GREAT LAWYER

Brian and his staff were extremely helpful with handling my custody case. With every question that I had, he responded with great advice & in a timely manner. I highly recommend him if you are in search of a lawyer who cares about your case. He helped me to secure primary physical and full custody of... my daughter. It was a stressfull time period but he walked me through the process with as much ease as possible. Choose your lawyer wisely, because it will benefit you emotionally & physically when you choose the RIGHT one for your case.

Smart, Dedicated, Professional & Passionate about my case.

After 3 Judges, 3 Lawyers and 12 years in and out of Family Court; Only now do I feel confident in recommending an attorney. This attorney knows family law in Nevada and not once did I feel that I was just “another custody case”. Every motion, counter motion, and hearing, was what was in the b...est interest of my children and what needed to be done. His knowledge, hard work and dedication, brought about the best possible outcome for me and my family.

AMAZING LAWYER!! Awesome firm!!

I met Brian in February 2013. He immediately put me at ease, and jumped in with both feet when beginning my divorce process. The Nevada laws aren't always in favor of the best interest of the children. Brian realizes this and will fight to try and balance it out. One of the things that stood out mo...st with this firm was their commitment to the best interest of any children involved. Before I even retained them, they were encouraging me to get in for the mandatory parent class. Not because it was mandatory, but because it would help me minimize the negative effects of divorce on my children. Divorce is never an easy process, but with Brian Blackham and the K&C team on your side it will make this transition in your life less overwhelming. I feel blessed to have had them fighting in my corner.

Brian was in the midst of trial prep, but did everything possible to see and meet with the person and he took on her case. He is not only an outstanding lawyer, but he has great compassion. I endorse and highly recommend him."

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.
