Very competent attorney

My son and I was in a car accident. We both sustained injury and our car was severely damaged to the point they wanted to declare it totaled. Mr. Rivera handled everything for us. He took a load off of our shoulders. He got us a reasonable settlement. I'm glad he was referred to us.

Will take cases alot of attorneys will not take.

I was in a car accident for the first time ever. I was sitting at a red light and a car hit me from behind from nowhere. I thought i was okay at the scene of the accident. I started to notice alot of lower back pain a few months later and my father told me to seek out a lawyer who could help because ...the pain could be from the accident. Due to me being only 24 at the time and never being injured. There should be no pain and Tristan took my case without hesitation and got me he care that i needed due to the car accident. Thank you Tristan for all of your help. You are greatly appreciated.

Very Competent Lawyer

After being rear ended and experiencing injury, Tristan Rivera was there to address all of the concerns I had after the car wreck. Tristan first made sure I received medical treatment. Then Tristan immediately had the other driver’s insurance company pay to repair my car. Tristan was there every st...ep of the way to defend me when the insurance company tried to take advantage of me. Tristan efficiently fought to get me a reasonable settlement while demonstrating a high level of professionalism and personability.

Caring, knowledgeable, Hard Working

I found Attorney Rivera through mutual networks. I needed someone that I can trust to handle all my legal issues both personal and business. Attorney Rivera has been nothing short of amazing. He is easy to talk to, sympathetic and understands how I feel. He confidently represents me which gives m...e a BIG piece of mind- which I think is the most important part. I wouldn't know how to navigate through these issues by myself. Yet Attorney Rivera knows just what to do and how to execute moves to make sure everything goes smoothly. Going through the cases, I have had worries on many levels: protecting my innocence and making sure the case was awarded to me justly. Having Attorney Rivera on my side has made the entire experience more at ease. Attorney Rivera is worth seeking. I highly recommend him to all my friends and family. If you need not just a skillful attorney but one that connects with you personally, then Attorney Rivera is the attorney you're looking for.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2023.

Reprimanded issued in NV, 2023

updated on 11/06/2023

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
