Janeen V. Isaacson has been a practicing litigator for more than 25 years. Prior to joining the firm, she spent 8 years as a prosecutor for the Office of Bar Counsel, including serving as Interim Bar Counsel.
She was hired by the Nevada State Bar for her litigation background to serve as the prosecutor designated to handle the largest and most difficult cases.

During her tenure, Janeen served as lead counsel for more than 100 discipline trials. She participated in the investigation and prosecution of hundreds of other cases which were concluded without a Formal Hearing.
Janeen also handled dozens of appeals brought by Respondents and was one of the few prosecutors to participate in oral argument for a discipline matter before the Nevada Supreme Court.
Before joining the Nevada State Bar, Janeen was an equity partner with the litigation firm of Marks & Isaacson. She and her partner managed a staff of approximately 20 people and handled primarily civil and commercial litigation cases. Janeen participated in a number of complex litigation trials including one that spanned a period of six months.
