Justia Legal Services & Lawyers Directory

Anthony M. Wright, Esq. is a native Las Vegan and 6th generation Nevadan. He has a passion for helping people in difficult situations and is very happy that he can make a living at it. Twelve years of saying the pledge of allegiance in school indelibly calls him to duty in the fight for justice and against injustice. Four years of business and property studies at UNLV gave him insight into how economics and finances work and three years of law school gave him a modicum of power that knowledge of law provides. America is governed not so much by politicians as by the rule of law. One can argue this point, but the rule of law is what makes America and other successful countries successful. All Americans should educate themselves on their basic rights and duties under the law.
