Judge O’Malley, now retired, was an intricate part of Kari’s legal career and was instrumental in learning how to navigate the significant issues involved in difficult divorce and custody cases within the Nevada Family Court system.

Following working for this boutique family law firm, Kari opened her own firm with the premise that “Family is First” and an ongoing belief that every client deserves a dedicated, knowledgeable and respectable attorney to diligently and in a respected way advocate for their needs. Kari has extensive experience in all aspects of divorce, child custody, adoptions and relocation matters including wide ranging experience in family law motion practice, trials and significant complex large asset litigation matters. For the past sixteen years, Kari has successfully advocated for her clients and diligently worked to minimize the cost of litigation.
