Epperson & Owens traces its roots to June 1, 1895, when brothers Samuel W. Stewart and Charles B. Stewart founded the Stewart & Stewart law firm in the first Utah “skyscraper” located on the corner of Main Street and First South in downtown Salt Lake City. The firm of Epperson & Owens, P.C. continues to occupy the fifth floor of the same building where the firm originated. David C. Epperson and Scott H. Epperson are great great grandsons of Charles B. Stewart.
Through the succeeding years, the law firm of Stewart & Stewart prospered. Although the name of their law firm changed, the practice of law in the Stewart family continued.
The firm’s office building, constructed of local Kyune sandstone and brick, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It preserves the original stone, brick, and quarter sawn oak trim. Many of its original architectural elements have been painstakingly restored, helping to return the floor to its former beauty. Also preserved are the original Stewart law books, oak stack book cases, and early firm photographs.

Epperson & Owens represents many of the largest insurance carriers and healthcare providers doing business within the State of Utah. This specialty of the firm has a historic precedent, for in the late 1920s and early 1930s the firm began concentrating on insurance defense cases and continues to represent clients in cases of professional malpractice and liability, professional licensing, personal injury, and product liability.
Epperson & Owens is proud of its long Utah heritage, AV rating (the highest available), and inclusion in the “Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers” from Martindale-Hubbell, which reflects the firm’s competency and integrity.
