LAS VEGAS, April 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Nevada
Justice Association has named Las
Vegas attorney Peter S.
Christiansen the recipient of its 2021 Trial Lawyer of the
Year award. Christiansen was selected by his fellow trial lawyers
to receive this prestigious honor, one of the highest distinctions
a trial lawyer can earn in the state.
Christiansen is the founding partner and lead trial attorney at
Christiansen Trial Lawyers, a boutique firm focused exclusively on
trying catastrophic personal injury cases and criminal matters, as
well as fraud and business-related disputes. Since 1994, he has
represented clients in state and federal courts throughout
Nevada and taken hundreds of
personal injury and criminal defense cases to trial with a proven
track record of success.
"This award reflects Pete's decades of dedication to fighting
for the under-privileged and winning – despite taking on cases most
thought could not be won," says R. Todd
Terry, who was one of several attorneys to nominate
Christiansen for the honor. "His commitment to justice is
unwavering, and even in a year defined by a global pandemic and
widespread shutdowns, he continued to try new cases and negotiate
significant settlements for his clients – and do so without laying
off a single employee of the firm."
In addition to his recognition as Trial Lawyer of the Year,
Christiansen has the distinction of being one of the youngest
attorneys ever inducted into the renowned American College of Trial
Lawyers, an invitation-only group of exceptional trial lawyers
nominated by their peers and members of the judiciary. The honor is
only afforded to those who have "demonstrated the very highest
standard of trial advocacy, ethical conduct, professionalism and
integrity."
Christiansen also takes an active role in furthering legal
education within the state of Nevada by teaching continuing education
courses and serving as an adjunct professor and contributing
substantial time and resources to UNLV's William S. Boyd
School of Law.
The Nevada Justice Board of
Governors will officially present Christiansen with the 2021 Trial
Lawyer of the Year award at its Annual Summer Gala in Las Vegas on June
24.
