About

Experience and Results matter.  For over the past ten years, attorney Gary L. Guymon has earned the distinguished title of having the most Not Guilty jury verdicts in Southern Nevada.Gary has been a trial attorney for over 25 years.  From 1990 to 2005, Gary worked in the Clark County District Attorney’s Office as a prosecutor.  Gary’s passion and determination as a trial attorney allowed for him to quickly move up the ranks at the District Attorney’s Office.  Gary earned the title of Chief Deputy District Attorney working on the specialized Homicide / Major Violators and Sexual Assault Units.  Gary was also the District Attorney’s Office’s Trial Training Supervisor for the entire district attorney’s office.  Gary was responsible for prosecuting all homicides and repeat offender cases that were assigned to him through the Major Violators Unit.  Gary was also responsible for prosecuting all sexual assaults and crimes against children cases.  Gary instructed the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department on issues concerning search and seizure to all cadets, patrol officers, and detectives.Gary has successfully tried a series of high-profile media cases including State v. Margaret Rudin – the infamous “Black Widow” trial that was featured on America’s Most Wanted.  In addition, Gary successfully prosecuted Las Vegas Metro Police Officer Ronald Mortensen for First Degree Murder.  It is the only officer involved shooting here in Southern Nevada where the police officer was convicted for murder when the officer shot and killed an innocent bystander.  During his tenure, Gary earned a nearly unblemished record that spanned over 120 successful jury trial verdicts as a former prosecutor.For more than 10 years, Gary has fought for the rights and liberties of those who have been accused of a crime.  Gary’s command of the courtroom is only part of the reason that he has the most jury acquittals and not guilty verdicts in the past decade in Southern Nevada.  Gary has successfully acquired Not Guilty verdicts in many high stakes matters, such as charges that involved multiple life sentences, the most serious of felony charges.  In recognition of Gary’s zealous and fierce advocacy on behalf of his clients, he is a recipient of the Scott H. Waitte Award and also the Outstanding Criminal Defense Advocate Award.  Gary has supervised, trained, and mentored many attorneys and has lectured and instructed on trial advocacy including jury voir dire, direct and cross-examination, and opening and closing arguments.Gary attended BYU for his undergraduate education and received his law degree in 1989 from the J. Reuben Clark Law School (BYU).  Following law school, Gary clerked for the Honorable Judge Jack Lehman before undertaking his well-recognized and prestigious career as a trial attorney.  Gary is admitted to practice in the State of Nevada and Federal Courts.  Gary is also a member of Nevada Attorneys of Criminal Justice (NACJ), a non-profit organization of criminal defense attorneys located throughout Nevada, whose mission is to ensure effective representation of those accused of crimes through shared resources, legislative lobbying on constitutional issues, and intra-organizational support.For more than 25 years, Gary has worked hard to develop not only a winning trial record, but also a strong rapport with local judges, prosecutors, and attorneys.  Gary’s experience, professionalism and personal connections serve to benefit those who retain his services when they or their loved ones have been accused of committing a crime.

Gary is a no nonsense straight to the point attorney, he doesn’t sugar coat things and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Because of his expertise and control in the courtroom I was able to avoid a felony being on my record. And he is the only attorney I recommend when friends or family are in need of a defense attorney. Thank you Gary for what you did for me.

Gary not only spent countless hours with me going over the case he also responded. To my text messages I was so stressed out my x was charged with attempted murder Gary got all charges dropped. Since then I have recommended several people to him and they all have been over toyed with the outcome. Gary is a great attorney and I wouldn't trust anyone but him.

i was facing a harsh sentence. gary's pre planning mitigation efforts were huge. he pushed me and was responsive. his knowledge of the system and players and experience in the courtroom was apparent and a huge factor. he tailored his reasonable fee to fit my pay schedule.

I have had 3 criminal attorneys. Gary is by far one of the best attorneys I have ever worked with. Not only is Gary effecient but he is reasonable with his prices.
