About Kevin James
Kevin James Coburn entered law practice shortly after finishing law school. He earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Dayton School of Law in 2023 and moved to Nevada to begin his legal career. The law degree is recent, but his colleagues describe him as methodical and attentive to detail in day-to-day courtroom preparation and office work.
He joined Las Vegas Defense Group as an associate in 2024. The firm operates offices in Las Vegas, Henderson and Reno, and Coburn’s work has taken him to each location. As an associate, he handles legal research, prepares pleadings, assists at hearings and helps coordinate case discovery for more senior attorneys on the team.
Coburn’s academic record is straightforward: a three-year program that concluded in 2023. During law school he completed the standard curriculum required for a J.D. and moved quickly into practice after graduation. He has kept ties to legal education by staying current on developments in Nevada law and attending continuing legal education offered by local providers.
He is admitted to practice in Nevada and has been building a practice in the state since finishing law school. His early years at the firm have been a period of practical training. He has worked on motions, client interviews and the procedural mechanics of litigation. Those tasks are common for associates and have given him repeated courtroom exposure and file management experience.
Coburn maintains membership in a professional association and participates in activities the group offers. That involvement keeps him engaged with peers and provides access to resources that assist day-to-day legal work. He uses those resources to stay current on court rules and procedural changes in Nevada.
Colleagues say he contributes to a steady workflow at the firm. He is often tasked with detailed briefing assignments and case preparation that support trial-ready files. He also handles communications with clients and opposing counsel under the supervision of more senior attorneys.
Now in practice, Coburn continues to develop his litigation skills at Las Vegas Defense Group. He works across the firm’s Las Vegas, Henderson and Reno offices and handles defense-related matters as part of the firm’s team-based approach to representation.
