I have been in private practice in Reno, Nevada for nearly 40 years.  A resume of my skills and experiences is available on request.  I have never had a bar complaint, fee dispute nor been sued by a client.  That last time I looked I had a "BV" rating with Martindale Hubble.

I cannot guarantee you a particular result in your case, but I can
guarantee you this: I will strive to get divorce and custody problems
solved efficiently, demand fair results, and give you straight answers. I
will not hesitate to speak up when someone is not playing fair or when
the other side is attempting to pigeonhole my client. At the same time, I
will be honest with you about the likelihood of success and what you
can do to increase your chances of a positive outcome.

I am one of the best attorneys in the state, top three. I do not care about an AVVO rating.. Before I begin, DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS THAT MAY INCRIMINATE YOU! IT CAN MAKE YOUR CASE WORSE! IT IS A FLAWED CONCEPT THAT YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS ON THE INTERNET AND THAT IT WON'T BE USED AGAINST YOU. THEY CAN AND WILL TRACE YOUR IP ADDRESS.  THESE RATINGS ARE PAID FOR. EXAMINE CLIENT REVIEWS NOT RATINGS.. Scroll down and view cases. Victories are the only thing that matter. If you do not win, they will not respect you and you will not get a negotiation that benefits your client. I include misdemeanor victories because your case matters to me even though the charges are small. A small charge to me is a big charge to you. I will drive a corrupt judge off the bench if necessary even if it is only a misdemeanor. By drive him off the bench, I mean he threw his hands in the air and declared a mistrial and double jeopardy attached, case dismissed. He later lost his election and is no longer a judge. You either win or you don't.. I also do not pay for my awards my industry recognition comes from the judges and colleagues with whom I practice. You can bet they recognize me.. Many criminal defense attorneys claim they are litigators. It sounds great. But litigators are those attorneys that go to trial and have gone to trial. They make their living fighting in the trenches of the legal profession. Litigators know that those clients who are not represented by those few who are familiar with the trenches, are not represented by the most capable, experienced and compelling criminal defense attorneys within the profession. There are very few real litigators. Most cases settle or resolve without litigation.. You do not have to take my word for it. I am a litigator. Evidence of my victories hangs on my wall for everyone to see for themselves. It is the only way a person hiring an attorney can know for sure that he or she is in fact hiring a litigator. I give free consultations so people may see how I present in court, how I articulate my thoughts and they can see for themselves who they are choosing to hire. Would you buy a car if they charged you money to view it? Of course not, you would think that dishonest.. I am the only one that answers my phone. I am available 24 hours a day seven days a week and if you want legal advice i will give it for free. If you like me, then you can hire me. But you won't speak to a secretary.. None of my fees are represented by this site. This site does not give me the option of explaining my fees. Call me I will give you as much information as I can, for free. I am confident you will hire me if you speak with me. Preliminary legal knowledge before you hire a lawer is paramount.

Holly E. Estes, Esq., is an experienced chapter 11 reorganization attorney who has been certified as a Business Bankruptcy Law specialist by the American Board of Certification - the nation's premier legal specialty certification organization.. While in law school, Ms. Estes accepted an externship working with then Chief Bankruptcy Judge Mike K. Nakagawa.  It was at that time and through that experience that she fully began to appreciate the bankruptcy system and knew that she wanted to become a bankruptcy practitioner.. After graduating from the William S. Boyd School of Law, Ms. Estes began a clerkship with Bankruptcy Judge Gregg W. Zive.  During that time Ms. Estes, among other tasks, researched and drafted the Ninth Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel Opinion, Honkanen v. Hopper (In re Honkanen), 446 B.R. 373 (9th Cir. BAP 2011) with Judge Zive, sitting pro tem for the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel.  Next, Ms. Estes accepted a clerkship with Bankruptcy Judge Bruce T. Beesley.  It was through her clerkships that her practice skills began to sharpen and Ms. Estes truly began to understand the complicated inner workings of a chapter 11 reorganization case.. After her clerkship experiences, Ms. Estes began her career in private practice. Throughout her practice, Ms. Estes has strived to achieve the best results for her clients.  Ms. Estes has successfully represented corporations, limited liability companies, individuals, partnerships, bankruptcy trustees, creditors and purchasers of bankruptcy estate assets in chapter 11 reorganization and chapter 7 bankruptcy cases. One of the highlights of her practice thus far has been arguing before the Ninth Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel with successful results for her clients.  Village at Lakeridge v. U.S. Bank, N.A. (In re Village at Lakeridge), Argued April 5, 2013; Weilert v. Gwartz (In re Weilert), Argued June 23, 2016.

Before forming Lance White Law, I was an owner and partner of Widdis and White, a family law firm.  Prior to that, I served as a Family Court Master for the Second Judicial District Court in Washoe County. In that role, I heard over 16,000 cases involving a myriad of family law issues, including child support enforcement, domestic violence and protection orders, juvenile guardianships, and juvenile dependency cases. I also have experience with juvenile delinquency, divorce, custody, visitation, and adoption cases.. In deciding a case, a judicial officer must know the law, know the facts, and be able to understand both sides of every argument. I carry that ability with me into private practice. I will give you an objective, honest opinion about your case and not just tell you what I think you want to hear.. I attended Case Western Reserve University School of Law in Cleveland, Ohio. After I graduated, I served as a Judicial Law Clerk to three different Family Court Judges here in Reno, Nevada. Through that experience, I came to realize how important the “legal" side of the family legal system is, and how important it is to have a strong and compassionate advocate on your side.. I have been licensed to practice law in Nevada since 2006 and have appeared in Federal Court and State District Court throughout the State of Nevada.   I have also served as a Judicial Law Clerk to three different Family Court Judges. I am also a Certified Mediator through the National Judicial College.  If you'd like to discuss mediation as a possibility in your case, let me know.. The decisions made in family court affect your entire life, forever. They affect the relationships you have with your spouse, your partner, your parents, your family, your children - and those are the most important things in life.. I believe that being a good lawyer also means being a good teacher. Helping clients understand what’s happening and explaining legal matters in a straightforward way is one of the best parts of being an attorney. I have taught family law issues locally, at the statewide Nevada Family Law Conference, and at national judicial conferences. I also taught aspiring paralegals at a local career college.. My greatest adventures have been climbing in Antarctica, hiking Monte Fitz Roy in Argentina, skydiving, and parenting two rowdy boys - the most dangerous and important adventure of all.

As the saying goes, ‘The only thing that is certain in life is death and taxes.’ thus, no outcome in a criminal case can be guaranteed. If I am retained I can promise excellent representation. With my 25 years of experience in criminal law, I understand that the representation of your case is vital to the lives of both you and your loved ones. I am committed to take a personal approach on each and every case I represent. Whether it is a stressful DUI or a serious murder case, you will have my undivided attention. The personal part of representation is what I strive to excel at. I will take into account the personal aspects of your case and make every effort to alleviate any stress or anxiety. The most gratifying part of my job is helping a client, who has made a bad decision, navigate through the difficult times and come out on the other side better for it.”
