The time I spent working for the Nevada Supreme Court and Court of Appeals taught me how to be successful at every stage of litigation. Learning from the Justices and Judges at the state’s highest courts, I learned how to present arguments that are efficient, effective, and engaging. With me, clients get a litigator that doesn’t just understand the law, but also someone that understands the role of the judiciary.
