Abe is one of Nevada’s go-to appellate lawyers. When the stakes are high, clients and trial teams seek Abe’s expertise.
Abe handles complex, high-profile litigation and appeals, such as those involving issues of first impression or procedural complications. He has appeared in more than 200 appeals and has argued before the Nevada Supreme Court, the Nevada Court of Appeals, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, resulting in more than 30 published opinions.
Abe has a reputation for excellence, civility, and fluency in appellate procedure. Because Nevada’s jurisprudence is underdeveloped, Abe understands that existing precedent may not provide easy answers; he excels at crafting creative arguments persuasive for their own merits.
Abe collaborates with trial counsel at every phase—from the complaint through post-judgment motions—to maximize success in the district court while proactively creating, framing, and preserving issues for appeal.
Abe also takes seriously the privilege of serving those who cannot afford representation. Working closely with the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada, Abe has supported dozens of indigent Nevadans in complex appeals.
Before joining Holland & Hart, Abe was a partner at Lewis Roca.
