Kendra Jepsen - Reno Business Lawyer Reviews & Ratings

Attorney Kendra Jepsen is a Nevada native, raised in the Reno-Sparks area. She attended Bishop Manogue Catholic High School and went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in History at the University of Nevada, Reno, maintaining her listing on the Dean’s Academic Honors list for four consecutive semesters.. After graduation it was important for Kendra to remain in Nevada to continue her graduate education. She was accepted into the William S. Boyd School of Law at the University of Nevada Las Vegas where she earned her Juris Doctorate Degree and subsequently passed the Nevada State Bar to become a licensed Attorney in the state of Nevada.. Kendra has long had a passion for Family Law and Justice. During Law School she served as the Executive Vice President of the Public Interest Law Association and was a Student Attorney at the Family Justice Legal Clinic.. Additionally, Kendra worked as a law clerk for the Federal Public Defenders office, The Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada, as well as interned for Nevada Legal Services, and The Supreme Court of Nevada.. Once licensed Kendra began an AmeriCorps Legal Fellowship with Nevada Legal Services in which she represented underserved clients with record-sealing and helping overcome other legal barriers to employment. Kendra very quickly became the “go to” authority within the Southern Nevada legal community for her knowledge with this niche legal service.. Settling in Reno was always the goal. Kendra was selected out of a highly competitive field to work as a Law Clerk in the Washoe County Second Judicial District Court for the Honorable Egan Walker. Judge Walker presided over Department Two of the Washoe County Family Court, and Kendra became a quick study of the Family Court system in Northern Nevada, gaining knowledge and insight of different Family Law issues that can only be garnered from this unique perspective. When Judge Walker was appointed to Department Seven of the Second Judicial District Court, Kendra followed Judge Walker to the general jurisdiction and remained his Law Clerk for the remainder of her term.. When not representing clients, Kendra enjoys spending time with family and friends, taking advantage of the many festivals and activities in Reno, hiking with her Husband and dogs in the Truckee Meadows and Tahoe area and traveling to relax and widen her perspective on life.
