Free Probate Seminar with Matthew Pfau Through PBS

Our clients and potential clients are smart. They realize that in some circumstances, it doesn’t make sense to hire an attorney. They have already talked to the insurance adjuster of the at-fault driver, and the adjuster has been really friendly and may even have already offered some settlement amount. If they’re already offering to pay, why would you hire an attorney who is just going to take a portion of the eventual settlement?

In my experience, the best lawyers are great communicators. This is particularly true for litigators. True, you must have a strong grasp on law and procedure. Without it, your communication efforts won’t get very far off the ground. However, I am talking about the difference between good and GREAT lawyers.

When it comes to spreading Christmas/holiday cheer, which greeting should you use? Should you opt for the broader and more socially acceptable “happy holidays,” or should you stick with the more traditional but somewhat controversial “Merry Christmas?”

We’ve made it a yearly tradition to send Christmas and Holiday Greetings to our friends, clients, and associates through a fun Video Christmas Card.

Curious about what probate law is? Want to know what will happen with your assets if you pass away in Nevada without a will or trust? On Wednesday, October 14, 2015, Matthew Pfau will be offering a free legal seminar to answer these and other probate questions you may have.

Being an advocate in the law—a lawyer—is a time-honored and noble profession preceded by giants like Abraham Lincoln, Francis Bacon, Thomas More, Alexander Hamilton, and Ben Stein. Nowadays, to become a lawyer, most states require (1) graduation from an accredited law school, (2) passage of the state-administered bar exam, and (3) proof of good moral character. But the prerequisites for a license to practice law were not always so uniform or demanding.

We started Pickard Parry Pfau with a vision. Each of us had worked for a number of years before we formed the firm and were familiar with the “typical” attorney. The stereotypical attorney is stuffy, aloof, and takes him- or herself far too seriously. (This may be part of the reason attorneys are 3.6 times more likely to have depression than non-lawyers and have an alarmingly high suicide rate. Nevada’s attorneys have not been immune.)

The Nevada Assembly Judiciary Committee advanced a number of bills on April 10, 2015, the deadline for doing so. Included in those bills wasAB-263, a bi-partisan measure principally drafted and argued by Family Law Attorney Keith Pickard and vetted by more than a dozen leading Nevada family law attorneys.
