Prominent Las Vegas attorney, wife killed by another attorney in law firm shooting: report

I can't believe two attorneys would be representing themselves or family members in a custody dispute, but it just sounds like a bad idea to begin with. Attorney A (apparently representing his son) shoots and kills former daughter-in-law and her new husband/attorney at the deceased's law office at a hearing before turning the gun on himself.

I'm thankful my current job allows me to truthfully tell family that I am legally prohibited from representing them. When I had my own practice, I was routinely getting requests to represent family members with an expectation that it would be free or majorly discounted.

Trying to explain why that's a bad idea almost never goes over well.

 

Never get into business with family or friends. It almost never ends well.

A few stories of true heroism are emerging from the horror. A man with a bollard confronted the perpetrator and stopped the escalator he was on, keeping him from going up another level. And when he approached a cop with his knife up, she calmly held her ground and took the motherfucker down.
