John is a seasoned Nevada trial attorney who began his legal career defending constitutional rights in both state and federal courts, including appearances before the Nevada Supreme Court. Over time, he transitioned to representing individuals injured due to negligence, focusing on securing justice for victims facing life-altering consequences.

One of John’s early high-profile cases involved a client injured during a riot at a hip-hop concert. He successfully proved that the concert promoter had understaffed the venue, prioritizing profit over public safety — resulting in a large settlement after initial denial of liability.
