Meet Our Founders
In 1949, Robert McDonald, a distinguished World War II fighter pilot, began his legal career as a Nevada Deputy Attorney General working with Nevada Attorney General Alan Bible. McDonald was subsequently appointed a United States Deputy Attorney General, and Bible served as Nevada Attorney General for eight years then a United States Senator from Nevada for 20 years. The two colleagues formed Bible & McDonald and remained law firm partners until the United States Senate adopted rules prohibiting lawyer members from maintaining private law practices. Donald Carano joined the firm in 1962 and became a partner in 1963. Carano established the Eldorado Hotel and Casino in 1973, which became the largest casino and entertainment company in the U.S. after acquiring Caesars Entertainment.
