A more personal way to practice law
Renee began her career working with insurance companies and nationally known corporations. That experience gave her a detailed understanding of how insurers evaluate claims and where injured people can be left without a clear advocate.
In 2025, she founded Summit Trial Attorneys to bring that perspective to injured people and families across Las Vegas, Reno, Henderson, and communities throughout Nevada.
Renee is of counsel to Trial Lawyers for Justice, the national trial firm founded by Nick Rowley, on select high-exposure product cases. Summit remains her Nevada trial practice; the of-counsel role is not a second firm homepage.
A career built on preparation
Renee's practice is centered on careful examination of the law, empathy, attention to detail, and appropriate aggression. She approaches each matter by identifying the evidence, understanding the risks, and explaining what comes next in plain language.
A trial-ready approach does not mean every case should go to trial. It means the case is prepared with the facts, credibility, and proof a jury or opposing party may test.
