John Fahrendorf

Distinguished Lawyer

Criminal Defense Law

598 California Ave, Reno, NV 89509, USA

Many of my clients have told me they cannot believe I am a lawyer, which I hope is a compliment. I pride myself on being dedicated to my clients, understanding of their needs, and passionate about attaining their desired results. My clients know I am hardworking, honest, and available to speak to them whenever they have questions. Though I primarily practice criminal law, the most important part of my job is helping my clients get through hard times. While I know my clients appreciate my strong grasp of the law, I understand being a lawyer is more than being a law nerd: it is about being there for people. I am a native Nevadan and am grateful to have worked in the casino and hospitality industries, the film business, and for several nonprofits. The skills I learned working in several industries help me in and outside of the courtroom. When I am not practicing law, you can find me enjoying one of the many glorious activities which make Northern Nevada the best place in to live.
