Gina Bongiovi Lawyer Las Vegas

GINA BONGIOVI

Founder

As one of the few native Las Vegans left in town, I’m proud to still call Las Vegas home. I’m also proud to call myself a Rebel, having graduated magna cum laude from the UNLV Honors College with a B.S.B.A. in marketing and minor in business law in 2001. In 2007, I was one of the first students to earn a dual law degree/MBA from the William S. Boyd School of Law and College of Business at UNLV.

In 2005, I started a marketing company and couldn’t find a lawyer that was willing or able to help a startup like me. After hearing similar stories from other entrepreneurs, I decided I would dedicate my practice to serving small businesses. With my education and real-world experience, I provide my clients with business-minded legal advice that addresses all facets of business ownership.

When I’m not working, I love to cook and spend time with my four-legged children. As a passionate animal lover, I have rescued several homeless animals, reunited numerous stray dogs with their owners, and provide pro bono counsel to several animal rescues.

I am a member of the State Bar of Nevada, and the American Bar Association including the Young Lawyers Section, Solo and Small Firm Division, and Business Law Division.

I am admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada and all Nevada state courts.

  • Deans’ Advisory Council Member – UNLV Honors College, Lee Business School
