William Robert Brendgard, Attorney at Law

I am a sole practitioner, family law attorney, providing confident representation and realistic advice at a reasonable fee.

I have been proudly serving the people and families of Clark County since 1992.

Dissolution of Marriage: Obtained temporary child custody for father, negotiated a reasonable parenting plan that gave each parent generous time and helped avoid a long, exhausting litigation over the children. Narrowed the case down for trial, and presented the judge with expert evidence about market value of property to give my client a fair division of property with favorable payment terms on the settlement. Client obtained marital rights in assets that wife was claiming were outside the marriage as separate property.

Defending post-decree modification of child custody: Represented a mother who lost temporary custody due to her being arrested twice for violating restraining order stemming from relationship problems with new male partner. Successfully met and disproved father's allegations about her character and fitness, when at trial the court found that she had properly dealt with areas of concern and that grounds for changing custody were no longer present, thus requiring both kids to be restored to her custody.

Child support: Court granted our motion to dismiss a request for college child support when the moving party failed to bring the request before age 18 and support had already expired. Wrote legal brief showing the judge some appellate case law, and overcame the opposing lawyer's misplaced belief that the court had not lost jurisdiction over the issue. Court granted attorney fees against opponent, paid to us as prevailing party.
