As a result of her academic achievements, Heather was awarded a scholarship and chose to attend the University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law. Initially, Heather planned to focus her legal career on environmental law, but that changed after working at an on-campus legal clinic helping indigent clients. As a result of her experience, Heather developed a new plan for her career: helping injured people. After graduating from McGeorge in 2001, Heather started her career in Las Vegas and was determined to gain litigation experience with top-rated lawyers as her mentors. Heather secured a position as an associate attorney for a prestigious regional law firm. She spent the first few years of her career honing her litigation skills by managing a large caseload for numerous corporate clients. Her experience handling civil cases in both State and Federal Court proved invaluable and provided a solid foundation for her future as a tenacious litigate. Although she enjoyed success in this position and sharpened her skills as an advocate, Heather decided to move on when she was contacted by the City of North Las Vegas to work as a deputy city attorney. She loved her new position, but quickly found she missed litigation. In 2006, Heather decided it was time to get back to helping individuals and she began the next phase of her career working for Harris Schwartz. In 2008, Heather and partner, personal injury lawyer Brian K. Harris, formed their current firm, Harris & Harris Lawyers.

Heather has made numerous television and media appearances to promote safety awareness and provide legal tips to the Southern Nevada community. Heather loves being a trial lawyer. As she learned early on, Heather believes there is truly no satisfaction like winning for an injured person who needs her help.

I will always stand up for injured victims.”

Scott Guido

Scott Guido

Featured Lawyer

Personal Injury Law

6128 W. Sahara Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89146

Scott Guido was born and raised in Buffalo, New York. He obtained his undergraduate degree from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and obtained his law degree from the State University New York at Buffalo, School of Law (SUNY Buffalo). His career spans over 20 years beginning with Infinity Insurance as a field claims adjuster in the fall of 2000. Scott and his future wife, Mary, moved to Las Vegas in 2003 where he took a position with American International Group (AIG) working as a Field Generalist. During this period Scott began to shift his focus from general claims handling to handling only personal injury claims and was eventually put in charge of the bodily injury unit in the Las Vegas claims office. The transition from a general claims handler to a unit manager was in large part due to the training he received from, Kerry, the Branch Manager. She was instrumental in his early success in the industry and they have remained lifelong friends. While working at AIG Scott also met his future boss while conducting a routine settlement conference call with a local personal injury attorney. What struck Scott the most about the call was the fact that although this gentleman was the owner of one of the most prestigious PI firms in the Valley, he never-the-less spoke with empathy for his client as they attempted to negotiate a settlement. He came across as someone who was genuinely grateful for his success. It only took the one call and that’s all for Scott to form an immediate bond with his future boss. So, Scott took the Nevada State Bar Exam and took a position as an associate attorney working for his new mentor in the summer of 2006. Scott spent the next 15 years working at this law firm settling thousands of personal injury cases. During this period he handled nearly every type of claim imaginable, and eventually became the Managing Attorney for the Nevada offices. Scott became an integral figure in the continued success of his mentor’s business. Scott will be forever grateful for the opportunity he was given because of that one phone call almost 15 years ago. Armed with over 20 years’ experience in the industry and 15 years working at one of the largest firms in the Valley, Scott decided it was time to forge a new path and founded Guido Injury Law. Scott has said “The mission of my firm is to make sure everyone my team represents has an understanding that they are not a number—they matter!” While Scott cannot guarantee any specific results, he pledges to treat you with the respect you deserve and provide you with compassionate, caring legal representation—regardless of the value your case.
