De Castroverde Law Group is committed to providing the Las
Vegas community with outstanding representation, and we wouldn’t be able to do
that without our top-notch attorneys. We pride ourselves on having a team of
knowledgeable, experienced, and effective lawyers, and we are excited to
announce a new addition to our firm: Attorney Jennifer Gastelum.
Jennifer is a first-generation American whose parents immigrated
to the United States from Mexico before she was born. From a young age she
understood the importance of getting a good education and she worked hard to
achieve her goals. Jennifer’s family moved to Las Vegas in 1996 and she
attended Rancho High School. Her scholastic achievements earned her two Career
Day Latin Chamber of Commerce Scholarships and the Millennium Scholarship upon
her graduation from high school.
Jennifer earned a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from
the University of Las Vegas, Nevada, and graduated cum laude. She then began
studying law at the Boyd School of Law in Las Vegas, and in 2011 was recognized
as Student of the Year for her work with Boyd’s Community Service Program. As
part of the program, Jennifer used her fluency in Spanish to teach divorce and
custody classes for underprivileged litigants.
While earning her law degree Jennifer also participated in
Boyd’s Legal Education Assistance to Prisoners by teaching legal education
classes for Nevada inmates. She gained further legal experience by clerking for
the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada’s domestic violence unit, supporting victims
of domestic violence in family law disputes. Jennifer also completed
externships at the Clark County Public Defender’s Office and the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission. During her final semester at the Boyd School
of Law, Jennifer took part in Boyd’s Family Justice Clinic by representing
underprivileged family law litigants.
Jennifer received a CALI award for earning the highest grade
in her legal writing and analysis course, and graduated in the top third of her
class in 2013. After earning her law degree, Jennifer was licensed to practice
law by the Nevada State Bar and the Arizona State Bar.
Jennifer provides outstanding legal counsel to both English
and Spanish speaking clients in the areas of criminal defense, family, and
personal injury law, and we are proud to have her join De Castroverde Law Group.
