My legal career began in 1990, where I spent three years with a prominent Las Vegas law firm before deciding that I could better serve my clients by forming my own law practice. With a Master of Laws in Taxation and CPA designation (certified in Illinois only), I have served my diverse and high-profile clientele with professionalism, drive, and mutual respect.
At the Law Offices of David A. Straus, we concentrate our legal practice in trusts, estates, corporate and business planning-with an interest in asset protection-charitable planning, and entertainment and media law.
Progressive, Cutting-Edge Estate Planning in Nevada
I am not the average Las Vegas asset protection and estate planning lawyer. I inspire, motivate, and teach my clients to transfer core values and principles for living, as well as material wealth, through estate planning.
We are committed to seizing ongoing responsibilities and opportunities to enhance the reputation of attorneys and the legal profession in all that we do, and have built our practice to provide job security in a team-based partnership mode of shared responsibility and mutual caring.
My legal practice is client-focused and concentrated on estate, tax, charitable, and asset protection planning. I am a hands-on estate planning attorney, artfully designing customized, all-encompassing estate plans for all of my clients.
We promote self-growth and continued learning to keep ourselves on the cutting edge of our field and to achieve greater fulfillment in our lives. We also use our work as a means to promote good in society and to give back to our community.

Very Personable and Knowledgable
Mr. Straus was very sympathetic to my mothers needs regarding her Trust. He was very informative in regards to the Will and made her feel as if she were family...... Thank you Mr. Straus
"I endorse this lawyer. David and I have worked together on a number of matters and he is knowledgeable and very capable regarding estate planning matters."
"David is an extremely experienced and knowledgeable lawyer in estate planning. He is well respected in the legal community and definitely at the top of his field."
"I highly endorse this lawyer's work. I have known David for many years through our membership in a number of national estate planning organizations. David is one of the most intellectually gifted attorneys I know. Not only is he technically brilliant, however, he also combines his intellectual gifts with compassion for his clients, an innate understanding of human nature, and a true passion for his craft. I have oftened asked David for his counsel, which he has shared willingly, and we have collaborated on a number of issues and cases. David is a top tier, national-level estate planner, comfortable with the most sophisticated of clients and most complex estate, tax, charitable and business issues. I cannot recommend him highly enough."
