Sep 09, 2025

LAS VEGAS and RENO-TAHOE – Snell & Wilmer is pleased to announce that 19 attorneys from its Nevada offices have been named to the 2025 edition of Mountain States Super Lawyers. Among those honored, 13 attorneys earned recognition on the Rising Stars list.

Super Lawyers highlights attorneys across more than 70 practice areas who have achieved significant professional accomplishments and earned the respect of their peers. Selection is determined through a rigorous, multi-step process involving independent research, peer nominations, and peer evaluations. The publication, first released in 1991 by Law & Politics and later acquired by Thomson Reuters in 2010, continues to be a trusted resource for identifying distinguished attorneys.

The following Nevada Snell & Wilmer attorneys were selected for inclusion in the 2025 Mountain States Super Lawyers rankings:
