MEET THE INCUMBENT - Trevor Atkin, Department 8
I’m your sitting District Court Judge in Department 8, having been appointed by our Governor after a four month vetting process by the Nevada Judicial Selection Committee which saw 16 very qualified attorneys apply. I’m currently assigned an all civil docket where I oversee and adjudicate all types of civil matters, including, bench trials, jury trials, petitions for judicial review of administrative decisions, appeals of lower court decisions, petitions for injunctive relief, worker compensation appeals, and probate matters. TRUSTED LOCAL EXPERIENCE: I am a proud third-generation Las Vegan, having graduated from Bonanza High School in 1980 with a keen grasp of what matters to Las Vegans. Before my appointment to the bench I represented clients for over 30 years in a variety of practice areas right here in Las Vegas – the town where I grew up and raised a family of my own. As a local, I’m extremely proud to have also earned across the board endorsements from over 30 local organizations, including, veterans, police, fire, labor, and business. HIGHEST QUALITY LEGAL EXPERIENCE: It was during my 30 years of professional practice that I earned from my peers and judges the highest (“Preeminent A/V”) legal and ethical rating from Martindale-Hubbell in 2003 – a rating and reputation which I have earned and maintained for the past 17 years. I was one of the founding partners of Atkin Winner & Sherrod
in 2004 where I served as primary trial counsel and managing partner – overseeing the work of 17 attorneys. Between 2004 and 2019 I oversaw our firm grow from 8 employees to 48 full-time employees. I was nominated in 2011 and elected as a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates by my legal peers and judges in recognition of my courtroom advocacy on behalf of my clients. GIVING BACK: Aside from my legal work, I served as an adjunct legal instructor with the University of Nevada system from 1994 to 1996. I served on the Nevada State Bar Fee Dispute panel from 2000-2003 and was an appointed trustee with the Nevada Law Foundation between 2010 and 2014, whose mission was to provide funding for the legally disadvantaged, to victims of domestic violence, and for the protection of children in need of protection by the juvenile court. I also served as a mentor in the State Bar Mentorship Program for young lawyers. I currently serve on the board of Project Marilyn, and before that, was a board member with the Variety Day Home. I’m the most qualified judicial candidate in this race and hope to earn your vote this November. I’m also the only “Trevor” who will be appearing on your ballot!
