Nevada’s 33rd Attorney General

Adam Paul Laxalt, a fourth generation Nevadan born in Reno, served as Nevadaโ€™s 33rd Attorney General from 2015-2019, entering office as the youngest Attorney General in the country at the time.

As Nevadaโ€™s Attorney General and top law enforcement officer, Laxalt took a bold, results-driven approach to serving the people of Nevada, protecting the stateโ€™s most vulnerable citizens, and keeping its communities safe. 

One of Laxaltโ€™s top priorities was pursuing justice for victims of sexual assault, which he did by taking on Nevadaโ€™s horrendous backlog of more than 8,000 untested sexual-assault evidence kits. He also fought for victims of human trafficking and secured the first human trafficking conviction in the history of his office. In addition, Laxalt led efforts to protect Nevadaโ€™s seniors, creating a financial fraud unit to address issues including abuse of the elderly and guardianship exploitation.

Laxalt launched the stateโ€™s first-ever Law Enforcement Summit, which he held twice a year, bringing officials from Nevadaโ€™s 17 counties together to determine how local law enforcement could more effectively address emerging criminal trends.

Laxalt also led in the effort to combat the opioid crisis that has affected so many people in Nevada and across our country. On behalf of victims, he sued big pharmaceutical companies over issues including deceptive marketing practices regarding the risks and benefits of prescription opioids as well as manipulation of drug prices. In that same month, he launched โ€œNevadaโ€™s Prescription for Addiction,โ€ an opioid initiative to combat the use, abuse and misuse of prescription drugs in Nevada, which received unanimous, bipartisan approval from the Nevada Legislatureโ€™s Interim Finance Committee. Also within that month, he announced the appointment of the stateโ€™s first-ever statewide opioid coordinator in the Office of the Attorney General.

While in office, Laxalt remained committed to his fellow veterans, creating the Office of Military Legal Assistance, a first-of-its-kind, public-private program that provides members of Nevadaโ€™s military community with free legal representation at no cost to taxpayers. The program was named a โ€œBest Practice Programโ€ by the U.S. Department of Defense, with a recommendation for duplication in states throughout the country and has helped Nevadaโ€™s servicemembers and veterans handle thousands of matters, pro bono.

Additionally, Laxalt created the stateโ€™s first-ever Federalism Unit within the Attorney Generalโ€™s Office to protect the interests of Nevadans by pushing back against the federal government in cases where it overstepped its bounds and encroached on citizensโ€™ liberties.

Defending Nevada

Laxaltโ€™s extensive record of accomplishment placed him among the most effective Attorneys General in state history and earned him broad recognition from national media outlets as well as widespread respect and praise from his former state Attorneys General.

Today, Laxalt resides in Reno, Nevada with his wife, Jaime, their daughters Sophia and Isabella, their son Jack, and their dog, Buckley.
