Steven Klearman - Reno Personal Injury Lawyer Reviews & Ratings

Steven Klearman Bio
I'm a trial lawyer with a long background in Nevada law and I've fought for justice for my clients in Nevada courts for more than 36 years.. I have an extensive background in serious injury cases and I've handled many wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases in my career working on behalf of Nevada injury victims.. My firm handles all injury cases, both large and small, and prides itself on fair and excellent service. When you come to my firm, you meet with me and I handle your case with the support of an experienced and friendly staff and a network of consultants including nurses, doctors, and investigators.. I came to Nevada in 1988 and worked for five years under the supervision of former Nevada Governor, Robert List, at what was then Beckley, Singleton, DeLanoy, Jemison and List. (Beckley, Singleton merged with Lewis and Roca in 2008). I later served as Managing Shareholder of Barber, Klearman and Associates.  Since 2005, I've been the Managing Shareholder of Steven J. Klearman & Associates, a civil litigation law firm located in Reno, Nevada, and I practice primarily in the area of injury law. I've handled more than 2000 injury cases and my firm is constantly involved in fighting out cases within the Nevada court system.. I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. I studied as a fellowship student of Mandarin Chinese in Taipei, Taiwan (and got to live in Taipei for more than a year) before I earned my B.A.,magna cum laude, from the University of Missouri.. Then I studied international law at the University of Notre Dame’s Concannon Programme of International Law in London (and lived in London for more than a year) before I received my J.D. from Washington University School of Law in St. Louis.. I completed Harvard Law School’s mediator training course in 2000.  I was subsequently appointed as a mediator in the United States District Court, District for Nevada.  I am also a court-appointed arbitrator in the Washoe County District Court system and regularly hear cases and make decisions with jurisdiction up to $50, plus fees and costs.. My articles on various aspects of law have appeared in publications both in the U.S. and abroad, including The Nevada Lawyer and The Federal Bar News and Journal. My first Nevada legal guide, Elements of Nevada Legal Theories (now in its 15h Anniversary Fourth Edition), is considered by many to be a definitive guide to Nevada law; it is widely used by Nevada judges and attorneys.  I've also published three other legal guides: Nevada Statutes of Limitation, Nevada Evidence Law, and Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure.. I've been an active member of the State Bar since I became licensed.  I've served as Vice-Chair of the Nevada State Bar’s Northern Nevada Disciplinary Board and I was a member, for many years, of Nevada’s Medical Screening Panel and Nevada’s Revised Jury Instruction Committee. I was also the long-time Chair of the Nevada State Bar’s Consumer Protection Committee.. Nevada's my home and I'm happy to be here. I'm a hiker, a cyclist and a snowboarder and my wife and I love to four-wheel throughout Nevada when we have time.... If you've been injured in an accident, come see what sets our firm apart...
