Background

About Steven Klearman

I'm a trial lawyer with a long background in Nevada law and I've fought for justice for my clients in Nevada courts for more than 36 years. I am Board Certified in Injury Law in Nevada. I have an extensive background in serious injury cases and I've handled many wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases in my career working on behalf of Nevada injury victims. My law firm routinely handle everything from small auto accidents to multi-million dollar cases. I came to Nevada in 1988 and worked for five years under the supervision of former Nevada Governor, Robert List, at what was then Beckley, Singleton, DeLanoy, Jemison and List.(Beckley, Singleton merged with Lewis and Roca in 2008). I later served as Managing Shareholder of Barber, Klearman and Associates. Since 2005, I've been the Managing Shareholder of Steven J. Klearman & Associates, a civil litigation law firm located in Reno, Nevada, and I practice primarily in the area of injury law. I've handled more than injury cases and my firm is constantly involved in fighting out cases within the Nevada court system. I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. I studied as a fellowship student of Mandarin Chinese in Taipei, Taiwan (and got to live in Taipei for more than a year) before I earned my B.A,magna cum laude, from the University of Missouri. Then I studied international law at the University of Notre Dame’s Concannon Programme of International Law in London (and lived in London for more than a year) before I received my J.D. from Washington University School of Law in St. Louis. I completed Harvard Law School’s mediator training course in I was subsequently appointed as a mediator in the United States District Court, District for Nevada. I am also a court-appointed arbitrator in the Washoe County District Court system and regularly hear cases and make decisions with jurisdiction up to plus fees and costs.
