Sec. 01 — Our promise
Plain answers · Clear fees · Real care
Law, without the intimidation.
you’d be surprised how often we say “you don’t need us”
Most people put this off for years — not because they don’t care, but because law firms feel cold, confusing, and expensive. We built McMenomy Law to be the opposite.
Whether you own one home or twelve, whether you’re planning ahead or picking up the pieces, you’ll be met the same way: plain answers, honest prices, and people who treat your family like it matters. Because it does.
Clear fees, no surprises
Most of our estate planning is flat-fee, quoted before we begin. When hourly work is unavoidable, you’ll always know where things stand. Nobody likes a mystery invoice.
Your pace, not ours
Grief has no deadline, and neither does good planning. We move as fast as you need — and never faster than you’re comfortable with.
Sec. 02 — What we do
Three focus areas, deep experience
Three things, done exceptionally well.
Estate planning, probate, and real estate are what we practice every single day — for ranchers and renters, founders and retirees, and everyone in between.
Estate Planning01
Plans for the people you love
Wills, trusts, and powers of attorney that make sure the right people are cared for — and the wrong surprises never happen.
- Revocable living trusts & wills
- Powers of attorney & healthcare directives
- Nevada asset protection trusts
Probate02
Guidance through what comes after
When you’ve lost someone, the court process shouldn’t make it harder. We carry the legal weight so you can carry what matters.
- Probate administration, start to finish
- Small-estate affidavits & set-asides
- Trust administration & disputes
Real Estate03
The law of home and land
From first closings to boundary disputes, clear counsel for the biggest purchases — and biggest assets — most families ever have.
- Purchases, sales & closings
- Deeds, title & transfer-on-death planning
- Boundary, easement & HOA disputes
Also available: general civil litigation. Landlord–tenant matters are handled on a discounted-consultation basis — just ask.
Sec. 03 — How it works
From first call to good order
Three steps. No mystery. No pressure.
01
A conversation, not a commitment
Tell us what’s going on. We’ll tell you honestly what your options are — including whether you need a lawyer at all. No retainer required to talk.
02
A plan with a clear price
Before we begin, you’ll know exactly what we’ll do, how long it takes, and what it costs. Most estate plans are a single flat fee.
03
Everything in good order
Documents signed, notarized, recorded, and explained — with copies organized where your family can actually find them.

Attorneys & staff

No associates you’ll never meet. No phone trees. The person who answers your questions is the person handling your matter.
Sec. 05 — In their words
Client stories
Client stories
“I put off writing a will for ten years because I dreaded the stuffy-lawyer experience. This was nothing like that. It felt like planning, not paperwork.”
“When my father passed, I didn’t know where to start. They walked us through probate step by step and never once made me feel foolish for asking.”
“Our closing hit a snag on a Friday afternoon. Marcus picked up, explained our options in plain English, and had it solved by Tuesday.”
