John was born in New York City, where he lived until his family relocated to New Jersey shortly before junior high school.  Following high school, John attended college in Baltimore  at Loyola College in Maryland, now Loyola University in Maryland, where he earned a B.A. in Political Science in 1995.  John then attended law school at Seton Hall University School of Law, in New Jersey, where he obtained a J.D. in 1999.  After law school, John relocated to Las Vegas, where he served a judicial intership with the Hon. Ron Parraguirre in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County.  John has been admitted to the State Bar of New Jersey since 1999, and the State Bar of Nevada since 2001.. For the past 12 years, John has devoted his career to litigation and trial work, which has included rather diverse areas of practice.  During that time, John has participated in over 20 jury and bench trials ranging from personal injury and insurance coverage disputes to contract and real estate matters, including eminent domain litigation.  John has further arbitrated hundreds of cases over that same period.  John has the distinction of obtaining one of the few known punitive damage awards against a escrow/title company that was operating illegally in Nevada.. When it comes to personal injury and insurance disputes, John's career began with defending insurance companies and their insureds.  John later put the knowledge and experience he obtained over the years as an insurance defense lawyer to work on behalf of injured people.  The experience John has gained on both sides of injury and insurance cases has given him a unique perspective that enables him to consider each case on its own merits in order to give his clients a realistic evaluation of the likelihood of success;  whether case should settle or proceed to trial.. John's practice today primarily involves representing plaintiffs in personal injury litigation, whether it arises from a motor vehicle collision, premises liability matters such as slip and falls, defectively manufactured products, or insurance disputes such as uninsured or underinsured motorists coverage and bad faith litigation.. When he's not working, John spends his time with his wife, Jennifer, a graduate of Cimarron Memorial High School and UNLV, his two year old son Benjamin, and their two golden retrievers, Bailey and Daisy.  He remains a perpetually tortured but loyal fan of the New York Jets.

I have been featured as an alumni guest speaker at Harvard Law School, and as a guest presenter at the International Academy of Design and Emerson College.. The personal side: “I grew up in the Niagara region of Ontario, Canada, spending much of my childhood on a farm outside a steeltown about 15 miles from Buffalo, New York. My mother’s family were mostly union iron and steelworkers, my father a military officer.  During my teen years, things got more exciting and through a random series of events I was able to spend time in Germany with my father, and later attended boarding school in New Zealand and then college in Hawaii.  I developed a strong affinity for the people and cultures of Polynesia, and even performed in Samoan and Maori culture dance troupes.. During college I took two years off to serve a religious mission in Seattle, Washington, where I worked solely with the Spanish-speaking immigrants in the metro Seattle area.  We not only taught doctrine but helped people find jobs, establish social groups and make new friends, get furniture for their empty homes, and helped people integrate and build lives in America.  Their problems were our problems, and those years working with Latin families in their homes gave me invaluable insight into the communities and the struggles of Hispanic immigrants to the USA.  It was also in Seattle that I first considered being an attorney - I never even knew any lawyers before then… a big departure from wanting to be an artist.  I returned to Hawaii, changed majors from Visual Art to International Business, and worked on getting into law school.. When I went to law school at Harvard, I was the only person who said they wanted to be a plaintiff’s lawyer; a friend who is an injury lawyer won me over with stories about his cases helping severely injured people.  I was also the only person in the whole class to start their own practice right away, as soon as I was licensed I formed my first practice.  And I’ve been proud to help people who have been injured, people accused of crimes, families in financial trouble, artists and small business owners with intellectual property issues and more.  I like working with people and now enjoy the ‘counselor’ role of the attorney.. I’m married with three young children.  I enjoy movies and documentaries, photography and graphic design, exotic sports cars and languages.  Still dabbling in Photoshop and typography, I also created the infamous Hello Kitty Ferrari that went around the internet.”

I love helping people and my position at the Cardenas Law Group gives me the opportunity to do just that. We call ourselves boutique, but all that means is that we provide a personal touch that is unmatched.. Taylor was born in Henderson, Nevada and has lived in Clark County his whole life. Taylor earned his Juris Doctor degree from the William S. Boyd School of Law in Las Vegas, Nevada, and his Bachelor of Arts in History, from the University of Nevada Las Vegas.

I love cats, art and my children.  Not necessarily in that order, (although now that all of my children/step-children are teenagers it depends what day you ask me!) It is therefore probably no surprise that my passions, (aside from my law firm), are animal welfare, art and education.  I volunteer for a local all-volunteer cat rescue, I am on the board of Directors of a non-profit art gallery, and I am one of the parent representatives on the School Organizational Team (S.O.T.) of one of my son’s schools for the second year in a row.  I believe it is my dedication to my family and local community that have helped make me a good lawyer. I was born and educated in England.  I was the first member of my family to attend university and I worked as a barmaid throughout college and Law School to help support myself.  I graduated from the University of East Anglia with a Bachelor’s Degree in Law in 1994.  I then attended Nottingham Law School before completing a two year training contract with National Law firm Shoosmiths Solicitors.  At the time it was incredibly difficult to find a training contract and I took a job working in the mail room at Shoosmiths while I continued to apply for training contracts.  I was told in no uncertain terms that this summer job would NOT lead to a training contract but I have always been stubborn, (as my father will tell you!)   I was given a training contract after a few months and I spent six months in each of the four main departments and gained experience in Corporate Law, Commercial Litigation, Commercial Property and Personal Injury. I was admitted to the roll and became a Solicitor, (the English equivalent of an attorney), in 1997.   I worked as an Assistant Solicitor in a small law firm called Cordell & Co. specializing in Personal Injury, from September 1997 through March 2001.  I handled approximately 350 cases at any one time, supervised junior members of staff and I helped set up policies and procedures to streamline the firm. In March 2001, I founded Fishers Solicitors, (my maiden name is Fisher), a firm committed exclusively to handling personal injury cases arising out of motor vehicle accidents.  As the sole Director and Shareholder, I helped grow the firm to over 50 members of staff.  In 2002, I moved to Las Vegas, although I maintained my interest in Fishers Solicitors until it closed in 2012.. I started Terry Law Group, PC ("TLG") in 2013 We handle all types of injury cases including motor vehicle accidents, pedestrian accidents, animal bites, product liability, boating accidents, elder abuse, wrongful death, dental malpractice, food poisoning, slip and fall, assault and battery, negligent security, bed bug bites and mold or other habitability cases. I am as passionate about getting justice and fair compensation for my clients as I am about every other aspect of my life. I have some understanding of what it is like to be injured, (I suffered a compound fracture of my tibia in an accident which required two surgeries over two years).  I have been practicing law for 20 years and I am dedicated to listening to my clients’ needs, providing honest, straightforward advice and walking my clients through the difficult and often lengthy process after an accident so they do not feel alone. TLG – it’s as close to TLC as I could make it.
