About Jack

State Bar of Nevada Certfiied Family Law Specialist serving Las Vegas, Henderson, and Clark County. 

As a native Las Vegan, I have lifelong ties to our community. After graduating with my bachelor’s degree from the UNLV Honors College in 1999, I worked for several years at a local ambulance company as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT-I) and as an American Heart Association certified CPR and First Aid Instructor. While working full-time as an EMT, I attended the William S. Boyd School of Law where I earned several academic awards and graduated in the top 10% of my class. Since 2007, my practice has focused almost exclusively on family law.

I am a member of the Nevada State Bar Family Law Section. I am also a member of the State Bar of Southern Neavda Attorney Discipline Panel, the State Bar of Nevada Fee Dispute Committee, and was chosen as a Super Lawers Mountain States Rising Star in 2016 - an award given to no more than 2.5% of the attorneys in Nevada.

    Review Jack Fleeman

    I highly recommend for child custody case

    Posted by

    jack has been representing me in my child custody/divorce case (which has turned into a relocation case thanks to the father of the children who decided during a court haring that he was thinking about moving) for about 8 months now. the case is still ongoing, as my ex cant seem to agree to anything and keeps changing his mind. i am truly grateful for the help that Jack has provided me during this stressful time, he is smart competent and actually cares about my case and puts in the work, doesn't just take my money. he always responds in timely fashion (i have never waited for more than a few minutes for response to my questions via email) no matter how ridiculous my questions or concerns might be (this is my first time going through this). other things i like, is nothing about my case was ever sugar coated with fake promises of this and that, it was always best case scenario, worst case scenario and most likely scenario, so I'm grateful that i was prepared for all. What I'm happiest about is the way jack represents me during court hearings in front of a judge, he is fast and to the point and wont let the other side waste any time. My ex's attny is a complete incompetent dummy who doesn't even know the case, so when he says things in court that are completely irrelevant Jack is sure to speak up and nip it in the bud with the nonsense. i would totally 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a sincere, trustworthy attorney to handle child custody case. it has been one of the hardest things in my life to go through child custody case, and I'm forever grateful that i found an attorney who has been the most helpful, dedicated and efficient for my case. He has always filed all paperwork, motions, orders etc.. on time and so far has never missed a deadline.

    Very professional and competent attorney

    Posted by

    Jack is not cheap, but what do you expect from an excellent attorney? You get what you pay for. I received a knowledgeable, diligent, committed attorney who was able to obtain MY overall desired outcome for the custody of my children. This was a very emotional matter and although I was not always able to think straight, as an attorney, he looked out for my families' best interests. He had to keep bringing me back to dealing with the issues and not the emotions. From day one, an overall goal and plan was set into motion. He never sold me a dream and let me know worst case scenarios. Things went exactly as he predicted. This comes from experience and wisdom. I could not take any chances with custody of my children. I would hire him again, and again, and again.

    Great attorney

    Jack, is the best attorney in my opinion. He has taken his time to make sure I understand every aspect and detail of my case.He has always made sure that my concerns were addressed and has gotten me everything that I wanted out of the divorce and custody case. Jack is very professional and knows what he is talking about.

    A parent's inspiration to find a "super lawyer" such as Mr. Jack Fleeman

    Posted by

    It's an inspiration to a parent to come across a sincere and dedicated family law attorney such as Mr. Jack Fleeman. He was the fairest attorney that I have come across in terms of costs. In fact he put me as a client far above money and basically gave his utmost attention at very little cost to me as he understood my financial constraints at the time. Most any other attorney would have not taken my case because of my financial situation, I feel he took on my case based on principal and humanity. He went above and beyond in devoting his time and attention to learn the material and personally spend the time with me to understand my needs. The patience he had with me especially since it has been an emotional process, was exceptional. As a father himself you see that he understands. He was excellent in Court and given the short time frame to prepare for a very critical hearing he was well prepared to speak on my behalf. Further, he listened to my needs and was willing to voice my requests to the Judge unlike what other attorneys who generally just do what they think without consideration. Every case is unique and I believe Mr. Fleeman recognized and respected that. I sincerely appreciate everything he did to help me. Until I met Mr. Fleeman, it had been a journey filled with much disappointment with ineffective counsel and runaway fee billing, and I have been through several attorneys as well as interviewed well over 20 attorneys. I am grateful to have met with Mr. Fleeman. I highly recommend him. Diego
