Las
Vegas, NV -
The Las Vegas National Bar Association (LVNBA) announced that the Nevada
Attorney General's Office will be honored as the Law Firm of the Year at the
Annual Scholarship Gala and Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Celebration.
"I
want to congratulate the AG Family for their hard work and service," said
Attorney General Aaron D. Ford. "The recognition is due entirely to
the work each representative of the office has done to enhance justice in the
great state of Nevada. I’m so proud our office’s dedication to the guiding
principles of our ‘Five C's’ —
constitutional rights, criminal justice reform, consumer protection, client
service and community engagement. I could not ask for better representatives of
our office and am immensely proud of every member of the AG Family."
The
LVNBA is the Las Vegas chapter of the National Bar Association, the country’s oldest
and largest association of predominantly African-American lawyers, judges,
law professors and other legal professionals. Each year,
the LVNBA awards the Law Firm of the Year Award to a law firm in Southern
Nevada that has handled matters that benefit the Southern Nevada community, especially local low-income
communities or communities of color,
and demonstrated a commitment to
diversity in its office.
“Over
the past two years the Office of the Attorney General has worked diligently to
address issues across the fields of criminal justice, social justice and racial
equality. In the most recent example, the office sponsored criminal justice
reform bills that severely restricted no-knock warrants and expanded the
Attorney General’s authority to conduct pattern-or-practice investigations,” said
LVNBA Gala
Committee Member and Attorney Amber White-Davidson. “These
accomplishments, along with the office’s commitment to diversity, make us proud
to award the Office of the Attorney General Law Firm of the Year.”
