Our Story

Two Decades of Fighting for What's Right

Founded in 2006 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Liberty Shield Legal began with a single purpose: to give individuals and small businesses the same level of legal firepower that was previously available only to large corporations.

Over nearly two decades, we have grown into one of the Southwest's most respected consumer protection and civil litigation practices — handling everything from predatory lending cases to complex class actions and federal regulatory matters.

Our team of four expert attorneys brings over 55 combined years of experience, a track record of more than 500 won cases, and an unwavering commitment to every client we represent.

We started this firm because we believed that access to aggressive, skilled legal representation should not be limited to those who can afford to fight. Twenty years later, that belief still drives every decision we make.

What We Stand For

Inclusion

Our bilingual team ensures that language is never a barrier to justice. We serve the full diversity of our community with equal dedication.

Excellence

We hold ourselves to the highest standards of legal practice — in our research, our writing, our strategy, and our courtroom performance.

Federal Partnership

Aligned with the Bureau of Consumer Protection

Our practice is closely aligned with the mission of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection — stopping deceptive, unfair, and fraudulent business practices that harm American consumers. We bring that same standard to every case we take, and we stay current with federal enforcement priorities to give our clients the most effective representation available.

Our Mission

What We Set Out to Do

Our mission is to provide aggressive, principled, and accessible legal representation to consumers, individuals, and businesses who need it most. We exist to level the playing field — to stand between our clients and those with the power and resources to exploit them.

Our Vision

Where We're Heading

We envision a legal landscape where every individual — regardless of income or background — has access to top-tier legal counsel. Liberty Shield Legal aims to expand that access across the Western United States, growing our team and deepening our impact with every case we take.
