Practice · Plate III.
Four practice areas.
One trial discipline.
Selective intake across criminal defense, high-asset divorce, property, and business litigation. Plus contract trial counsel for firms whose case has reached the point where an experienced Nevada trial lawyer must appear of record.
Cases where the legal complexity and financial exposure justify a 45-year trial lawyer.
Criminal Defense.
When Freedom Is at Stake
Death-penalty-qualified Nevada criminal defense with four decades of trial experience. From first-degree murder to federal criminal matters, Mr. McKenna represents clients facing the most serious charges Nevada’s courts can bring.
High-Asset Divorce.
Estate-Scale Dissolution
When a marriage involves substantial assets, business interests, or complex property, the divorce is a commercial dispute as much as a family matter. Mr. McKenna brings four decades of trial readiness to Nevada’s most consequential dissolutions.
Property Litigation.
Ownership Disputes, Resolved
When real property is contested — title disputes, boundary conflicts, commercial development litigation, partnership disputes over real estate interests — the matter demands an attorney willing to take it to trial if necessary.
Business Litigation.
Commercial Disputes, Decided
Partnership dissolutions, contract breaches, commercial fraud, trade-secret misappropriation, and business torts. When business disputes escalate beyond negotiation, trial-ready counsel is the essential instrument.
For the firm whose case
has run its course.
When a Nevada case has reached the point where a lawyer whose career exists because of trials must appear of record — to try it, to supervise its trial, or to carry its appeal — the engagement is accepted on that basis. Discreet, case-specific, and structured to preserve your firm's client relationship.
