Hired Attorney 2026My divorce was filed in Clark County Family Court in mid-2024 after a 22-year marriage, and the financial complexity was significant — my wife is a partner at a Las Vegas medical practice, and our estate included his partnership interest, a defined benefit pension, two 401(k) accounts, a deferred compensation plan, our home in The Ridges, a second home in Lake Las Vegas, and roughly $1.4M in a joint brokerage account. I interviewed three firms before hiring Jennifer Setters at Gastelum Attorneys. What set them apart was that they immediately identified the deferred compensation plan as a non-qualified plan that couldn’t be divided by a standard QDRO — it needed a DRO drafted to the plan’s specific terms, and they’d handled this exact issue before. They also flagged early that my husband’s partnership interest would require a business valuation with a goodwill analysis under Nevada case law, which became the central issue in our negotiation. The case took about 14 months. We used a private settlement judge rather than going to trial, which saved significant cost and kept the financial details out of the public record. The final decree included three separate QDROs (one for each retirement plan), a separate DRO for the deferred comp, and a structured buyout of my community property interest in the practice paid over 36 months with security. For anyone in Las Vegas facing a high-asset divorce involving a professional practice, multiple retirement accounts, or deferred compensation, Gastelum Attorneys knew exactly what they were doing. They were also genuinely kind during a very hard year.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
