The Firm is committed to serving our clients throughout the Southwestern United States, and to bolster that commitment, we opened an office in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2007.  Since opening the office, the Firm has already been retained to serve as litigation defense counsel in several high profile construction projects in Las Vegas, totaling over $25 billion in construction value, including the McCarran Airport Expansion Project, the Wynn Encore, the Fontainebleau Hotel and Casino, the Queensridge Place, the Echelon Resort and Casino, and the Plaza Las Vegas.  The Firm’s Las Vegas practice primarily serves our construction, real estate development, and insurer clients.  

the Firm recently added Michael C. Hetey, a Senior Counsel and resident of Las Vegas.  Mr. Hetey attended the State University of New York at Buffalo receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree, Cum Laude in 1992.  Mr. Hetey went on to attend Albany Law School of Union University in Albany, New York, receiving his Juris Doctor degree in 1995.  Mr. Hetey’s practice focuses on civil litigation representing and defending individuals and entities (including local, regional and national companies) in construction related litigation, general insurance defense matters, self insured matters, arbitrations and mediations.  In addition to Mr. Hetey and Robert Katz, several of our Los Angeles-based partners are also active members of the Nevada bar.
