Janice Jacovino
Jacovino Law OfficeI am the founder of the Jacovino Law Office. Jacovino Law Office is located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Our clients and their legal issues are given individual, personal attention. Mediation and Litigation experienced so our clients receive both collaborative focused attention and also adversarial and strategic trial preparation if a resolution can not be reached. I attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and obtained a Bachelor’s Degree with honors in Psychology. I graduated with a Juris Doctorate from the William S. Boyd School of Law at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2009. Through my legal education and career, I have participated in many community based legal programs including internships with the Family Court and Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada, and community outreach and education programs through Boyd. I participate in Legal Aid’s Ask an Attorney sessions and judged numerous mock trials, oral arguments, and client counseling competitions. I look forward to meeting new clients and helping them understand their rights, prepare for court, and reach a beneficial outcome.
