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...

I married my high school sweetheart Cheryl Bianucci in 1984 and 35 years later we are as happy as ever.  Our oldest Daughter Kylie recently married her college sweetheart Mitch, our daughter Abby attends UNR, and our son Drew is preparing to spend two years in Africa giving service to the people of Ghana.. I love spending time with my family, watching my kids develop their talents, and when I can find a little free time, fly fishing.  I consider the amazing Truckee River flowing through the heart of our town as a gift to be enjoyed and protected.  Since I don’t often find time to fish, I like to grab a sandwich to eat by the river while I enjoy its beauty.

I have been practicing law in Reno for over 34 years.. We pride ourselves on being responsive to client needs.. We offer AGGRESSIVE  and competent litigation services.. We have the experience and skills to handle complex business and other commercial cases.. I practice in all courts in the state of Nevada.. We do elder exploitation cases. these are very difficult, as IMMEDIATE action is almost always required.. We are not like other lawyers

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 have been helping people with personal injury cases since 1994 . Dealing with insurance companies is not easy, and they are going to do everything that they can to defeat your claim. Before starting my firm, I worked as an attorney for the insurance companies. I gained valuable insight into how they approach these cases and I will use this knowledge to get you a fair offer. I handle all types of personal injury matters. I am a solo practitioner. That means when you work with me, you get to work side-by-side with a lawyer who has spent his entire legal career handling personal injury cases. There is no junior associate or paralegal who is actually doing the work in your case. I know this is not the way the big flashy firms with million dollar advertising campaigns operate. You will not be handed off to an associate and become just another client in their machine. You are important to me and I will take the time to get to know you and your case and dedicate myself to helping you along every step of your case.

I have a diverse background.  I spent five years teaching before attending law school and bring my empathy and creativity from that experience to my law practice.  I am an experienced litigtor.  I spent many years attending court proceedings on a daily basis.  I am here to fight for your rights and provide you with peace of mind as I help you navigate through your legal challenge.  I run a boutique law firm so that you have personalized, individualized service from me.

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.
