Fields of Law
We concentrate our law practice in the following areas:
We are pioneers of claims related to toxic mold exposure in the State of Nevada on behalf of those who have suffered personal injury and property damage as a result of water intrusion and mold contamination. We have successfully represented hundreds of injured people related to their and their property's exposure to mold contamination in single family homes, office buildings, apartment homes, and condominiums. We handle all of your mold related claims, including construction defects, property damage, personal injury, and homeowner's insurance claims. We hold reckless home builders, property owners and managers, environmental professionals, remediation companies, and homeowner's insurance companies accountable for their actions and your injuries and damages.

Renter's Rights/Eviction Defense
Landlord-Tenant Law is complicated. Whether you are renting an apartment home, a condominium, or a house, you rely on the landlord and property manager to provide you and your family with a safe place to live and to properly make repairs to your home when something goes wrong. But, one thing is generally common among landlords and property managers: their arrogance and indifference toward you, the tenant. From the landlord and property manager perspective, you are a rent check every month and the more money they put into maintenance and repairs, the less profit they make on your rent check. Moreover, landlords and property managers are keenly aware of the fact that they have far greater resources to protect their rights and interests than you do to protect yours. Landlords and property managers heavily rely on the fact that you are likely less legally sophisticated than they are and that you do not have the knowledge or financial power to enforce your rights against them. And, they have teams of lawyers protecting them. Shouldn't you? Representing yourself is ineffective and very risky. We can level the playing field with your landlord and property manager and enforce your legal rights against them. We have been handling renters' cases for years. And, we know how to defend against eviction notices. Click HERE to read about us in the news on Landlord-Tenant matters.

Real Estate Failure to Disclose
Our law firm routinely pursues sellers of real property and their real estate agents and brokers who fail to disclose known dangerous or defect conditions in the properties they sell to innocent buyers. In addition, we take down so-called "house-flippers" who commit acts of cover up and non-disclosure in order to line their own pockets with your money. Undisclosed and covered up defects can be danderous to your family and expensive to repair. Actions against these real estate defendants seek recovery of repair costs, diminshed value of the home, and statutory penalties from responsible sellers, agents, and brokers.

Did you know that your condominium and townhouse HOA is legally responsible to repair your unit in the event of damage from water or fire? Most HOA and community managers pretend someone else is responsible for the repairs, including you. Sometimes HOA's even fine unit owners for not making their own repairs when the HOA is statutorily responsible for the repairs. Don't be misled by your HOA and Community Manager. Let us help you force the HOA to make the required repairs for you. Click HERE to find out more.

Unsafe Workplace/OSHA/Whistleblower Protection
Our law firm successfully represents workers forced to occupy hazardous work areas and suffer exposure to:
- Water damage and damp conditions
- Mold
- Asbestos
- Lead
- Chemicals
- Other environmental hazards
Often, workers that speak up to their employers or others such as OSHA regarding workplace exposure hazards become the target of retaliation by their employers and even termination. The law provides workers with protections from exposure to environmental hazards on the job and further establishes safeguards against employer retaliation for "whistleblowing" on the hazards. We can help you if you have been, or currently are, exposed to environmental hazards at your work, have already "blown the whistle," are being retaliated against by your employer, or are being discriminated against due to a disability related to your wortplace exposure. We can also help if you have been wrongfully terminated from your employment. Do not sign a "severance agreement" before you talk to us.
