Now in its eleventh iteration, Legal Elite presents Nevada’s top attorneys as chosen by their peers. This annual list showcases the attorneys the legal industry has named as the best of the best. Polling for Legal Elite 2018 began at the end of February and nearly 6,000 nominations were submitted by licensed attorneys in Nevada. Each submission then went through an extensive verification process resulting in the top attorneys in the state, chosen by their peers and presented in the following pages.
The State Bar of Nevada’s Annual Report for 2017 indicates that there are nearly 9,000 active member attorneys in Nevada and new attorneys are being trained every year at UNLV’s Boyd School of Law each year.
The Legal Elite list includes only the top 3 percent of attorneys in the state broken down by location. In addition, Legal Elite includes special lists ranking Nevada’s best “Up and Coming” and best government attorneys.
It’s not easy for an attorney to make it on to the final list. Each nominee went through several levels of verification and scrutiny before being approved to appear on this list. Upon the nomination process closing, each ballot was individually reviewed for eligibility and every voting attorney was verified with the State Bar of Nevada.
Once a vote was verified, each nominee was reviewed for eligibility and then scored. Scores were compiled based on the number and type of votes received. Attorneys that garnered votes from within their own firm were given a score of one and those that received a vote from someone at another firm were given a weighted score of three. After each attorney’s scores were tabulated, the top scorers were then verified again and contacted to finalize the 2018 Legal Elite list.
Those that were among the top vote getters are featured on the cover of this issue. Those featured are Matthew Addision with McDonald Carano from the Northern Nevada list, Nedda Ghandi with Ghandi Deeter Blackham from the Southern Nevada list and Tyre Gray with Fennemore Craig from the Best Up and Coming list.
Congratulations to all of the distinguished attorneys featured among the 2018 Legal Elite.
