A Recent Client Experience
Clear guidance can make the process much easier.
“Trenton was fabulous to work with. The family trust process was confusing to me at first, but he quickly made everything clear. I highly recommend him.”
Meet the Attorney
Trenton Nield, founder of Nield Legacy Law
Personal estate planning counsel for families who want clarity.
I founded Nield Legacy Law to provide estate planning that feels clear, personal, and carefully handled. Many families know they need a living trust or updated documents, but they are not always sure where to begin or what matters most. My goal is to make that process feel easier to understand while still giving the legal work the care and precision it deserves.
My background combines financial education, legal training, and hands-on probate experience. I graduated magna cum laude from Seattle University with a degree in Finance, where I was also the No. 1 singles player and team captain on the Division I tennis team. I later earned my law degree from UNLV Boyd School of Law on a full academic scholarship.
Before focusing my practice on trusts and estates, I served as the sole probate law clerk for Clark County, Nevada. That experience continues to shape the way I approach planning today. A good estate plan should not simply work on paper. It should make things easier for the people you love, reduce confusion during difficult times, and clearly reflect your wishes.
