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.
