Welcome to Leonard Law, PC
A solo law practice focused on advocacy and mediation.
After spending 16 years at one of Nevada’s largest law firms, I formed Leonard Law to foster my no-nonsense approach to the law while addressing my clients’ needs in the most cost-effective manner. My philosophy is to bring strong subject-matter expertise and a large dose of practical thinking to every matter I take on. With thorough research and careful analysis, I offer clients a logical view of the possible consequences they may face at every decision point.
My background as a scientist, teacher and mediator, combined with my extensive legal experience, give me a multi-dimensional perspective of legal issues that few other lawyers can claim. It’s this background that helps me navigate through varied obstacles and often-conflicting stakeholder interests to reach solutions that have the greatest net benefit. Whatever the challenge, I am a thoughtful advisor, a persuasive advocate, an effective negotiator and a creative mediator.

Areas of Practice
appeals
As the Lead Editor of the Nevada Appellate Practice Manual, you could say I literally “wrote the book” on appeals in Nevada, earning acknowledgement from the former Chief Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court.
water and land
Having the unique experience of working as a biologist before becoming a lawyer, I am well positioned to assist clients with a host of water and other resource-related issues.
mediation
As a trained mediator I have successfully assisted parties to resolve all manner of disagreements, from complex business litigation to attorney-client fee disputes.
“Effective problem solving comes from a willingness to take a big-picture view of the law while being attentive to the needs and desires of all those who are affected by it.”
