Joel F. Hansen
I was born in Sparks, Nevada in 1944, graduated with honors from Sparks High School, served a stint in the Army where I obtained the rank of staff sergeant, graduated with honors from Brigham Young University in 1969, taught school for four years, and then, at age 31, I entered the J. Reuben Clark Law School at BYU, graduating with honors in 1978. I have been a successful trial attorney in Las Vegas, Nevada, for the past twenty-four years, having faced and beaten in trial some of the best lawyers in Las Vegas. In 1994 I left my position as a partner in the law firm of Edward, Hale, and Hansen and started my own firm, as Hansen & Hansen and now known as Hansen & Rassmussen. I'm active in community affairs. I was recently awarded the Silver Beaver by the Boy Scouts of America, I'm active in my church, and I am currently serving as the State Chairman of my political party. I'm a fighter for the things I think are right, and I'm a fighter for my client's rights in Court.

Jonathan J. Hansen
I was born in 1971 in Reno, Nevada, and moved with my family to Las Vegas, Nevada, in 1978 when my Dad accepted a position with the Clark County District Attorney's office. I graduated from Western High School with honors in 1990, later graduated with honors from Brigham Young University with a degree in history, and then in 1999 I obtained my law degree from the University of San Diego. My second year of law school was unusual in that I spent the year as a visiting student at Brigham Young University, J. Reuben Clark Law School. In 1999 I passed the Nevada Bar, one of the toughest in the country (a 60% pass rate). I am now a partner in the firm of Hansen and Rassmussen. I've had experience in many arbitrations, judge trials, and jury trials, and in particular I have had much experience in family law, such as custody battles, divorces, and setting up guardianships. We try to settle these cases between the parties if possible, but if the other side makes unreasonable demands, we are fully prepared to go to trial to protect your rights. I am an Eagle Scout, active in my church, and a member of the central committee of my political party. I believe that Americans have rights, and that we need to fight for them. I will fight for your rights and take your case to trial if necessary.
