Frequently Asked Questions
About hiring a Reno commercial litigation attorney
What does a Reno commercial litigation attorney do?+
A Reno commercial litigation attorney represents businesses in civil disputes that may end in trial — including contract breaches, partnership conflicts, real-estate litigation, eminent-domain cases, and trade-secret claims — in the Second Judicial District Court of Nevada (Washoe County), the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, and the Nevada Supreme Court on appeal.
How long do I have to file a business lawsuit in Nevada?+
Statutes of limitation vary by claim under NRS 11.190. Written contracts: six years. Oral contracts: four years. Fraud: three years from discovery. Tortious interference: four years. Some claims (eminent domain, mechanic’s liens) have statute-specific deadlines. Don’t wait for the deadline to call — defenses harden long before the filing window closes.
How much does it cost to hire a Reno business litigation lawyer?+
