A lot of Alex's clients have gone to other lawyers due to his lack of work. He told me to sign my divorce decree even though I was owed more. He just wanted to get it over with. I had a leftover retainer of $6k that he kept and drew out the process of finalizing my custody order. I had to keep calling and calling in order to get a response. Instead he lied about filing and due dates, threatened to withdraw from my court case, but did not. I had to hire another lawyer and go through the bar to get my retainer back. His exact words were "that's how lawyers make money". And that's exactly what he will do. Fill his own pockets before helping you out. Don't be fooled by the flat fee. If you ask for an itemized invoice he will charge $400 per hour. If I knew that I would've got monies worth instead of the mediocre deadlines.

Don’t waste your money with this attorney unless you want to lose your case this attorney makes no effort to win your case the only thing he did for me was literally to convince me to pay the highest amount of alimony and follow all the other parties directions not only that but he changed me more than what he had said at the beginning of the case months after the divorce was over he was still changing me for no reason worst attorney ever don’t waste your money with them

Ben is AMAZING!
I had a felony warrant that I have had since 2017. I called three different law offices before I called Bens law office, and all of them were in a rush and made me feel like a burden. I didn’t even feel comfortable asking any questions because I felt so rushed. It felt like they just wanted me to pay them their fee but not ask too many questions.
But when I called and spoke to Ben, I knew immediately that he was the attorney that I would be hiring because he was patient, and explained everything in great detail. Not only that but he was just a breathe of fresh air after speaking to the other law firms. He seriously went above and beyond and just gave me a sense of relief. He didn’t make any false promises and he did exactly what he said he would do. I am BEYOND satisfied with the services of this law office and would definitely recommend them to anyone who is needed legal assistance. My warrant is now clear and Ben did everything that he said he would do.
They also kept me in the loop every step of the way. Amazing service and with every penny. Cheaper than the other law firms that I spoke with too.

Mr Bateman and his team was readily available. I'm from out of town and he was always aware and on top of things. First impression when we first met is that he was very easy to talk too and made you feel comfortable under the circumstances.

07 Jul, 2024 by Pat moran, member local local 88 sheetmetal worker's union
I have known James Dean Leavitt for twenty plus years. He has helped me out of a couple of DUI's and Speeding tickets, he was able to get my sentence's and fine's reduced. I have recommended him to several members of the Local 88 Sheet-metal Worker's Union, who have also needed legal representation on a variety of charges.
I have asked my President of my Local 88 Union to endorse him for his position as a Judge I know he will be an asset to our community.
During his term as a member of the Board of Regents, he was one of the front runners pushing to get a new stadium at or around the UNLV Campus. I hope this will enlighten more member's of our Community to take a good look at his past service and consider him as the best candidate for the Judgeship that he is trying to obtain.

My boyfriend had some serious legal charges to where he was looking at 5-10 yrs federal time and through a friend he recommended James Leavitt. After meeting with Mr. Leavitt we felt more hopeful about his case. He said he would able to get my boyfriend charges dropped to a lesser charge with no jail time and probation instead. That's exactly what happened. My boyfriend got 2 yrs probation and some community service. He definitely is a man of his word. I would recommend him to anybody that needs a no BS lawyer, tells you the truth, reliable and gives you his all attorney.

Our family had an outstanding experience with Chandon’s Law Firm while navigating the complexities of a nursing board complaint. From the very beginning, Chandon demonstrated a profound understanding of the intricacies of the situation, providing invaluable guidance and support every step of the way. I highly recommend Spartacus Law Firm to anyone facing similar challenges with a nursing board complaint or issue. His expertise, dedication, and compassionate approach transformed a stressful situation into one where we felt empowered and supported. Thank you, Chandon, for your exceptional work and for standing by our side during this critical time!

I was extremely impressed by the depth of concern Mr. Martines has for his clients. He showed me that caring about people mattered more to him then any amount of money. His focus was geared around helping in all ways, without expecting anything in return. Its a breath of fresh air in my understanding of what would comprise great representaion in a world such as Las Vegas. I highly recommend him as a truthsayer and one to rely on for awesome results.

Customer service is everything to me and it is to them. They have handled many traffic tickets(over five) for me personally over the past two years, yet i have ZERO points on my record. I've referred many people I know and they have yet to disappoint.
Process couldn't be easier and they keep you updated along the whole way, just one phone call to give them the information they need to fight the case and they handle it from there.
I will continue to use John Shimer and his Law office, you should too.

We retained Mr. Lemcke to help us navigate through challenging post-divorce child support, child custody and decree enforcement litigation. Paul is an absolute professional in every sense. He is the kind of attorney you want to represent you; highly respected by fellow attorneys and judges alike. I trusted him implicitly as he guided us through the emotional ups and downs of our family court system and he never failed. If you need an honest, knowledgeable attorney of the highest caliber, Paul is the attorney for you.

Sometimes you only have 1 chance to pick an attorney. I was facing 2-5yrs and I made the best decision of my life by hiring Steve. He was verysharp & intuitive in court and absolutely hammered the prosecutions case & witnesses. As I watched him dismantle the case against me I could only feel more and more confident as the trial went on. I was very thankful for what he did for me as it changed my life. If I ever needed another attorney he's my guy. Gregg

I just wanted to thank Dakota for all his help.

I looked over their details online and picked up the phone. I'm very thankful to have these lawyers on my side. Their experience and knowledge of real estate law is impressive. I was walked through every step of the process and given clearly defined options to choose from. I never had to figure out what was going on or happening with my case. Not feeling defenseless or confused was reassuring. If I need legal counsel or advice in the future, real estate attorney Juliet Sussman is the attorney I want to represent me.

Rarely do you find a team of real estate attorneys with such a solid record of favorable outcomes for clients. The Las Vegas Real Estate Attorneys helped me with a joint tenancy deed and the affidavit of the passing of my father. My sister and I avoided liability for a large tax fee when we sold our grandparents' property. We were guided through the process and settled the case. They saved me a substantial amount of money. Thank you! Thank you!

My dad passed away and my brother, two sisters and I had no idea where to start as my father left no directions. We consulted with several firms before coming to Anderson, Dorn and Rader on a recommendation. Mr. Rader had a remote conference with all of us (we're spread all over the country), listened to us, addressed our concerns in words we could understand and agreed to work with us. Rather than telling us to surrender our father's estate to someone we'd never met (as several other firms had) he encouraged us and agreed we should be involved. Throughout the process, Monica (Senior Paralegal) was phenomenal - always answering our questions promptly and accurately, even making suggestions on how to pursue items I wasn't aware we should be looking for. My siblings and I always felt we had an advocate throughout the process and that we'd been lucky to find the firm. They earned every penny they asked us for and they did not add on additional fees or hire external agents as we'd been quoted by other firms. Thank you so much and I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.

Not only did this firm provide advice to opposing counsel while intoxicated at at event in Reno - they regularly made me feel 100% accountable for my actions while simply protecting my young children from the Covid vaccine. My attorney and her boss, Brian, are through and through entitled liberals with no motives other than to destroy their clients that see things differently than they do. Brian hates this country, our morals, as well as those of his conservative clients. I have never felt more degraded, mortified, and slandered than I did working with him through the beginning of my divorce. If you have any scruples - stay away from this monster and the firm they have created.

Although my case didn't end as I had hoped, Brian did everything that he could to put forth the best case. From deposing my ex to see how he would answer in court to not being afraid to ask the tough questions whether of me or my ex in court. Brian is very easy to talk to, and I recommend him if you have any need for a Family Law attorney.

John has been my lawyer for at least a year now assisting with my stressful divorce. He is an honest lawyer who won't act on a request simply because you ask; if he believes it’s not the right or fair course of action, he will not proceed. He fights for what’s best and just for his clients, especially when children are involved. Although I wasn't 100% satisfied with the outcome of my divorce and custody battle. As he mentioned in every litigation, you can’t get everything you want. I trust that John’s expertise and understanding of the judge led to a fair result. He doesn't just do what you want to charge you more or unnecessary; he adheres to the law and ensures that actions are fair.
I recently hired John again for a motion that my ex and I couldn’t agree on. I chose him because I know he will act in the best interest of me and my children. John is not the type of lawyer who will simply charge you for actions without sufficient evidence or necessity. Unlike some lawyers who will do anything for a fee, John maintains a high standard of integrity and only pursues actions that are supported by adequate evidence and proof.
If you need a lawyer for custody or divorce matters, I highly recommend John Keuscher for his exceptional service.

He defended my case (and several of my friends' cases) with determination. After trying other lawyers before him, I can say he is the absolute best lawyer I have ever had. And, he genuinely cares for his clients. I am very grateful to have found him. I highly recommend this law firm.

My divorce was nothing short of the most awful and stressful part of my life. Overwhelmed and feeling as if I would loose custody of my two little ones, I reached out through a recommendation. Mr.Page was even tempered, diligent, professional, and amazingly knowledgeable about family law and the family court system here in Las Vegas. He answered my questions and explained everything clearly. Even in post divorce disputes he has provided me with excellent legal support. I truly appreciate the peace of mind he brought me during my case and through that, to my family. Anytime I need legal assistance, I will contact him first. Thank you Mr.Page.

My daughter and I hired Mr Compan before our consultation was even over. With the fear of loosing my grandchildren, her children. We went into Mr Compans office like two little kittens with our tails between our legs, swollen watery eyes from crying for weeks but let me assure you that when we walk out of there we both for the first time in weeks had smiles on our faces. He blew us away with his knowledge. Making no promises but paiting a accurate picture of what was to come. He was amazing through the entire process and we won !! He is a absolute godsend. If I ever need someone to legally back me in my fight he will be the first person I call. I could not give a higher recommendation.

We got exactly what we wanted in court and he explained everything to me from the start of how we should go about everything to get the end results that we got. He truly helped me and my children in a way I can never thank him enough for! I will Hire him for any and all court matters from now on. I can’t say it enough, he is amazing!!!

We can't say enough how wonderful an attorney and human being Mr. Compan is! He knows so many people in the judicial system and has a stellar reputation. He is highly respected and, from the way he managed our case, it was easy to see why. He was always on top of it and explained things every step of the way. He is organized, meticulous, knowledgable, and his instincts are spot on. Just that would earn him 5 stars, but on top of it, he is one of the kindest people we've ever met! He genuinely cares for his clients and gets to know them personally. You're not just a dollar sign to him. He fought for our family the way anyone would for their own relative. We highly recommend Mr. Compan!

I enjoyed working with Sydnie during my divorce, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome. From the very beginning, she was professional, understanding, and made me feel supported throughout the entire process. She took the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring I understood my options and the next steps. Her expertise in family law was evident, and she was always quick to respond to my questions, no matter how small. Thanks to her efforts, my case was resolved smoothly and fairly. I highly recommend her and Barber Law to anyone in need of a compassionate and skilled divorce lawyer.

Lance White is an incredible family attorney. I had retained him for a hearing in regards to my daughter.

Nicole is an exceptional lawyer & a consummate professional. She was a pivotal source of support and guidance for almost 2 years as she helped me navigate a divorce that continued to drag on after multiple attempts at mediation. As a fire fighter, my job responsibilities and schedule are unique, and she was able to help me articulate that when I unfortunately had to go to court. She also has deep knowledge of family and Nevada law, which proved to be hugely important in my case. I cannot recommend Nicole enough. She’s smart, sharp & dedicated & helped me protect my family & our future.

I retained Paul for legal services and he quoted me $7000.0 to go all the way through my prelim. After that he said it could be as much as $50000 going forward. I retained him with $2500.00 down payment and he agreed to $500 a month. He was near impossible to get a hold of after getting my money. He would not return calls until days later if at all. My family court lawyer said he was ghosting him as well and not returning his calls either. He said I should get a new attorney for criminal law. He never did anything for me. We spoke a total of 3 times for maybe an hour in all. He was terrible. The police showed up on a Friday and arrested me and stated that my lawyer NEVER answered his phone or returned their calls and they were trying to allow me to do a walk through and post bail but he didn't respond so they took me to jail for 14 days. When my wife told Paul Adras what the police said he told her to go get a public defender that he was not going to help me because we complained. I demanded my $2500.00 refunded and he sent me a bill for $6055.00 and said I owed him $3555.00 for unpaid services. He billed me $52.50 for ever text message we sent and voice mail we sent to him trying to get him to call us back with NO REPLY from him. A total of 43 times at $52.50. He even billed me for texting him for a refund after he fired me. This attorney is a thief, a crook and a con man. RUN AS FAR AS POSSIBLE FROM THIS SCAM ARTIST. Michael Prescott 702-817-2911

Once again I can not thank Paul and Sarah enough for the job they did for me. I would highly recommend them for all your legal needs

Val Fujii and paralegal Theresa were the best decision I ever made. I went thru a long drawn out divorce and ugly custody battel over 5 children which took a few years to finalize.

She was always a top notch professional in court and I am very proud of the results. I would highly recommend her.

Totally knowledgeable and in-the-know.

I do not have enough AMAZING things to say about Andriea and Ashley. They walked me through the process, they were quick to respond, led the whole divorce process and kept me in the loop at all times. I honestly don’t even know why what ex’s attorney did because Andriea was so on top of it. My ex would ask me to ask Andriea something knowing it would get done. My divorce was final 3 months after my first conversation with her. By the end, I felt like she was almost family and I always felt like she had my back. Another thing to note, is that Andriea know’s the law very well, so don’t think you or your ex will be able to sneak anything by her. Thank you Andriea and Ashley!

Andriea Aden is a straight shooter, no nonsense, gets it done yesterday kind of energy. She is a powerhouse of assertive fervor in the court room and worth every penny!! You better retain her before your ex does! I am not joking, that happened to my kids’ dad. Andriea has been championing my causes since my contested divorce in July 2017, and the wild ride of motions and modifications that have followed, and is still representing me today (12/14/2024).
She led the way and held my hand as I navigated my darkest times, and when it was overwhelming and I wasn’t at my best, she showed me grace. She is an exceptional attorney, and a good human. Thanks Andriea!

After an injury at work, I mistakenly thought the doctors that workmen’s comp sent me to would help me recover. Instead, I found that their loyalty was to the insurance company paying the tab.R. Trent McAuliffe helped me get the medical treatment I needed when workmen’s comp kept trying to close my case. It took a few years to go through the process, and I am grateful that I got the surgery I needed. I’m very satisfied with the results of Trent advocating for me. I wish I had consulted him when I first got injured, instead of several months later. Get a consultation with him as soon as possible, it’s in your best interest!

What a Domestic Violence Lawyer Can Do for You
A domestic violence lawyer provides legal assistance to individuals involved in cases of domestic abuse, whether you are a victim seeking protection or someone accused of domestic violence defending against the charges. These lawyers help with obtaining restraining orders (protective orders), representing clients in criminal court, and handling related family law issues such as child custody, divorce, and visitation rights.
If you are dealing with domestic violence, a lawyer can help protect your rights and navigate the legal system to ensure your safety or defend you if you’re falsely accused.
When Should I Hire a Domestic Violence Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a domestic violence lawyer if you are:
-
A Victim of Domestic Violence:
- Filing for a protective order (restraining order): If you need immediate protection from an abuser, a lawyer can help you file for a protective order, which legally requires the abuser to stay away from you and refrain from contacting you.
- Divorce or separation due to abuse: If domestic violence is a factor in your relationship, a lawyer can help you pursue a divorce or legal separation and ensure that you are protected throughout the process.
- Child custody and visitation issues: A lawyer can help you secure custody of your children and limit or restrict the abuser’s visitation rights to protect the safety of your children.
- Filing criminal charges: If you are pursuing criminal charges against the abuser, a domestic violence lawyer can work with law enforcement and prosecutors to ensure the case is handled properly.
- Assistance with safety planning: A lawyer can advise on the legal steps to create a safety plan, including securing temporary housing, and taking steps to protect you and your family.
-
Accused of Domestic Violence:
- Defending against criminal charges: If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, a lawyer can defend your case, challenge the evidence, and represent you in court. If possible, the lawyer can help get charges reduced or dismissed.
- Challenging a restraining order: If someone has obtained a protective order against you, a lawyer can help you contest the order to prevent it from negatively impacting your life, including your employment and child custody rights.
- Dealing with family law issues: Domestic violence allegations can affect child custody, divorce, and property division. A lawyer can represent your interests in family court and ensure that your parental rights are protected.
- Avoiding criminal record implications: A lawyer can work to minimize the impact of the allegations on your record, which can affect your employment, housing, and future legal matters.
Hiring a lawyer at the earliest stages can help ensure your rights are protected and the case is handled effectively, whether you are seeking protection or defending against accusations.
What Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Do?
A domestic violence lawyer provides various legal services depending on the specifics of your case. These responsibilities often include:
-
For Victims:
- Filing for protective orders: A lawyer can help victims of domestic violence obtain temporary or permanent restraining orders, which provide legal protection by restricting the abuser’s access to you and your children.
- Representing you in divorce and child custody matters: Domestic violence often leads to divorce or separation, and a lawyer can represent you in family court to protect your assets, secure custody of your children, and arrange spousal and child support.
- Criminal representation: Lawyers work with law enforcement and prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against the abuser, ensuring that you are informed and supported throughout the legal process.
- Safety planning and legal advice: Lawyers provide advice on how to stay safe legally and can assist in securing temporary housing, providing guidance on how to leave abusive situations safely.
-
For the Accused:
- Defending against charges: A lawyer will build a defense by investigating the case, gathering evidence, and challenging the claims made against you. If necessary, the lawyer can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or penalties.
- Challenging protective orders: If a restraining order has been placed against you, a lawyer can contest the order and present evidence to defend against it, aiming to minimize its impact on your life and reputation.
- Handling related family law issues: Lawyers help defend against domestic violence allegations in divorce, child custody, and visitation disputes, working to protect your parental rights and reputation.
- Preventing long-term consequences: A lawyer will work to protect you from the long-term consequences of a domestic violence conviction, such as a criminal record that could affect employment, housing, and more.
How Are Domestic Violence Lawyers Paid?
Domestic violence lawyers generally charge for their services in different ways depending on the case's complexity and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: Many domestic violence lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. Hourly rates are common for both criminal defense and family law matters.
- Flat fee: For specific tasks, such as filing a restraining order or defending against a straightforward domestic violence charge, some lawyers offer a flat fee that covers all legal work related to that service.
- Retainer: In complex cases, such as those involving criminal charges, divorce, and custody disputes, a lawyer may require a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
- Pro bono or reduced fees: Some domestic violence lawyers provide pro bono (free) or reduced-fee services to victims of domestic abuse who cannot afford legal representation.
It’s important to discuss fees during your consultation to ensure you understand how much your case will cost and what payment options may be available.

Top Questions to Ask a Domestic Violence Lawyer
Before hiring a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the right experience and approach for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with domestic violence cases?
Ensure that the lawyer has handled domestic violence cases similar to yours, whether you’re a victim or the accused. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, flat fees, or a retainer, and ask for a detailed cost estimate. -
What is the likely outcome of my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes. -
How long will the process take?
Domestic violence cases vary in length, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what might cause delays. -
Will I need to appear in court?
Ask if your participation in court is required, and how the lawyer plans to represent you during hearings or trials. -
What steps should I take to protect myself or my rights?
Whether you’re a victim seeking protection or defending against allegations, ask the lawyer how they will help you navigate the situation.
How to Check the Credibility of a Domestic Violence Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable domestic violence lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for domestic violence experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in domestic violence cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients say about their experience with the lawyer.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have been involved in domestic violence cases.
- Check for memberships in relevant organizations: Look for certifications or memberships in family law or domestic violence advocacy groups, such as the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV).
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
-
For Victims:
- Details of the abuse: Prepare a detailed account of the abuse, including dates, locations, and descriptions of any injuries or threats.
- Police reports and medical records: Bring copies of any police reports, medical records, or photographs that document the abuse.
- Legal filings: If you have already filed for a restraining order or been involved in any legal proceedings, bring copies of those documents.
- Questions about your safety and legal options: Be ready to ask about the best steps to protect yourself and your family, as well as what legal actions you should pursue.
-
For the Accused:
- Details of the allegations: Prepare a detailed account of the incident or allegations against you, including any evidence or witnesses that support your defense.
- Legal documents: Bring any legal documents you have received, such as a restraining order, criminal charges, or child custody filings.
- Questions about your defense: Prepare questions about the legal process, possible penalties, and how the lawyer plans to defend your case.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation and provide the best possible legal advice.
