Assemblyman Ozzie Fumo has been a practicing trial attorney in Las Vegas for over two decades. Uniquely qualified to serve on the Supreme Court, Ozzie has spent his career fighting for the rights of Nevadans from all walks of life.

A first-generation American, Ozzie grew up in Las Vegas and was first elected to the State Legislature in 2016.

In private practice, he has stepped up to help seal the records of those who have paid their debt to society and simply want fresh start to their lives. He also has trial experience at the state, federal, and 9th Circuit level as well as trying death penalty cases. One of the few members of the community to sit as a Hearing Master on Metro’s Public Fact-Finding Police Use of Force Board, Ozzie has also served as a Judicial Referee in Las Vegas Justice Court.
