access to justice is not always a sure thing, and while writing his thesis he realized that he might be able to help untangle the esoteric mess that we call the law. He went on to receive his JD from University of New Mexico.

Before joining SixFifty, Josh worked at an employment law firm in Albuquerque, NM, representing both sides of the employment line: employer and employee.

Josh enjoys travel adventures. He has gone climbing and kayaking in Thailand and backpacking across Patagonia. Josh also enjoys spending time with family, and has made it a tradition to go salmon snagging in the winter with his dad.

Connor has a curious mind and creativity that helps him create innovative solutions to legal problems at SixFifty. Working for SixFifty right out of J. Reuben Clark Law School has helped him stay nimble and tackle legal problems in creative ways. He played a critical role in creating the Employee Handbook and has helped keep employers on the cutting edge of state and local pandemic responses.

When he isn’t automating the law, Connor can be found rock climbing, baking, playing Dungeons and Dragons, or piloting Princess Peach in Super Smash Brothers Melee (2001).

Seth attended the University of New Mexico where he obtained undergraduate degrees in Economics and Political Science before going on to receive his JD from Ohio State University’s Moritz College of Law.

After law school, Seth went on to work as an associate at a large law firm in New Mexico, where he specialized in employment law and commercial litigation. During his time practicing, Seth was struck by how much access to the justice system was limited by someone’s ability to pay the, at times, outlandish fees that go along with hiring a lawyer. This realization led Seth to leave his practice and seek out a position where he can help deliver quality legal work to people and organizations that don’t have the resources necessary to hire a law firm.
