Las Vegas Office “Top Rank Attorneys” 2026
McDonald Carano proudly announces that seven attorneys in our Las Vegas office are recognized as “Top Rank Attorneys” in Nevada Business Magazine’s 2026 list of “Nevada’s most respected legal professionals chosen by their peers.” Only 3% of licensed attorneys in Nevada make the list.
Nevada Business Magazine describes the attorneys as “representing the best of the best in the legal industry. The lawyers who make it on the list are at the top of their fields.” The list is created from a peer review survey of attorneys admitted to practice in Nevada. McDonald Carano also congratulates Maggie O’Flaherty on receiving “Best Up & Coming Attorneys” recognition, which are attorneys under 40 years of age and licensed to practice in Nevada for 10 years or less.
