How long have you been married?  26 years.  My husband and I have three girls; Jenna, Jordan, and Jessica.

What would you do if not a lawyer? A park ranger.  I love being in nature.  Although, running from bears might be a little scary.

Most Memorable Case? When I was in law school, I was forced to sue my landlord in San Diego County Court.  He wouldn’t return my deposit.  It was the first time I had been in a real court as a new attorney.   I was fully prepared for every question the judge was going to ask and every answer the landlord was going to say.  I won.  15 years later, after winning dozens of bigger cases, it’s still my favorite case.

What Makes You a Good Divorce Attorney? I am over prepared, maybe to a fault.  Like in the lawsuit involving my landlord in law school, I prepared for every possible situation or scenario. I wanted to have thought out every question that could be asked.

Favorite movie?  The Hunger Games, until I saw La La Land.

A proud moment from your childhood? Winning my 6th grade spelling bee with the word “coincidentally.”

What do you love about being a divorce lawyer?
When people come to me, whether it is for custody, post-decree issues, divorce, adoption, etc, they are at their worst moments. They are desperate for an ear who will listen to them. I enjoy the feeling of being able to help someone and hopefully turn things around and help them to turn the page. happier chapter of their lives.

What advice would you give someone looking to hire a divorce attorney?
You are not only looking for a lawyer who knows the law, you are looking for someone you can feel comfortable with in sharing truths. It’s almost like hiring a therapist. You want to feel comfortable exposing your life and sharing your vulnerabilities with this attorney. Leaving out information can really be critical to the attorney’s development of your case. If you don’t fee safe talking with your attorney about private issues, then you could hurt your case.

What separates Right Divorce Lawyers from other law firms?
Almost everyone at the firm is married and a parent! It sounds silly, but I think it makes us able to be relatable and to relate to the people we are dealing with. I could never have been a custody lawyer without having kids myself! And I am not sure I could have really understood the emotional dynamic that my clients feel about divorce if I wasn’t married myself.

What do you love about being a divorce lawyer? 
The knowledge; the power to help; the nuance of how my advice can change the course of someone’s life. Maybe they were thinking their spouse will get custody of the children just based on a false threat. Then they come to me and I explain how in Nevada custody is typically equal. I love giving them information that gives them hope for the future.

What is the hardest part about being a divorce attorney? 
Handling the array of emotions that come with a divorce or custody batter. For a client this is likely the most traumatic experience they have ever had. It can be an exercise to make sure you hear the client and what they are going through, but also advise them legally and try to help them maintain focus, tunnel vision, on the end results.

What advice would you give someone looking to hire a divorce attorney?
Consult with more than one. We all have a different style and a different approach. Your divorce attorney will be unlike any other relationship in your life. It is a collaborative effort. You need to trust them.

Personal Insights

What do you love about being a divorce lawyer?
Lawyers are hired to solve problems. And I love solving problems. Most of the typical problems an attorney is hired to fix boils to money. With divorce and custody issues, the solution to the problem is not always fixable with money. Which makes my job challenging and satisfying.

What is the hardest part about being a divorce attorney?
Explaining to the client that fault or their spouse’s problems during the marriage are probably going to have little impact on their case. The facts your spouse is a narcissist or is verbally abusive are not going to affect how the judge is going to divide their assets.

What separates Right Lawyers from other law firms?
The fact we charge a fixed fee instead of an hourly is big plus. This means our clients are not kept in the dark of how much their case is going to cost. Plus, Right Lawyers has a different mindset when it comes to helping our clients. We communicate and like to explain the process. Our goal is to solve their problems quickly and without them spending their life savings. While at the same time helping them understand the process and their options.

Make sure you’re hiring someone who is looking out for your best interest rather than someone who is just blindly telling you what you want to hear.

We are honest with our clients. We counsel our clients on reasonable outcomes and expectations

What made you want to be a lawyer?
I was a nerd growing up. Still am. From a young age, I knew I wanted a career that would challenge me intellectually and enable me to make a positive impact on people’s lives. First, I wanted to be a doctor, but I wanted a career that would harness my passion for writing. Me and my friends used to write multichapter books for fun in middle school. Becoming a lawyer perfectly combines these elements.

What advice would you give someone looking to hire a divorce attorney?
When hiring an attorney, it’s crucial to find someone who not only possesses the necessary expertise and experience but also has a genuine passion for the field they practice in. An attorney who loves their area of law will remain curious and engaged. This enthusiasm translates into a more dynamic and nuanced approach to handling your case.

Adriana Rodriguez, Office Manager & Paralegal

Adriana was born and raised in Las Vegas. She joined Right Divorce Lawyers in 2014 as a receptionist.  She excelled at everything thrown her way and has grown with Right Lawyers.   Adriana wears many hats; paralegal, office manager, and director of first impressions.

Adriana is likely the first voice you hear when you contact Right Lawyers.   Being director of first impressions is not an easy position.  It requires always being cheerful and helpful, no matter how bad a morning you’ve had, even if your home was just burglarized.  That is Adriana.  The morning after her home was robbed, she was answering client questions with a smile.

Amber Turner-Macari, Paralegal

Amber joined Right Lawyers in 2019 as a paralegal.  She was drawn to the legal field after watching Reese Witherspoon’s quirky, intelligent, and headstrong character in Legally Blonde.   Amber, not being blonde, realized she can excel in the legal profession no matter her hair color.   And excelled she has.

Amber is the firm’s most trusted litigation paralegal.   Over the last five or six years, Amber has learned how to prepare for a trial as much as any attorney.    Asking the right questions.  Asking for the right evidence.  Helping the attorney be fully prepared for the day of court is Amber’s specialty.

Amber was born in Florida, calls Texas her home state, but calls Las Vegas home. Her hobbies, when she’s not “paralegaling”, include medieval foam fighting and sewing. She has three wonderful sons, who just happen to be cats. Some say she only works as hard as she does to keep them stocked on catnip, toys, and treats. Cats are not cheap.

Personal Insights

What is your favorite movie?  Frankenfish (2004): It’s a terrible horror/sci-fi movie, but that’s the beauty of it.

What is the best vacation you have ever taken?  I go to an event each January in Chino, California for the medieval foam fighting hobby. Its four days of fighting, friends, and fun.

What is one restaurant everyone needs to eat at?  I highly recommend Monta Ramen on Spring Mountain. I have tried probably a dozen different ramen restaurants in Las Vegas and none of them come close to the same quality.
