I was born and raised in Las Vegas. I graduated from Eldorado High School. I am an Eagle Scout, and also an Honorably Discharged Veteran of the United States Army. After the completion of my service in the military, I became a construction superintendent in Las Vegas during a major period of growth for the city. Following this, I went to college at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) and became a law clerk for a local law firm. Once I earned my bachelor's degree in political science with a focus in public law, and I entered law school with the aspiration to one day have my own legal practice.
Following law school in 2010, I passed the Nevada Bar Exam in 2011 and immediately opened my business, The Jacks Law Group, PLLC. For more than a decade, my firm has focused on Personal Injury Law and Family Law. Throughout the time I have spent in practice, I have represented hundreds of clients all across Clark County. To the best of my knowledge, I am also the only attorney in existence who is a graduate of The Trial Lawyer's College and also a graduate of the National Family Law Trial Institute. With the skills I learned at these prestigious programs, I represent clients for personal injury, divorces, and child custody cases.
In May of 2019, I also became a Pro Tempore Hearing Master for the Eighth Judicial District Court in the Temporary Protection Order (TPO) Court. I am called to serve the community in a judicial capacity on average a couple days a month.
As an attorney, I try to embody dedication, both to my clients and to the practice of law. I am committed to providing excellent legal representation and guidance to my clients as they navigate the complex legal system.
