Our family had a case of bed bugs in South Carolina. The Law Firm team worked with us, transferred our case to the correct domestic law office, and we received our settlement agreement. We appreciate their professionalism and their ability to help us. We recommend this law office to everyone. Communication was easy, and all paperwork was processed electronically. They always responded to our questions. Thank you.

Attention Real Estate Investors:
I felt obligated to write this review for any fellow Nevadan investor considering the firm. Now I can’t speak for the entire firm. I worked specifically with Taylor Simpson. He was referred by a very talented and trusted associate in real estate, so I didn’t bother reading any reviews prior to visiting the office.
In any event, I gave 2 stars because he’s appears to be a nice and competent lawyer. I have to assume his morals, workload or maybe laziness prevented him from doing his job in my case.
During our initial consultation he listened patiently and although it took an hour long dialogue to get on the same page, I left confident that he completely understood my request. He charged a flat fee, which I thought included 3 documents. I found it reasonable, given the time we spent discussing the documents I needed updated. I took a photo of what was discussed and the documents to be delivered. It wasn’t that I didn’t trust him, I just don’t have the best memory and wanted to make sure I recalled what was discussed. I paid upfront…a mistake on my part….keep reading..
I was told it was 3 hours worth of work and I could expect the updated contracts and addendum in a week. 3 weeks passed and I had a property under contract that would use this specific deal structure, so I gave the office a call for an update. I called the front desk clerk 3 times that week and she was always polite and tried to get Mr. Simpson on the phone. She also explained he was out with COVID. Not to be callous, but I don’t see how that stops a young, healthy lad like him from reviewing a contract. I didn’t say this, but it was what I was thinking. In any event, another week and a half passed.
Note: If you’re tracking this was about 5 weeks after I sat down with him for 2 documents to be updated and one created. All of which was supposed to take 3 hours, as stated by Mr. Taylor.
Back to the story….now I finally got the paperwork back and nothing in the document really changed. It was effectively reformatted and a bunch of clauses added to protect the other party. He claimed that a few were intended to protect my interest, but were already included in the original document with different verbiage. When questioned on all the paragraphs added to protect the other party….crickets….literally no response…..
I asked whether a clause could be added and is enforceable in Nevada, since he apparently was too busy to respond….again…crickets….
I called the front desk….she was very polite as usual…told me he had just left for lunch and would get back to me……again…you guessed it crickets…..
So I paid Mr. Simpson above $999 to review documents and got a document that only protected the other party with no further explanation….I wont give the exact amount because I’m sure they’re rates will change with inflation running so hot….
My point is….Mr. Simpson…although seemingly intelligent and polite….either allows his morals to get in the way of doing his job….is unable to be fully transparent with his clients….is unable to have an honest dialogue….is uncomfortable with challenges via email…or just takes your money and chooses not to deliver…if you’re not a big ticket case…either way its not good for the typical real estate investor….Had I been a guy discussing a 100+ units, he may have handled it differently…money always talks in this town…but who knows…..
Maybe be cautious and work with the firm when you have a very expensive case….and never pay the entire amount upfront…ask me how I know….Happy Investing.

Disappointed in the way Mr Thomson handled my boyfriend's case. If you take on a case and your client has OVER WHELMING evidence of wrong doing, along with a clear picture of what your client asks for, that means you believe in the case. You take it and fight for your client. Mr. Thomson asked for money with NO breakdown of costs or a bill. When confronted about his billing practices, he avoided the question. He said you can do things along the way to save on costs and made a promise to only take a certain amount of money from the PRESURED settlement, which he was told he could talk at and in the end told to be quiet and not allowed to speak. A promise and a hand shake to only take a certain amount of money should mean something. In the end he lied! Not right, do the right thing and and give him the money you owe him..

I was referred to this attorney by the Nevada State Bar Lawyer Referral service. After spending some time explaining my situation to his assistant, i was told that he would get back to me to give me a 1/2 hour consult for the fee of $45 as was outlined to me by the NSB Lawyer referral service. Some time later I received a call from his assistant where she informed me that he would not give me a consult, but when I asked for what reason and on what basis he refused to fulfill his commitment to the bar association, she said he did not say. In other words, he provided me no reason nor any basis for denying me this service for which he received a referral. This individual does not deserve to receive referrals from the Bar Association, and I can't imagine he is worthy of your trust and/or business. It's time for people to call out these callous, self-serving, unprofessional cads out there pretending to be decent human beings with no uncertain terms. John W. Thompson DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE A LAWYER IN THE STATE OF NEVADA OR ANY OTHER STATE, IMO.

MY EXPERIENCE With Thomson. was nothing but stressful ,professional I would say not! For 4 years I paid him without ever receiving one bill from him and at the end he flat out lied to me, To save him self, He settle my case for 1\3rd of what i spent and he still owes me $8500 out of the settlement. That I have been trying to collect for over a year! I do not know how these attorney sleep at night. DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!
