About Osvaldo
Biography
I have been practicing law in Las Vegas since 1996. I have argued everything from traffic citations to Capital Murder cases. I practice in both State and Federal Court. I have been a mentor in the Southern District of Nevada for over 15 years to young attorneys who desire to join the CJA Panel for federal court in Nevada. I also have argued before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Additionally, I sit as a Judge (Referee) for Traffic Matters in Justice Court for Las Vegas.
