Clark County’s Eighth Judicial District Court has hired Wesley Yamashita to serve as Probate Commissioner. Yamashita replaces Thomas Biggar who retired in August.
Recently a partner with the law firm of Greene, Roberts, and Rasmussen, PLLC., Yamashita is a licensed attorney for the State of Nevada and was licensed in the State of Utah. He previously worked as an Alternate Hearing Master in the District Court.
Yamashita has been practicing primarily probate law in the State of Nevada for more than 20 years and was the top candidate out of an outstanding pool of applicants. He has the requisite skills and his knowledge of probate law will allow him to contribute immediately to the administration of probate matters with minimal transition time, according to Chief Judge Kathy A. Hardcastle.
