About the County Attorney

Christopher F. Allred began working for the Weber County Attorneys Office in 1996. It was here that he developed expertise in practically every aspect of government civil law as well as criminal prosecution. In 2015 Chris became the first Republican elected to the office of Weber County Attorney in over thirty years.

Chris was chosen by his fellow county attorneys to serve as the President of the Utah County and District Attorneys Association (UCDAA), and he was recently elected to serve as the President of the Statewide Association of Prosecutors & Public Attorneys (SWAP). Chris is a board member of the Weber-Morgan Childrens Justice Center, and he has been a presenter on local government issues at numerous statewide conferences.

Chris was born and raised in Ogden. He attended Ogden High School, graduated from Weber State University with honors, and obtained his law degree from Brigham Young University. Chris and his wife, Priscilla Vicencio Allred, have raised their four children in Ogden. It is their shared opinion that Weber County is the greatest county anywhere on earth.
