A tenacious and brilliant advocate who exceeded all expectations

I was referred to Tabetha Nakagawa at Marquis Aurbach during a complex dispute with a former business partner over a dissolved LLC. While her official experience is listed as two years, her deep familiarity with the firm and Nevada commercial law was immediately apparent. She explained that she had clerked at the firm throughout law school, giving her a practical grounding that many newly-minted attorneys lack. This showed in her work; her strategy was meticulous, and her research on recent case law from the Boyd School of Law's resources was exhaustive. Tabetha handled every aspect of our commercial litigation with a calm, assured professionalism that belied her time at the bar. She was exceptionally responsive, demystifying each legal step without ever talking down to me. Her recognition in commercial litigation is clearly well-earned. The matter was resolved favorably through a negotiated settlement that protected my interests completely, avoiding a costly trial. Tabetha is not just a sharp legal mind; she is a genuine advocate who invests fully in her clients' success. I would recommend her to anyone in the Las Vegas area seeking diligent and effective representation for business matters.
