In 2010, during the height of the recession, Brooke M. Borg was pregnant with her second child and left the firm where she had been working to start her own practice. That origin story is not incidental background: it shaped the firm’s structure, its philosophy around billing, and its approach to client relationships that, in many cases, have now spanned more than a decade. From a sole practitioner launch in the recession, Borg Law Group LLC has grown into a multi-attorney practice with offices in Las Vegas, Henderson, and Reno, Nevada.
Practice Areas
Estate Planning
The firm’s position on estate planning is that trust and will documents should do more than satisfy a legal checklist. Borg Law Group builds custom strategies for individuals, families, and business owners, accounting for the specific dynamics of each client’s assets, family structure, and goals. Nevada’s lack of a state income tax and its favorable trust laws make estate planning here distinct from planning in states with different tax and legal environments. The firm addresses both lifetime incapacity planning and post-death asset transfer.
Probate and Trust Administration
When a trust or estate requires administration after a death, the legal work does not end with the existence of a valid document. Trustees must carry out specific legal duties, account to beneficiaries, and eventually distribute assets. The firm guides families through both formal probate proceedings and trust administration, providing practical counsel during a period that is often both legally complex and personally difficult.
Business Law and Corporate Law
The firm handles business formation, planning, and ongoing legal counsel for entrepreneurs and business owners in Nevada. Formation work includes selecting the appropriate entity type, drafting governing agreements, and structuring ownership in a way that aligns with both business goals and personal estate plans. Corporate governance and compliance matters are handled as businesses evolve. Brooke Borg’s background in estate planning means business planning here is consistently integrated with the owner’s personal planning.
Real Estate Law
Legal services for real property transactions and related matters in Nevada are part of the firm’s practice. Nevada’s real estate market generates a consistent need for transaction counsel, title review, and dispute resolution.
Child Support and Family Law
Child support and family law matters are listed as practice areas of the firm.
Wills
Stand-alone will drafting and will updates are available for clients whose situations call for testamentary planning in addition to or instead of a trust-based approach.
Attorney Profiles
Brooke M. Borg, Esq. is the founding attorney. She holds a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Michigan (1997) and a J.D. from the University of Nevada Las Vegas William S. Boyd School of Law (2001), where she was a member of the charter graduating class. After admission to the Nevada State Bar and Michigan State Bar, she practiced medical malpractice defense, civil litigation, and estate planning in Michigan from 2001 to 2004, then relocated to Las Vegas in 2005. She founded Borg Law Group in 2010. Her admission to both the Nevada and Michigan bars allows the firm to serve clients with legal interests in either state.
Whitney Short is an attorney who joined the firm after clerking there, a path that reflects the firm’s approach to bringing in attorneys already familiar with how the practice operates. She holds a B.A. in Communication Studies from UNLV (2009) and a J.D. from William S. Boyd School of Law (2015), with admission to the Nevada State Bar that year. Her professional background before law included medical device sales and compliance, experience that informs her approach to regulated industries.

Client Approach
The firm describes itself as a consultative practice, meaning its focus is on building a strategy with clients rather than delivering documents and ending the relationship. Billing is not structured around hourly rates for every service; the firm designs cost-effective approaches suited to each client’s needs. Client relationships documented in public reviews span more than ten years in several cases, which reflects the firm’s emphasis on continuity. The firm also hosts free online question-and-answer sessions accessible through its Facebook presence, providing a lower-barrier point of entry for people with general questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What made Brooke Borg start the firm during the recession?
Borg left her prior position in 2010 while pregnant with her second child and during significant economic instability. The timing reflected a decision to build the kind of practice she believed clients needed, one structured around consultation and strategy rather than transactional document delivery. The recession context also informed the firm’s attention to cost structure from the beginning.
Does the firm serve clients in Michigan as well as Nevada?
Brooke Borg holds bar admissions in both Nevada and Michigan. Clients with legal interests in Michigan, such as property or business entities formed there, can be served within the same attorney-client relationship rather than requiring separate local counsel.
What is the difference between a consultative billing model and standard hourly billing?
A consultative approach means the firm works with the client to understand the full picture and design a plan, rather than billing for each discrete task. This tends to encourage more thorough planning conversations and reduces the hesitation clients sometimes feel about asking questions.
Does Whitney Short’s background in medical device sales and compliance affect the firm’s practice?
Her prior work in a regulated industry, combined with a UNLV law degree and Nevada bar admission, gives her a practical understanding of compliance-heavy business environments that is relevant to clients in regulated sectors.
How do the free online Q&A sessions work?
The firm posts sessions accessible through its Facebook page where members of the public can ask general legal questions. These are informational rather than legal advice, and they serve as an accessible way for people to get oriented before deciding whether to schedule a formal consultation.
