About
I am a local resident who was educated in the public school system in Las Vegas, Nevada. I was involved in the boy scouts and rode horses at the old Day Dream ranch at Warm Springs and Eastern. I learned to swim at Sunset Park and climbed many local mountains in our valley with the Boy Scouts. My father was a professor at UNLV and my mother worked as a registered nurse at sunrise for 30 years. Las Vegas has provided a vibrant environment for me to thrive as a child. During my college years at UNLV, I worked as a student worker in the the athletic facilities which included the North gym where coach Tarkanian conducted his daily practices. As a criminal justice major I participated in a 260 hour internship with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Southwest Area Command. During this internship I spent 260 hours on the streets with patrol officers. During my law school education at Gonzaga University, I studied in Vienna, Austria with Supreme Court Justice Scalia. My studies in three different universities in Belgium, France, and Austrian law schools allowed me the opportunity to gain an understanding of the international criminal justice system through various founders of the International Criminal Court in the Hague. After graduation, I started working with John P. Fadgen. John was an outstanding criminal defense lawyer and a gentleman who everyone respected. First and foremost, John was a trial lawyer who had crafted his cross examination skills over the decades. His subtle cross examination style would impeach witness after witness. I opened my first law office in 2001, in which I also was appointed to the CJA panel where I have tried four of the most lenghty and complex criminal trials in our District. United States v. Acosta (Hells Angels), United States v. Kahre (Four Month Tax Evasion Trial), United States v. Camez (Carder.su Computer Hacking) and United States v. Sellers (Complex Rico Prison Gang Trial). United States v. Bundy et al (Armed Stand-Off with federal agents) Mr Rasmussen represented Peter Santilli a journalist covering the events in real time. These trials set the tone early in my career on how to properly defend persons charged with serious crimes. I sit on the Indigent Defense Committee as the State Bar of Nevada representative. We evaluate lawyers to ensure indigent defendants are competently and passionately represented before our courts. As a civil lawyer, I was accepted into the Multi-million Dollar Forum. This is reserved for trial lawyers who have received multiple verdicts and settlements in excess of one million dollars. I have settled and tried multiple million dollar cases. I have continued a long tradition of representing persons injuried by others negligence and intentional acts. My firm has served as legal counsel since the birth of the Las Vegas Tribune, a local newspaper. I have defended multiple attempts to restrain the content of the Tribune. My partner and I have defended without a single defeat every attempt to restrain or intimidate the Tribune with frivolous litigation. We look forward to consulting with prospective clients who expect the highest level of legal representation.

I hired Chris and I could not be any happier. He was always there when I had any questions or concerns. He always kept me updated, very knowledgeable and very kind which is hard to find now in days.
Chris Rasmussen is one of the best lawyers in Las Vegas. Without the help of his firm, I know that I would not have had the successful outcomes I have had. Chris understands his client, very insightful and is an expert in his field. Truly a professional and marvelous individual.
It was a pleasure working with Mr. Rasmussen! This was my first legal experience and Chris worked diligently to prove my case. He was by my side every step of the way, explained every little detail, and made everything easy for me to understand. He was able to get my case settled before we had to go to a lengthy drawn-out trial. One thing I noticed is every time we were around the courthouse everyone went out of their way to say hello to Chis, he has a great reputation and I am very appreciative for all of his hard work. I strongly recommend reaching out to Chris for your legal needs.
Since the moment I met with Mr. Rasmussen I knew I was in good hand. At our first appointment, he explained the situation to me very well and what our course of actions will be. He always provided support and answered my infinite amount of question I had for him without hesitation. Definitely recommending the services of Mr. Rasmussen, if you find yourself in trouble,
