About Denise

Learn Denise’s areas of practice.

Denise has come a long way since her law career began. While taking undergraduate classes at night, she initially worked as a receptionist, legal secretary and then became a paralegal. Continuing to work as a paralegal while in law school, Denise went on to earn her Law Degree from the University of Wyoming College of Law in 2007. Graduating in the top 10 percent of her class, Denise also received admittance to the prestigious Order of the Coif – a further tribute to her immaculate academic record.

Presently, she represents injured clients out of her offices in Elko and travels throughout Nevada, assisting clients in obtaining compensation for their injuries and helping them get back on their feet. She specializes in various types of injury claims from automobile accidents, motorcycle accidents, harmful products and medical malpractice, providing her clients with vigorous representation and insight. Because she has had to struggle against adversity and come up through the ranks, Denise understands the challenges of facing obstacles that appear to be insurmountable. She aggressively pursues her clients’ best interest by being supremely dedicated to their needs and is a firm believer in the principles of fair play.

Denise is admitted to practice before all courts in Nevada, including the United States District Court. Denise is currently named a Rising Star by Super Lawyers and is also a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, a membership earned by her representation of a client severely injured by a household product and trucking cases. She is also very dedicated to her community; in her first year of practice, Denise was given the Most Pro Bono Hours Award by the Volunteer Attorneys for Rural Nevada and serves as both a bar exam grader and as well as a member of the Standing Committee for Legal Ethics and Professional Responsibility for the State Bar of Nevada.

Denise was amazing !!
Miss Bradshaw did an awesome job on my case. She is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, caring and she kept me in the loop throughout my case. I’m not a big one for texting so every time I would call if she was available she took my call or returned it in a very timely manner. I never felt like I was being a bother she always treated me great !! She also got an amazing resolution to my case in a very timely period. I actually thought it would take longer, but she was tenacious and got it done. I would highly recommend her !!!

Motorcycle wreck May 31, 2018
Denise Bradshaw was asked to join my case, along with another firm, by my local attorney here in Wichita Falls, Tx, where I live. From the moment I finally got to meet her, to this very moment, she has been more like a protective Aunt, that would do anything for you, than an attorney. I was in a bad motorcycle accident on May 31, 2018. The damage to my body was pretty nasty. I had several cracked and broke ribs, a brain bleed, and lost my right leg, just to list some of the damages. A care flight to JPS in Fort Worth, Tx, and after a second trip back there, totalling 9 surgeries, was included in that mess. Denise, and the other attorneys had their hands full. COVID 19, of course, came right in the middle of the lawsuit making things even more difficult for them. Let me say that throughout rehab, wheelchairs, prosthetics, doctors, COVID 19, and the frustrations of trying to figure out how to do the most basic things that you once could, My attorneys, which joyfully includes Denise Bradshaw, were like rocks for me. Denise went head to head so many times with situations in my case, that I learned real quick that this is not the one to mess with. But when she wasn't head hunting in my case, she is the coolest, down to earth person, that you will undoubtedly fall in love with. My case settled and was wrapped up 4 days before the 3 year anniversary of my wreck. I am now doing most everything that I did before, and I'm figuring new things out everyday. Denise has been there every step of the way, and still is. Denise Bradshaw is and will always be family to me.

Best lawyer in Nevada
There are not enough good things that I can say about Bradshaw law, Denise was always there to answer all my questions even if I did not like the answer, but she would walk me through it till I understood it. All the staff there are so exceedingly kind and caring. I would recommend them to anyone one that needs legal counsel after an injury. Thank you for all that you have done for me and my wife.

Best lawyer in Elko Nevada.
Denise Bradshaw helped me get through an extremely though 3 year long car crash case, against a semi truck. I had pre-existing conditions, which made the case even harder! She worked so hard to make sure that I got what she felt was right and fair for me. Her staff is always there for you, and for her. She NEVER stops working! She will always have your back, as long as your always up front and honest about what is going on with everything in your case.

The best choice for the people
Denise Bradshaw and her staff have been nothing short of phenomenal acting on my behalf. If you are looking for someone who who will dedicate their time to making you feel like you and your situation matter, then she is the one for you. Her and her staff kept me informed of every action that was taken while also easing my mind of all the legal matters while I focused on recovering and healing. I CANNOT say enough about the AMAZING support I received and still do from Bradshaw Law. Any questions I had/have are always answered and addressed with compassion and understanding. When working with Denise I feel taken care of. There honestly aren't enough words in the world to acknowledge the gratitude I have for Mrs. Bradshaw and her hardworking staff. Thank you!!! Thank you! Thank you!!!

Number one lawyer hands down
When i had my motorcycle accident Denise was going to have shoulder surgery she made the time to get me in and see me before her surgery because she was genuinely concerned. I knew i was in good hands after that they called to check up on me and give me updates on everything. When the case was finally done denise worked hard to lower my medical bills. Never did i feel like i was being cheated or pushed to the side. Denise and her legal team truely are the hardest working there is i would hate to be on the other party going against them.

Two thumbs up!
Ms. Bradshaw was the first attorney to respond to my message, even though she was on vacation. She is the only one who offered to review my case when she returns. Hopefully she'll work with me then because I really got a positive vibe about her.

I LOVE this lady!
Denise took on a case for me at a time when my brain just would not allow me to articulate issues for myself. She spoke for me, with both doctors and other attorneys, when I was unable to form proper sentences or get my thoughts expressed. She never made me feel unintelligible, even though I was. She became a friend when even those I knew well didn't understand about how helpless I felt. She convinced me that I was not developing a senility disorder which significantly squelched my fear and I finally began to heal. She got all of my medical bills paid for, compensated me for my time off work, and got insurance money I would never have even known about without her (which was the maximum allowable from my policy). I owe her so, so much.

Best lawyer in Elko!
Hands down the best lawyer I have ever dealt with. Denise takes her time to make sure you are very informed about your rights and what you may expect. I was always kept up to date and informed on the status of my case. She also went above and beyond her duties even when she didn't have too. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to handle my accident case and I cannot express my gratitude enough for everything she has done for me and my family. I highly recommend her to anyone who is need of an injury lawyer.

Outstanding Lawyer!
I had worked with Denise at Bradshaw Law for an accident that my daughter was in. I picked Denise because of the positive reviews I had heard and read. From the start through the entire process Denise was excellent. Her communication to my family was outstanding and she always delivered on-time every step of the way. She is very strong and no one could gain anything on her, she worked very hard and put in countless hours on our case. Her entire team is very professional and carried the same values as Denise with communication and care. Denise obtained the care my daughter needed right from day one and took care of everything so my family could start to heal and get through this process. Denise also got my daughter the max available money for her to cover everything she had needed and for future needs as well. My family couldn’t be more pleased with the entire Bradshaw Law team. I highly recommend Denise and her team and will go to her first for any future needs. Thanks Denise and team for a great outcome and excellent experience.

The Varsity Team!
Denise Bradshaw and her staff are more than capable to handle complex cases. I have unfortunately been involved in many civil battles and Denise is more detailed oriented than a vascular Surgeon when it comes to fighting the long tough battles. When you are a client Denise and her staff treat you as a Team member. From start to finish they diligent, aggressive, and compassionate. When I was in military we called the teams that saved us the Cavalry. Denise and her Team are the Cavalry!

Considerate, Compassionate and Extremely Hard Working
Denise Bradshaw is hands down the most hard working woman I've had the pleasure of meeting. I was faced with many obstacles after being involved in a car accident in 2013 as well as dealing with a separate car accident that left us without my son's father. I was completely overwhelmed with insurance companies, questions and hospital bills that I had no business trying to take care of myself. Denise came highly recommended and so after only one meeting I was certain she was the one I wanted by my side through such a trying time. She took care of every phone call and every document in a timely manner. Her staff is absolutely amazing as well and I can't tell you how nice it was to have a lawyer that would stay in constant contact with me. I was aware of every phone call and every conversation had. Her compassion made hard days a lot easier to handle and her professionalism was a comfort, knowing she was getting the job done made it easier to sleep at night. I can't say enough how grateful I am that she was there to answer every question and made sure I was happy every step of the way. I know without a doubt if I didn't have her on my side through this whole experience I wouldn't have been able to breath easy every day. I highly recommend this law firm and all the wonderful people in it!

Denise responded fast and professionally to our situation and got us outstanding results. I don't think we could have asked for a better person to be involved with our case. We are proud to have been her clients! we highly recommend you go with Denise. She will fight for you

Above and Beyond is how she works!
Would highly recommend Bradshaw Law to anyone looking for an attorney! She went above and beyond on everything we needed. Made sure all our bills were taken care of and always personally took our calls. Even with a disgruntled ex partner that is trying to take her portion of the payment she has done everything to ensure it doesn't effect us at all.

Highly Reccomended
Denise Bradshaw is truly an extraordinary lawyer. She spent countless hours on my case relentlessly dealing with a very unreasonable and ignorant insurance adjuster. Despite all the frustration and obstacles, not once did she compromise with the adjuster just so she can quickly resolve my case. She took the time to do everything I asked of her. Even more amazing is that she went above and beyond what I asked her to do simply because she felt I deserved more.

The best!
Denise is hard-working and will not rest until you get what she feels you deserve. Her and her staff are caring and will treat you like family. When we hired her we had a difficult adjuster and Denise let it be known that we were not going to settle for less. She also kept us updated on our case even if nothing was going on at that moment.

Independent Distributor
Denise is very knowledgeable, considerate and up front when explaining to me everything regarding my case. She protected my interests in the case when I could not. My past experiences with attorneys left me with feeling disdain and caution for their lack of passion and care. Denise made me feel comfortable and confident when it came down to protecting me as I always felt an attorney had a responsibility to do but failed, Denise has changed my feelings towards the profession. Highly recommend!
