Kendelee Leascher Works

Kendelee Leascher Works graduated with a bachelor's degree from the University of Nevada. While earning her law degree from the University of Nevada William S. Boyd School of Law, she gained valuable legal experience by completing a judicial externship, as well as interning for the Nevada Legislature, the Clark County District Attorney's Office, and the Washoe County District Attorney's Office. Upon graduation, Kendelee began her career in private practice handling primarily business litigation and personal injury defense. This has caused her to have extensive litigation experience and knowledge regarding alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation and arbitration. Kendelee later transitioned to the Clark County Public Defender's Office where she learned the ins and outs of the criminal justice system and honed her skills in the courtroom, which now serve her well in her role as a trial attorney representing injured plaintiffs and criminal defendants.

Kendelee was hired as an attorney by Christiansen Trial Lawyers in 2014.

Active in the local legal and professional community outside of her practice, Kendelee is a member of the State Bar of Nevada and has served as Secretary and Chair of the executive council of the association's young lawyers division. She is also a member of her local chapter of the American Inns of Court, a group made up of legal professionals dedicated to consistently refining and cultivating the legal profession.

Kendelee’s sole interest outside of the office includes spending time with her two sons.
