Biography

As a Partner at Thierman Buck, Leah says her passion for employment law is fueled by her ability to help workers get paid what they deserve and what the law requires. A driving force behind Leah’s success is her ability to connect with her clients and to help them navigate their situations, whether due to their employers’ purposeful cost cutting or inadvertent unawareness of labor laws.

While in law school, Leah served as a teaching assistant, and as law clerk for the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office and for the Los Angeles City Attorney, Animal Protection Division. Post-law school, Leah worked as a research investigator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Office of Law Enforcement and was the Journal Clerk for the Nevada State Senate during the 77th regular and 27th special sessions.

Leah is a third generation Nevadan, her father born in Fallon, and her grandmother in Tonopah. When Leah is not working, she enjoys spending time outside with her Siberian husky mix rescue dog, snow, rain, or shine.
