About the firm

A Reno law office, and the people in it.

Five people in one Reno office, doing three kinds of work. A lot of people are nervous the first time they call a law office. Nobody here wants that.

The firmHow the office works

The whole process first, then the first step.

This office explains what the documents do and what the process is, with compassion and communication. You’ll hear the whole process first, then the first step, what to expect from it, and what it costs.

The work is estate planning, probate, and real estate, for Washoe County and the California counties along the state line. Both sides of a landlord–tenant matter are welcome, and so are both sides of a dispute, though never both at once.

Jenny McMenomy

Born and raised in Northern Nevada, Jenny went to Galena High School and the University of Nevada, Reno, and came home to practice in 2018. Her goal, in her words: to be approachable to the average person, and not be scary.

Before opening the firm she worked several sessions at the Nevada State Legislature, including as Executive Assistant and Policy Analyst to the Speaker of the Assembly, and in government and regulatory affairs for an energy company in San Francisco. She is admitted in both Nevada and California, and California matters are handled from the Reno office.

She practices estate planning, probate, and real estate, including landlord–tenant work, for tenants as well as landlords. Her measure of a good first meeting is that people leave it comfortable about what the next steps are.

Jenny was the most knowledgeable, kindest and considerate attorney we’ve ever worked with. She’s no shrinking violet, either. She knows her field and does not tolerate nonsense. I highly recommend her.

Jennifer went above and beyond for me when dealing with my mother-in-laws probate case, she gave her extra time and services without question, making me feel at ease in a very confusing an frustrating situation. I highly recommend her services!

Jenny is a top notch attorney. She handled some updates to my trust for my wife and I, there are few estate attorneys in Reno with a better moral compass and work ethic. I highly recommend her for all your estate needs.
