Legal Elite 2015: Nevada’s Top Attorneys

$
0
0

The following pages list Nevada’s top attorneys as chosen by their peers. This year’s poll had the highest level of participation of any year with over 7,000 nominations. Polling for the Legal Elite feature began in February of this year and attorneys were permitted to nominate their peers based on a number of criteria. The results, featured in the following pages, highlight the top vote receivers in Northern Nevada, Southern Nevada, the Best Up and Coming attorneys and the top Government attorneys.

The State Bar of Nevada’s 2014 Annual Report affirms that there are 8,680 active member attorneys. Of that number, 3,527 members reported 122,647 hours of direct pro bono representation and 1,288 members reported 87,720 hours of service to the community through law related activities. It’s clear that attorneys in the Silver State are active, valuable members of the community.

This year’s list features 300 attorneys on the Northern and Southern Nevada lists, one-third of whom represent the north end of the state. In addition, nearly 50 Best Up and Coming attorneys are included and just over 20 Government attorneys are listed. In order to be included, attorneys passed several levels of scrutiny. After nominations closed, ballots were reviewed for eligibility and each voting attorney was vetted through the State Bar of Nevada to confirm their good standing.

Nominated lawyers were scored based on the number and type of votes they received. Nominations from attorneys at other firms received a scoring of three points and nominations from the same firm received one point. After final scores were tabulated, the top scorers were then verified again and contacted to finalize the Legal Elite list. The following pages feature the best attorneys as nominated by their peers.

The top vote getters in each category are featured on the cover of this issue and include Bradley Austin of Snell & Wilmer from the Best Up and Coming honorees, Courtney O’Mara with Fennemore Craig from the Northern Nevada honorees and John Gutke with Fox Rothschild from the Southern Nevada list.

Congratulations to all of the attorneys that made it into the 2015 Legal Elite.
