by referral – I never did any advertising or made a website. The paralegals and attorneys I had done good work for referred me to colleagues in the business. In my junior year of my undergrad of business school, I made the decision to go to law school, and that same story continued. I got married before I was accepted into Boyd School of Law in 2018, and my wife quit her job to come and work for me. She has been a great new addition to the business. In the first semester of law school, year one, it was a requirement to take Civil Procedure, so I learned more about the history of service of process and how that applied. Many of the law courses that I took, when it came to civil procedure or criminal procedure, I would apply and implement as I built my business. I took a Law Practice Management course in my first year of law school, and I have been able to apply and implement those principles too. What is it that motivates you to achieve success for your clients? Currently, my legal practice consists mostly of personal injury cases. There are many PI attorneys who value their relationship with medical providers more than they care about their own client. Additionally, PI attorneys in many instances will collect more money than their clients. Obviously, these sorts of practices are bad for clients, as well as the practice of law in general. As an attorney, I believe that the client's needs come first. We are legal counsel and they entrust us with handling their case properly and diligently. Many times, a personal injury victim will need to speak to an attorney for the first time in their lives. It is our job, as attorneys, to make their experience as painless as possible while at the same time protecting their rights and obtaining compensation for their injuries. My philosophy as an attorney is to always put the client first and prioritise their needs above all else. Clients also have a lot more going on than just the case that I am involved with, so taking that into consideration and giving them a benefit of the doubt is important to me. What are your plans for developing your practice and your firm this year? I have been in school and running my business for a decade. I am happy to report that we work with some of the best attorneys and litigators in Las Vegas. We have earned a very good reputation, so there is no shortage of work.

I graduated from law school in May 2022 and passed the July 2022 Bar Exam on my first try. My intention for 2023 is to grow and develop my process serving business and do many things I have never done. I have never had a functioning website or logo – I have never done any paid advertising. I am in the process of tackling some of those things now to take my business to the next level. Now that I am a licensed attorney, I have the ability to work on cases with the attorneys I previously referred them to, learning the trade and practice from some of the best in town. A benefit to my position as an attorney is having worked in the field for a decade, meaning that I am familiar with the litigators who are getting their clients great results, and now I get to work directly alongside them in family law, business litigation, contract law and other fields. For the rest of 2023, I am going to continue to develop my business and branding while referring cases to other excellent attorneys in our area. Contact Nicholas Ohlson Founder Serve Vegas 9811 W.
