Our Story
Two Decades of Fighting for What Matters
Sierra Estate Law was founded by Thomas Crane in 2003 with a simple mission: to provide the kind of tenacious, personalized legal representation that large firms often fail to deliver. What began as a solo practice in a modest downtown office has grown into one of northern Nevada's most respected litigation firms.
Today, our team of five attorneys handles cases across six practice areas, from high-stakes personal injury and business litigation to employment law, estate planning, real estate, and criminal defense. Despite our growth, we have never lost sight of what makes us different: direct attorney access, aggressive advocacy, and a genuine commitment to every client's outcome.
Our attorneys have collectively recovered over $50 million for our clients, tried more than 200 cases to verdict, and earned recognition from Super Lawyers, Martindale-Hubbell, and the National Trial Lawyers. But the achievement we value most is the trust our clients place in us during the most challenging moments of their lives.
