Rt 91 Shooter estate

Alice and her team fought hard at no cost for years to get us victims from the shooting who lost our loved ones, the shooters estate money. As well as the destruction of his guns he used. I can't express my appreciation enough. Even though at the end of the day the moneys, while extremely helpful ar...en't life changing, knowing it came from the shooter has a bigger impact than any other proceeds received. Thank you Alice and your team for your hard work in behalf of us all.

Highly Recommend

Alice Denton expertly provided all the guidance we needed to complete my mother’s probate estate. Being from out of state, we were very fortunate to have found her by a recommendation from the Senior Center. Also, when asked to recommend local people, she provided the names of exceptional professiona...ls to assist us (appraiser, realtor, and accountant). We highly recommend Alice Denton and are grateful for her work on our behalf.

Best Probate Attorney

We were lucky a friend highly recommended Alice Denton to us at the time of our daughter's death. Alice was very knowledgeable and professional. She helped us resolve our daughter's debts and settle her estate. We highly recommend Alice. We feel she is the best probate attorney in Las Vegas.

Highly Recommend Alice Denton

I found Alice and her staff to be very helpful and professional. Appointments were on time and productive. Alice reviewed my case accurately and quickly which included questions on how to proceed with a family trust to include properties between two states. She quickly identified an error that had be...en made with recording of one of the properties. She answered my questions, made special accommodation for my case. Highly recommend Alice Denton without any reservations.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
