About

      I have been representing Las Vegas since 1982. My grandfather was a lawyer, my father was a lawyer, and I started working with my father in 1982 litigating criminal and family law cases. In 1982 I passed the bar after graduating CUM LAUDE from California Western School of Law. I was accepted into the US Navy as a Judge Avocate General (i.e., lawyer in the Navy), and I tried many felony and misdemeanor criminal cases. I was in charge of the Navy's equivalent to the Personal Injury Section for the year, and I gained much criminal and civil experience.        In 1986, I was honorably discharged from the Navy, and I entered private practice with my father. Ever since, I have tried many criminal (both felony and misdemeanor cases), family law cases, and personal injury cases. I also did Chapter 7 Bankruptcies for almost 20 years.       My practice now centers on contracts, criminal, personal injury, all family law (divorce, TPO, child custody), and general civil litigation. My hourly fee of $250.00 (negotiable) is lower than most other attorneys, simply beacuse my overhead is lower. I also have a paralegal service for those who cannot afford an attorney.     "I BELIEVE IN JUSTICE, AND MY ONLY GOAL IS TO SERVE MY CLIENT'S BEST INTEREST, ALWAYS!"        Yo he estado representando Las Vegas desde 1982. Mi abuelo fue un abogado, mi padre fue un abogado, y yo comence a trabajar con mi padre en 1982 para litigar casos de derecho penal y familiar. En 1982 pase el examen de la barra despues de graduarme CUM LAUDE de California Western School of Law (Escuela de Leyes California Western). Luego me aceptaron en la marina de guerra de Los Estados Unidos de America como abogado general del Juez (es decir abogado en la marina de guerra), y trate muchos casos de delitos y de crimenes menores, yo estuve a cargo del equivalente de la Marina a la Seccion de Lesiones Personales durante un ano, y gane mucha experiencia criminal y civil.      En 1986, me retire honorablemente de la Armada, y entre en la practica privada con mi padre. Desde entonces, he hecho muchos casos criminales (tanto de delitos graves como de delitos menores), casos de familia, y casos de lesiones personales. Tambien hice Bancarrotas del Capitulo 7 por casi 20 anos.      Mi practica se centra ahora en contratos, delitos, lesiones corporales, toda la ley de familia (divorcios, TPO, custodia de ninos), y litigios civiles en general. Mi honorario de $250.00 por hora (negociable), es mas bajo que la mayoria de los otros abogados, simplemente porque mis gastos generales son bajos. Tambien cuento con un servicio paralegal para aquellos que no puedan pagar un abogado.     "YO CREO EN LA JUSTICIA, Y MI UNICO OBJETIVO ES SERVIR AL MEJOR INTERES DE MI CLIENTE, SIEMPRE!"

I hired Mr. Root to represent me in my divorce case. We had multiple hearings and trials and he came prepared and ready to represent me as a person rather than client. I really appreciate the effort and attention he and his secretary placed on my case. I highly recommend Mike Root.

At first I thought I could represent myself in my custody trial. After finding out the hard way after a couple of the hearings, how stressful and emotional it is, I decided to find a lawyer to represent me. After a few different consultations, I found that Mike (who was referred to me by a friend who also had won her case while being represented by Mike) really was the most honest & ethical out of the ones I interviewed. He was completely honest with me in regards to expectations, and I could definitely tell his knowledge from his years and years of experience. I decided to go with Mike, and I couldn't be any happier. Fast forward a year and a half later, we won our case. To top it off, his assistant, Danay, is really the nicest and best. She helped me so much throughout this, with whatever question I had. She was patient, personable, knowledgeable, and friendly. I can go on and on about how great Danay is :) Both of them are really a great team! I've already recommended them to a friend of mine going through a custody battle as well, and will continue to recommend people to them, without a doubt.

Several consultations around town, finally brought me to Mr. Root and I can’t even express how incredibly pleased I am with choosing him to represent my husband. My husband had no child custody and very little visitation with his children, due to poor representation during his divorce. In less than 2 years, he gained primary custody of all his children! I can not sing his praises enough. Mr. Root has changed our lives in a way that words can never express our level of gratitude. He is aggressive, incredibly professional, and takes his cases very seriously. I truly believe that no amount of money could buy you better representation. If you have a case that you think is “impossible”, I strongly recommend consulting with Mr. Root before giving up. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again, should I ever need legal representation again.

This is the best human being I know! I have had the privilege of being a client of Mr. Root since 2010! Today I called him on a divorce issue from 2014! Rather than take my money he told me how I can proceed on my own and if I need help he will be there for me! I have sent at least 4 friends to Mr. Root and they were all amazed at the results! If you are a Man and willing to follow his instructions you will not get better results from anyone! I want every Man to know about Mr. Root! Words cannot explain how amazing he is! Tell them Jack sent you! You have the best Man in your corner at a time when nobody else is! Funny Mr. Root has always asked me to call him Mike but he has always been Royalty to me and I am amazed that my meager amount of money can buy such amazing representation ! Get him now!!! I will personally answer any questions about Mr. Root that you might have!

Mr. Root took my case, when no other attorney would and he listened to me and showed me compassion. After much hard work, and while having the flu, we won they said it couldn't be done and Mr. Root WON
