About Gary
Gary Thompson studied business and hotel administration at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, earning a B.S. in 1983. He later turned to law and received his J.D. from the University of San Diego School of Law in 1992. Those two degrees define an unusual through-line: one grounded in commerce and hospitality, the other in law. Together they shape how he approaches problems and advises clients.
After law school he established his practice in Nevada and became active in the state's legal community. He has been a member of the Nevada Justic Association since 2001, participating in the association's programs and events over the years. That membership has been a steady part of his professional life and a place where he has stayed connected to peers across the state.
In 2013 he joined RIGHT Lawyers as a lawyer. The listing of that role is the clearest public marker of his affiliation. Over time he combined the practical orientation of his undergraduate training with courtroom and office experience, aiming to offer clients clear guidance rooted in understanding both business realities and legal rules. He has practiced in Nevada jurisdictional matters and has built a local practice tied to the state's legal ecosystem.
Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in approach. He tends to emphasize careful preparation and plainspoken advice. That style reflects a background that crosses industries and disciplines, and it shows in how he frames issues: commercially sensible and legally grounded. He has participated in continuing legal education and professional gatherings, often engaging on topics where business considerations and legal obligations meet.
Today he is listed at RIGHT Lawyers in Nevada. He maintains membership in the Nevada Justic Association and remains active in the local bar community. He continues to represent clients in matters arising under Nevada law and draws on his combined business and legal training in day-to-day practice. He currently practices at RIGHT Lawyers in Nevada, handling legal matters in the state.
