This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Thank you Joseph

I can’t thank Joseph enough for everything he did for me during a very stressful time. I was facing charges for an argument with my girlfriend and an illegal eviction & lockout by my landlord, and he stepped in immediately to protect my rights. He was extremely knowledgeable about Nevada landlord-te...nant law and acted quickly to stop the unlawful eviction. Thanks to his hard work, the charges and eviction was not only dismissed, but he also got all the records sealed—so it won’t show up on my rental history or background checks. He was always responsive, took the time to explain everything clearly, and made sure I understood all my options. In court, he was a strong advocate and presented my case with professionalism and confidence. He stood up for me when I felt like no one else would, and made sure I was treated fairly. I highly recommend Joseph. He went above and beyond, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything he did.

FRAUD ALERT - Never Returns Emails or Phone calls

We hired Joseph for a fraud business claim. He started some work for us be became impossible to get ahold of. Now he has our $5000 retainer and will not reply to email or phone calls. Stay away if you want to actually have your case handled professionally

Best Lawyer.

Best attotney ever, in my opinion. He really cared about me and my cases. My family doesn't have a lot of money and he worked with us and set up a really affordable payment plan. He got 1 of my criminal cases dismissed and the other 1 a doable deal. If I didn't want that 1 he was ready to take it to ...trial. Great attorney, awesome human being.

Best in Vegas

Joseph Iarussi is one of the most skilled attorneys in Las Vegas. I've hired him for a criminal case which was dismissed prior to trial although we were prepared, he handled my divorce swiftly, and sealed my records with ease. There is nothing he can't do! His prices are beyond reasonable in regard t...o his skill. I would never go elsewhere!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2020.

Suspension issued in NV, 2020

updated on 02/25/2026

This means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Joseph’s comment:

“Reinstated in 2022, with no further disciplinary action since”

Reprimanded issued in NV, 2018

updated on 02/25/2026

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Joseph’s comment:

“First and only reprimand by state bar in 21 years of practice over a minor issue with court scheduling”
