I have been a Domestic Litigator for close to a decade practicing almost exclusively in the field of Family Law.
I have represented hundreds of clients in a variety of simple to extremely complex Divorce, Child Custody, Relocation, Guardianship, Termination/Adoption, Child Support, and related litigation matters. I have succesfully taken dozens of cases to trial and succesfully appealed numerous cases to the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals. I have also drafted and negotiated numerous prenuptial agreements and stipulated Divorce and/or Child Custody agreements.
My approach to representation is to craft a specific plan tailored to my client's desired outcome and to achieve that outcome as economically as possible - whether my client is of modest means or has an 8 figure net worth.
In my free time, I spend time outdoors with my wife and three children.
I look forward to speaking with you about unqiue solutions to your Family Law matter.

I interviewed several attorneys before I hired Frank and Leavitt Law Firm. This attorney and his office far exceeded any expectation that I could have had, putting the future well-being of my kids and I before any other priority. Frank has a unique and special talent of explaining very difficult le...

I initially consulted with Frank but had another Lawyer on retainer. As my case was underway and not going well, i soon realized i had chosen the wrong Attorney. I made a phone call to Frank and retained him as my Attorney. After that Attorney change, my case was now heading in a good direction for m...

I contacted Leavitt Law Firm in early 2020 in order to review my options regarding post-divorce child custody issues. I met with Frank Leavitt and was extremely impressed right away. I retained Frank, and he quickly went to work for me. He addressed both of my immediate issues and reached an acceptab...

Frank helped us with a tricky non parent visitation case. He is incredibly smart, honest, and he has no issues speaking up for his client. We had met with several lawyers and he was by far the best. He knew the law and fought hard following the law.
"Frank is highly intelligent, highly ethical, and a zealous advocate for all clients. He has routinely beat attorneys with much more experience than him, which is a testament to his work ethic and knowledge."
"Mr. Leavitt fights hard for his clients but always does so with professionalism and integrity. I appreciate his good-faith negotiation approach and skill."
"I endorse Frank Leavitt without hesitation. I volunteer with Frank on one of our county's bar committees, and admire his professionalism, passion for his clients, and devotion to the community. I'm proud to know Frank."
"I am happy to endorse Frank Leavitt. He is respected by colleagues and dedicated to the child custody field and his clients. He is strategic, compassionate, and a relentless attorney who goes the extra mile for his clients. In addition to these qualities, I know that he can be trusted to handle the case to the best of his ability."
"Frank is a fantastic attorney who can serve as an excellent advocate and counselor for anyone who will be navigating the complicated, and emotionally difficult, process of divorce. He has an incredible working knowledge of family law, which allows him to succinctly and persuasively represent his client's interests."
"Frank is quickly earning a reputation for himself as an exceptional litigator and family law attorney."
"Although Frank and I are related, this endorsement has nothing to do with that fact. I am vouching for Frank Leavitt due to his impressive working knowledge of Nevada Family and Domestic statutes and case law. I have personally witnessed him in Court and can attest that he is a natural-born litigator with more raw talent than most."
