Peter S. Christiansen
Admitted 3 October 1994, the same day as Ralph Schwartz. His firm takes catastrophic injury and criminal matters side by side, which is unusual among the injury firms on this site.

What Nevada publishes — and what it doesn’t
Nevada prints “Disciplinary Actions” affirmatively, with no time window: where there is nothing, it says None, and where there is something, it names the sanction, the case number and the date. That is more than most states on this site manage, and it is why a clean Nevada record means more than a clean Florida one.
What it does not publish is almost everything else. There is no practice-areas field, no fee-options field and no other-states field. Texas prints all three. So for every Las Vegas listing here, the connection between the lawyer and rideshare work comes from the firm’s own site, and any second-state admission is unverifiable from this register rather than merely unchecked.
So read the badge narrowly. It means a human opened the State Bar of Nevada directory on 29 July 2026 and read what it says about Peter S. Christiansen. Nevada also issues a fuller Certificate of Good Standing and Statement of Discipline History separately on request, which implies the directory entry is a summary rather than the file. We have not requested one.
