About Stephen
Biography
Stephen (Steve) Dixon is the founder of Steve Dixon Law in Las Vegas, Nevada. Steve was born and raised in Las Vegas and is proud to still be a part of that community. Vegas is home. As a youth, Steve was twice named the Las Vegas valley's "high school basketball player of the week" by a prominent local newspaper while at Clark High School. He was also a multiple time all district selection, and an all-state selection in that same sport.
Following high school, Steve played basketball at the collegiate level where he continued to develop what he likes to call his "professional competitive" nature. Following his collegiate career, Steve also coached at the highest levels in college basketball, including coaching in the NCAA field of 64 national tournament at the NCAA Division II level.
Steve uses this professional competitive background to help his clients and fight for their best interests. Steve has a very diverse background in the law. That background includes working for insurance companies on personal injury matters. This experience gives him a decided advantage while representing injured clients. He also has vast experience in estate planning, family law, real estate, HOA community associations, and other areas of the law. Mr. Dixon has also successfully represented a wide range of clients, including business owners, general contractors, land owners, developers, and lenders in both simple and complex litigation matters.
Steve is very goal and detail oriented. He earned his J.D., after serving on the Moot Court Board, from Creighton School of Law in Omaha, Nebraska in 2006. He also earned his B.A. in International Studies from Idaho State University in 2003.
Steve is also a legal education lecturer and performs a large amount of volunteer work in the community via the Boy Scouts of America. He also coaches little league baseball, soccer, flag football, and basketball. As stated above, Steve is a lifelong resident of Las Vegas and is proud of his Nevada heritage, one that stretches back to the early 1930's when his great-grandfather was a cement foreman on the Boulder (“Hoover”) Dam project.
In his spare time, Steve enjoys exercising (he recently completed his first marathon), fishing, golfing, and spending as much time as he can with his wife and children.
Steve is also fluent in Portuguese.

Deed for transfer of property
I originally thought I could do this myself. It was supposed to be a straight forward process. It soon became apparent that I needed help. Stephen Dixon was very responsive and helpful. He helped us in a timely and professional manner. I highly recommend Steve Dixon.

Very disappointed
Hired Steve as an attorney for a car accident I was in. I called him and told him my situation also mentioned I was talking with another attorney and he asked me his name and then he went on saying he knew the guy and he wasn’t up to par with my type of case. Right off that should have been the first...

Highly qualified representation and a great guy
I am a Utah resident. While driving through Nevada, I was cited for a moving violation. I contacted Steve Dixon for representation, and he was able to negotiate a lower fine and while having the charge reduced to a non-moving violation (i.e., this means my insurance rates wouldn't go up, I didn't hav...

In need of a Trust

He's got your back!
