About Richard

Learn Richard’s areas of practice.

2
Practice areas

After graduating from Roger Williams School of Law in Rhode Island, I began practicing law in Nevada in 2005. Since then, I have tried numerous cases in Nevada’s State and Federal Courts. I have also appeared and argued at several administrative proceedings in Nevada. Along the way, I have represented hundreds of individuals injured in car accidents because of negligent drivers. I also work hard for people accused and arrested by State and Federal law enforcement.

When I am not representing clients who have hired me, I represent clients the State and Federal Governments appoint me.  In the Federal system, I earned my way on to the Criminal Justice Act’s panel of appointed attorneys. Similarly, I am qualified to maintain a contract with Clark County, Nevada to represent State-appointed clients facing serious criminal charges.  Contact me today, so I can get to work for you.

They’re extremely helpful from the beginning ‘till the end. I highly recommend coming here, for any legal matter! I’ve come here multiple times and I wouldn’t go any where else.

Accidents are life changing. You need a good lawyer.
Richard was able to get the max from the insured motorist that struck me in a crosswalk, and half the max from my insurance. It is never enough, but without the Tanasi law group I would have been in deep debt for medical costs in addition to what appears to be life long damage in my knees, leg and back. Linda is the most patient and compassionate person. I was pretty low with my injuries and depression and got extremely frustrated and unable to execute the simplest request at times. They stood by me. Thry guided me through the process. They were professional but also understanding. I highly recommend this law group.

Great Team!
I’ve used Richard a couple of times over the past couple of years and he’s been great. His staff is very responsive and we got the results we were looking for both times. Thumbs up. Randy R.

High end Federal Trial
I was accused of 14 heinous crimes by the Federal Government in a case called United States V. Bundy. I had no money and was appointed a lawyer. Scared, I was, really scared, because I was innocent and facing 82 mandatory minimum years. Richard Tanasi and his staff were more than knowledgeable, and ready to tackle the challenging 6 months worth of 2 trials, and numerous hearings. (Yeah, that was longer than O.J.!!) But they were patient, caring, and always answered my phone calls. I was not being an easy person to deal with, and their bedside manner was off the charts. I don't think I was ever aggressive towards Rich, (cause he's no pushover, obviously) but I was very demanding. In trial, anything I asked happened. Even if Rich advised against it, he would still ask the court any questions I had, and make any statements I needed expressed. He spent a lot of time visiting me in Prison for a Year, because he cares. I trust Rich. He'd be worth every penny I could ever pay him

Knowledgeable and Great Customer Service
I have worked with Richard Tanasi for both a MVA and a traffic ticket. Both instances he was great at fully communicating the process and results as well as, answering all questions with patience. He worked hard throughout the process to make sure I had the best outcome possible. His office staff respond quickly and are very thorough and reliable. Very happy with their services!

Reliable Rich will work hard for you
I have met Rich through a business network group. There were two situations where we needed Rich's help. He is patient, calm, detail oriented, focused while representing the client. I trust Rich because he is a good human being. I felt reassured having Rich on my side. My worries and stress were greatly reduced as well. Hiring Rich gave me peace during challenging times. Thank you very much!

Excellent Results
I hired Rich Tanasi for a traffic violation. Paid the legal fee over the phone with Marijo. She set up a phone conference for Rich and I to speak and I emailed a picture of the citation to their office. Rich had my ticket reduced and resolved within a couple of weeks. They emailed me the results. Excellent communication and results. Would definitely hire him again and will recommend him to others.

My go to for all of my law needs!
Mr. Tanasi and his entire staff (particularly Ehleena) have been really helpful and dependable throughout the years. I was first introduced to them during litigation for an automobile accident involving injury. Litigation cases usually have long, drawn out processes and mine was no different. My case lasted over the course of almost 3 years and was handed off to two or three different attourney's ending with Rich, as soon as Mr. Tanasi was brought in he contacted me in a professional and courteous manner and assured me that he will fight and do his best to achieve an outcome that I will be satisfied with. He did just that! The respect, communication, and professional pride in which Tanasi law offices conduct business in cannot be beaten. Every time I have hired them they always seem to have exceeded my expectations, they have done so at a low cost to me while implementing the maximum effort and setting a high standard in which no Auttorney I have previously dealt have come close to.
