Southern Highlands Family Law Attorney — Serving the Southwest Side of Las Vegas
If you live in Southern Highlands and you're dealing with a divorce, a custody dispute, a probate matter, or an estate you've been meaning to put in order, I'm here. I'm Rebecca Fuller, and I've been practicing family law, estate planning, and probate in Las Vegas since 2006. When you hire my firm, you work with me — not a paralegal, not an associate, and not a rotating cast of staff who don't know your name.
Legal Services I Provide to Southern Highlands Residents
Southern Highlands is one of the most established master-planned communities in the Las Vegas metro, and the families who live here have real legal needs — from protecting what they've built to navigating the end of a marriage with as little damage as possible. Here's what I handle:
Ending a marriage doesn't end the parenting relationship. I help clients establish co-parenting plans that reduce ongoing conflict and give kids the stability they need — and I help enforce those plans when the other party isn't holding up their end.
Family Law
Divorce, legal separation, child custody, child support, alimony, modifications, prenuptial agreements, adoption, guardianship, and LGBTQ+ family law. Whether your situation is straightforward or genuinely complicated, I'll explain every step in plain language and keep your children's wellbeing at the center of every decision.
Estate Planning and Probate
Wills, trusts, living trusts, and powers of attorney for individuals and families who want their affairs in order. If a loved one has passed and you're facing the probate process — or a dispute over an estate — I handle that too, including contested probate litigation.
Personal Injury and Trademark
Wills, trusts, living trusts, and powers of attorney for individuals and families who want their affairs in order. If a loved one has passed and you're facing the probate process — or a dispute over an estate — I handle that too, including contested probate litigation.
Why Southern Highlands Clients Choose Fuller Law Practice
I've been doing this for nearly two decades, and the thing I hear most from clients isn't about legal strategy — it's that I actually talk to them. I return calls. I explain what's happening in their case. I don't hide behind legal jargon to make myself seem smarter or keep you dependent on me longer than necessary.
A few things that set my practice apart:
- Direct attorney access — You hire me, you work with me. Every call, every filing, every court appearance.
- 20 years of experience — I founded Fuller Law Practice in 2006, shortly after passing the bar. I've seen a lot, and I know Nevada family law courts well.
- Child-focused representation — In every custody and divorce case involving children, their stability and wellbeing come first.
- LGBTQ+-affirming — My practice is explicitly affirming. Every client is welcome here, full stop.
- Plain-language communication — I'll tell you what's actually going on, what to expect, and what your options are — without the fog.
Serving Southern Highlands and the Southwest Las Vegas Valley
Southern Highlands sits in the southwest corner of the Las Vegas valley, bordered by communities like Summerlin to the north and the broader Henderson area to the east. I serve clients throughout this corridor, including those in nearby areas like Green Valley and the Southern Highlands zip codes along the 215.
If you're in the southwest valley and searching for a family law attorney or estate planning lawyer who knows the Clark County court system and will actually pick up the phone, my office is accessible and my calendar is open.
What to Expect When You Contact My Office
Getting started is straightforward. You can schedule a consultation directly through my online calendar, call the office, or submit the contact form and I'll follow up promptly. During our first conversation, I'll listen to your situation, answer your initial questions honestly, and tell you whether I think I'm the right fit for what you're facing. There's no pressure and no hard sell — just a real conversation about your legal options.
Frequently Asked Questions — Southern Highlands Residents
How much is my car accident case worth?
There's no honest answer to that question without knowing your specific injuries, the extent of your medical treatment, the evidence of fault, and your documented losses. Any attorney who quotes you a number before reviewing those facts is guessing. I'll give you a realistic assessment once I understand what you're actually dealing with.What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
You may still have a valid claim. Nevada's modified comparative negligence rule allows you to recover damages as long as you were less than 51% at fault. Your recovery is reduced proportionally, but partial fault doesn't eliminate it. The actual fault determination is often more favorable than accident victims expect — especially before an attorney has reviewed the facts.Do I have to pay anything upfront to hire a car accident attorney?
No. I handle car accident cases on a contingency fee basis. That means there are no upfront costs and no attorney fees unless I recover compensation for you. If your case doesn't result in a recovery, you don't owe me a fee.The other driver's insurance company wants a recorded statement. Should I give one?
Not before speaking with an attorney. Recorded statements are used to lock in your account of the accident before you fully understand your injuries or the extent of your damages. Adjusters are skilled at asking questions in ways that can be used to minimize your claim. You have the right to decline until you've had a chance to consult with counsel.What if my injuries didn't show up right away?
Delayed-onset injuries are common in car accidents — whiplash, soft tissue damage, and concussions often don't produce obvious symptoms in the immediate aftermath of a crash. Seeking medical attention promptly, even when you feel relatively okay, creates the documentation that connects your injuries to the accident. Gaps in treatment make claims harder to support, so the sooner you're evaluated, the better.
