A veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan himself, General Kelly lost his youngest son, First Lieutenant Robert Kelly, while conducting combat operations in Helmand Province in 2010. General Kelly was asked if the loss was worth it by a reporter with National Public Radio. He said, … [Read more...]
The 2015 Nevada Legislature Repeals Offer of Judgment Statute NRS 17.115.
August 31, 2015 by
Another interesting change made by the 2015 Nevada Legislature was the repeal of Nevada's Offer of Judgment statute, NRS 17.115.

Can’t Keep A Good Offer Of Judgment Down.
April 6, 2010 by
Anyone familiar with our blog knows that Mills & Associates is a proponent of the Nevada Offer of Judgment rules. Recently the Nevada Supreme Court provided yet another reason why Offers are worth making. In Re Estate of Miller, 125 Nev. Adv. Op. 42, 216 P.3d 239 (September 9, 2009).
