About Maryam
Maryam Vasek practices law in Nevada and has built a career that moves between courtroom work and behind-the-scenes case preparation. She has worked in public defender offices, private law firms and on the bench, gathering a range of procedural and client-facing experience. Her path through a variety of legal roles informs how she runs her own practice.
Early in her legal training she took on internships and rule-based externships that placed her inside working courts and defense offices. She served as an intern at the Richard Harris Law Firm and as a Rule 38 legal extern student attorney at the City of Phoenix Public Defenders Office. She held a similar Rule 38 role at the Law Offices of Kamille Dean. Those positions gave her direct exposure to criminal defense practice and courtroom procedure under supervising attorneys.
She moved from student roles into law clerk positions at several Nevada firms. She worked as a law clerk at Tarkanian & Knight and at G Law, performing legal research, drafting pleadings and assisting on hearings. She also served as a judicial law clerk at the Eighth Judicial District Court – Family Division, where she supported judges by preparing memoranda, reviewing filings and observing family court dockets.
Her time in private practice included work as an associate attorney at the office of Gregory D. Knapp, and later responsibilities that extended into consulting and trademark coordination. She worked as a legal assistant and international trademark coordinator at LegalForce RAPC and as a senior consultant at Kelsey Thomas LLC. Those roles broadened her exposure to intellectual property procedure and to client intake and management systems.
Vasek later returned to Nevada practice and took on both courtroom and firm management responsibilities. She has served as managing member and attorney of Vasek Law PLLC. She is an active member of the State Bar of Nevada and has held memberships in the American Bar Association and the Nevada Justice Association since 2021.
Her career shows a steady move from supervised student roles to positions of responsibility on both sides of the bench. She has worked in criminal defense settings, family court, and in private firm environments handling litigation and trademark matters. She currently focuses her practice at Vasek Law PLLC on matters arising in Nevada courts.
