Skyler Anderson is one of the founding partners of ANDERSON & BENSON. He has several years of experience dedicated to immigration. Dating back to his first year in law school through pro bono clinics and internships, Skyler’s focus has always been immigration law. As an attorney, he has successfully navigated clients through the tangled webs of immigration law through U.S. embassies and consulates throughout the world, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and the immigration and appellate courts. His advocacy has resulted in a number of notable published decisions in the state and federal appellate courts.
Skyler lived for two years in southern Chile, where he became fluent in Spanish and where he developed a love for foreign cultures. Upon returning to the United States, Skyler continued his study of the language, receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish from Brigham Young University in 2007. He went on to receive his Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law in 2009.
