Noteworthy Federal and State

Court Cases

Christian-Payne v.
Anthony L. Barney, Ltd.
Individual settlors should have a right to dispose of their hard-earned property in accordance with their own wishes, irrespective of rights that the Nevada Legislature may grant to the beneficiary of a trust. Anthony L. Barney, Ltd. was successful in arguing that a trust provision created by a settlor was controlling even when a Nevada statue permitted otherwise.
Supreme Court of Nevada | 476 P.3d 861 (Nev. 2020)
Holt v. Green
The abstention doctrine is an authority that precludes federal courts from hearing cases within its jurisdictions, instead, giving state courts authority resolve disputes. Core proceedings refer to bankruptcy-related matters that are central to the bankruptcy case. Federal courts generally retain jurisdiction over core proceedings, even when abstention principles apply to other types of cases. This bankruptcy appeal clarified what claims are considered “core proceedings” for application of the abstention doctrine.
United States District Court | 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 31643
Roland v. Hickman
The prior exclusive jurisdiction doctrine is a legal principle rooted in mutual respect between courts. It states that a court will not assume in rem or quasi in rem jurisdiction over property that is already under the jurisdiction of another court with concurrent authority. Anthony L. Barney, Ltd. was successful in demonstrating that the Internal Revenue Service could not assume jurisdiction over marital funds already under the jurisdiction of the Nevada state court.
United States District Court | 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 40422

Our Clients Trust Us

“I hired the law offices of Anthony L. Barney, Ltd. to represent me after previously hiring another local law firm. The previous attorney did not believe that I could win my case, so I sought a second opinion from the attorneys at Anthony L. Barney, Ltd. Not only did I win my case, but my attorney’s recovered over $100,000 for me. The attorneys at Anthony L. Barney, Ltd. represented me from the beginning of the case to the appeal before the state supreme court. They were professional and courteous, and kept me informed throughout the litigation proceedings. I would recommend their legal services to anyone.”
Roy C.
“I am so grateful to Zach Holyoak for believing in my case. I spoke with five other attorneys who all told me I did not have a claim, but Zach immediately recognized I had a valid case. I felt unsure of the situation, but Zach and his staff reassured me. That is one of the benefits of a small firm like this—they truly care about each individual client. I got to know each of the employees, and they took incredible care of me and my family. Before hiring Zach, the process had been stressful, but he and his staff lightened some of the burden. Zach did what others said was impossible. I know we would not have received anything, but Zach got us hundreds of thousands of dollars. I highly recommend him and Anthony L. Barney, Ltd."

“... [Anthony Barney] has principles, ethics, and I'm grateful after litigating almost 2 years that he not only put the final nail in the coffin, but showed the judge and the opposing lawyer that all their lies, antics, and unethical behaviors were futile...”
Dana W.
“Zach Holyak has been amazing, fair, and honest. He has such a great temperament and really explains things in a clear easy to understand manner regarding estate law. I highly recommend him and would give him 5000 stars if it were allowed. So many lawyers out there are just in it for the money, but Zach truly cares about his clients over making a buck.”
Melissa T.
“Hired Mr. Barney for a difficult probate/ estate case in Pahrump. He's proven to be knowledgeable and able to prevail on my behalf. It is my first time hiring an attorney and there was a learning curve but when I stopped trying to understand what he was doing and allowed him to do what he knows how to do it worked better. Fees do add up so that's was a bit of a shock to the system but I couldn't navigate this process on my own so I'm glad I found him and that he's on my side.”
Vivian G.
“Trust law is complex and we were not familiar with the process. We found ourselves at odds with a successor trustee and basically in the dark. Attorney Zach Holyoak was the the equalizer. He coached us through the process and kept the other party moving forward with pace and transparency. Highly recommend the Anthony Barney firm.”
Jim S.
