Richard A. Harris
Richard Harris has been a member of the State Bar of Nevada since September 1980 — 45 years, the second-longest career of anyone we list. His record shows no disciplinary actions.
His bar number is 505. Nevada issues them in sequence, so that number places him among the first few hundred lawyers the state ever admitted. It's the kind of detail that only turns up in a register.
The bar record
What "Exempt Active" means
His status reads ATTORNEY Exempt Active. That's a phrase worth stopping on, because "exempt" sounds like something is missing from a licence, and it isn't.
Put together: a senior lawyer, past 70, who has not stopped practising. He carries the same annual CLE and disclosure obligations as everyone else on this site and pays no licence fee, which is a courtesy Nevada extends on age. Admitted in 1980, the arithmetic fits.
We're spelling this out because a reader who checked his record themselves would see "Exempt" and reasonably wonder. The answer is dull, and dull answers are worth printing too.
What Nevada's register gives you
Nevada prints "Disciplinary Actions: None" affirmatively, which puts it alongside Illinois and Arizona rather than New York. It also publishes the bar number, the admission date and a specialization field — more than several larger states.
One limit we should name. What we've checked is the public directory entry. The State Bar of Nevada separately issues a Certificate of Good Standing and Statement of Discipline History on request, which implies the directory view is a summary rather than the complete file. We haven't requested one. As with every state we've used, the register answers the question it chooses to answer — and this is now seven states, each drawing that line in a different place.
Practice
The State Bar records his specialization as personal injury and his firm as Richard Harris Law Firm, at 801 South 4th Street in Las Vegas.Verified He holds a law degree from McGeorge.Verified
Rideshare is not a stated speciality on his bar record, which lists personal injury generally. That's seven of the ten firms we've now bar-checked. The pattern hasn't wavered: most attorneys who appear in rideshare searches run general injury practices. Ask how often they handle the driver-status question before you sign.
