Bruce Shapiro: Three Decades on Pecos Road
Bruce Shapiro started practicing law in Henderson in 1993, establishing a solo practice on Pecos Road at a time when Henderson was still widely regarded as a quiet residential suburb rather than the fully developed city it has since become. As the community grew around him, Shapiro expanded his practice and formally organized Pecos Law Group in 2000, assembling a team of attorneys whose combined experience now exceeds 160 years. That team includes Jack Fleeman, Paul Lemcke, and Shann Winesett, each of whom brought established caseloads and practice specialties that broadened the firm’s capabilities. Shapiro’s decision to stay rooted on Pecos Road through three decades of Henderson’s growth — rather than relocating to the Las Vegas Strip corridor where most of the valley’s law firms concentrate — was a deliberate choice to serve the community where his practice began.
Pecos Law Group operates from 8925 South Pecos Road, Suite 14A, in Henderson, handling family law, business law, personal injury, and appellate matters. The family law practice is the firm’s anchor, with particular depth in complex divorce cases involving business valuation, real property division, and custody disputes. The business law division handles formation, contract disputes, and commercial litigation for Henderson and Las Vegas Valley businesses. Personal injury and appellate work round out a practice that covers the most common legal needs of individuals and small to mid-size businesses in the southeast valley. The Pecos Road location provides direct access from the Henderson Executive Airport corridor, Green Valley, and the Anthem and Inspirada communities that have expanded Henderson’s residential footprint southward over the past two decades.
Pecos Law Group in the Las Vegas Valley
Henderson’s legal services market has matured considerably since Bruce Shapiro first hung his shingle on Pecos Road in 1993, but the city still has fewer mid-size law firms per capita than the Las Vegas Strip corridor. Most Henderson residents who need representation beyond a basic consultation end up driving to offices on Sahara Avenue, Charleston Boulevard, or Alta Drive. Pecos Law Group’s 30-plus-year presence in Henderson — with a team carrying 160 combined years of experience — offers an alternative that keeps complex family and business matters within the community. For Henderson families and business owners navigating divorce, custody, contract disputes, or civil litigation, having a firm with that depth of experience on Pecos Road rather than across town carries a practical value that extends well beyond convenience.
