Founding of Acosta Law
Established in Las Vegas by Oscar Zeta Acosta, a maverick attorney determined to reshape the boundaries of legal representation.
Counsel Without Compromise
Founded in 1971 by Oscar Zeta Acosta, our firm has established a reputation for bold, innovative legal representation that challenges the status quo while maintaining the highest standards of professional excellence.
Acosta Law was born from a desire to represent those whose voices were often silenced in the legal system. Our founding principle—that justice should be accessible to all, regardless of their station in life—continues to guide our practice today.
What distinguishes us is our unwavering commitment to our clients' causes and our willingness to explore unconventional legal strategies when traditional approaches fall short. Our attorneys combine decades of experience with a perspective that values creativity and moral courage.
In the words of our founder, "The legal profession has become too complacent with injustice." We strive every day to embody the alternative to that complacency.
We represent our clients with unwavering determination, leaving no stone unturned in pursuit of their legal objectives. When you engage Acosta Law, you gain an ally committed to your cause with the full force of our resources and expertise.
Our practice is built on a foundation of ethical principles that transcend conventional legal boundaries. We believe that zealous representation need not come at the expense of moral responsibility.
Legal challenges rarely present themselves in textbook form. We pride ourselves on our ability to craft innovative solutions to complex problems, often finding paths to success where others see only obstacles.
From our inception, Acosta Law has maintained a deep connection to the communities we serve. We regularly dedicate our resources to pro bono work and civic engagement, believing that our success is measured not only by our case outcomes but by our contribution to society.
