With proud roots that run five generations deep in Nevada, the name Hicks has long been synonymous with premier legal acumen, an unwavering commitment to justice, and dedication to public service. From McDonald Carano LLP\u2019s founding office in Reno\u2014where three of the four family members brought their expertise and honed careers of distinction\u2014to the Washoe County District Attorney\u2019s Office, Nevada Attorney General\u2019s Office and the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, the Hicks family\u2019s influence spans Nevada\u2019s legal spectrum. Though one member of this quartet is no longer with us, their combined legacy remains a cornerstone of the Hicks family\u2019s tradition of esteemed personal character and professional excellence. Together, they represent a dynasty of intellect, integrity and humble service that has both inspired and shaped the legal landscape of their community for generations.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47424926 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"47424926\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<figure class=\"wp-caption\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1008\" height=\"672\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/attorneyatlawmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Attorney-at-Law_In-Courtroom_3479_Suit-Fix.png?resize=1008%2C672&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-185340\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Bud, Chris and Josh Hicks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7d53128 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7d53128\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings='\"background_background\":\"classic\"'>\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-337f424b\" data-id=\"337f424b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be9070c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"be9070c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<figure class=\"wp-caption\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"827\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/attorneyatlawmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Larry-Hicks-827x1024.jpg?resize=827%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-185346\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">  Larry Hicks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb2a727 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bb2a727\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\u201c<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d6f63e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8d6f63e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Often described as &#8220;the consummate professional,&#8221; Larry Hicks was more than just a legal giant\u2014he was a leader in his community, a mentor, and an inspiration to countless colleagues and friends.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-19834f19\" data-id=\"19834f19\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f8be80a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5f8be80a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>When conversing with any member of this family, one name inevitably comes up \u2013 Larry. A revered pillar in Reno\u2019s close-knit community, the late Larry Hicks made an unforgettable impact on Nevada\u2019s legal landscape. A true \u201chome-grown\u201d son of Reno, Larry was raised in the heart of the city, where his parents operated the iconic Holiday Hotel and Casino during the 1960s. He attended local schools, graduated from Reno High School, and earned his degree from the University of Nevada in 1965.<\/p>\n<p>Larry\u2019s remarkable legal career began after law school when he joined the Washoe County District Attorney\u2019s Office as a deputy district attorney. His sharp intellect and committed service to the administration of justice quickly earned him the responsibility of prosecuting some of the region\u2019s most high-profile cases. In 1974, he was elected Washoe County district attorney, serving with distinction until 1978.<\/p>\n<p>Following his time in public service, Larry transitioned to private practice joining McDonald Carano LLP in 1979, where he continued building a reputation as one of Nevada\u2019s most respected legal minds. His legal expertise and professional integrity caught the attention of national leaders. In 2001, he was appointed to the federal bench as a U.S. District Court judge by President George W. Bush. For 23 years he served with excellence, going on to earn the Nevada State Bar President\u2019s Award for lifetime achievement in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Often described as \u201cthe consummate professional,\u201d Larry Hicks was more than just a legal giant\u2014he was a leader in his community, a mentor, and an inspiration to countless colleagues and friends. His influence will endure far beyond his untimely passing in May 2024. Larry left behind a legacy of justice shared by three equally astute and respected family members \u2013 his brother, A.J. \u201cBud,\u201d his nephew, Joshua, and his son, Christopher.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-561b1fdb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"561b1fdb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings='\"background_background\":\"classic\"'>\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-400a8865\" data-id=\"400a8865\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-198e9aa1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"198e9aa1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<figure class=\"wp-caption\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"724\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/attorneyatlawmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Attorney-at-Law_In-Chambers_7857_Pants-Fix.png?resize=1000%2C724&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-185339\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Josh, Bud and Chris Hicks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-394cfde5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"394cfde5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>\u201cWe were numbers six and seven in the law firm,\u201d says Bud, referring to his and Larry\u2019s positions at McDonald Carano, when they joined as partners in January 1979. As chair of the firm\u2019s litigation group, Larry enhanced the firm\u2019s commercial and complex litigation experience. Meanwhile, Bud expanded the firm\u2019s expertise in gaming law, serving as chair of the firm\u2019s gaming and administrative law practice. He was also instrumental in opening McDonald Carano\u2019s Las Vegas office.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on their early years, Bud recalls working with his brother. \u201cLarry was two years older than me and already working in the Washoe County District Attorney\u2019s Office while I was attending law school. When I graduated, he helped me get a job working as a criminal trial deputy in the District Attorney\u2019s Office where I had clerked during law school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, in 1973 with the impending retirement of the existing Washoe County district attorney, Larry expressed plans to seek that office. \u201cI saw the writing on the wall,\u201d says Bud. \u201cI was certain he would win the election, and I thought it might be awkward for me to remain. I began looking around for other opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t need to look for long. Given his already distinguished career highlighted by successful prosecutions of several gaming cheating cases, his name and reputation were familiar to Nevada\u2019s Attorney General Robert List. \u201cRobert List needed to bring on a full-time deputy for his gaming division,\u201d Bud says, \u201cso I was invited to his office for an interview. He offered me the job on the spot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after beginning this position, Bud was appointed chief deputy of the attorney general\u2019s gaming division. He began his tenure with that office, serving as counsel to the Nevada Gaming Control Board and Nevada Gaming Commission. He attended his first meetings of both in January 1974. With his exposure to the gaming industry from his parents\u2019 Holiday Hotel and Casino, the position was the genesis of what would become Bud\u2019s long and impressive career in the international gaming industry.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4889a7b7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4889a7b7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings='\"background_background\":\"classic\"'>\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5beb01e5\" data-id=\"5beb01e5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55558054 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"55558054\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>Bud has received myriad awards throughout his career, including the distinguished Senior Statesperson recognition in gaming and licensing law from Chambers USA. And, through his prominent leadership, he co-founded the Nevada-headquartered International Association of Gaming Advisors in 1980 (originally established as the National Association of Gaming Attorneys).<\/p>\n<p>Poised to influence and impact the rapidly changing landscape of gaming in Nevada, Bud not only had a front row seat to witness historical growth and evolution, but also played a key role in numerous instances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNevada\u2019s gaming industry was undergoing a remarkable transformation during that period,\u201d he says. \u201cMy role in the attorney general\u2019s gaming division gave me a unique chance to engage with an industry experiencing unprecedented growth\u2014not just within the state, but also on a national and global scale. I often say I was fortunate to be in the right place at the right time, but I also understood that this was an incredible opportunity to establish a dynamic and successful law practice in the specialty area of gaming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bud\u2019s experience also led to authoring published fictionalized works inspired by real gaming events and characters, including \u201cFortune\u2019s Trail \u2013 A Nevada Story\u201d and \u201cThe Count Room.\u201d Bud currently serves as chairman of the gaming compliance committee of one of America\u2019s largest gaming companies.<\/p>\n<p>Larry and Bud aren\u2019t the only prominent members of the Hicks legal legends dynasty.

We\u2019ve always been a very close family, spending a lot of time together. My dad and uncle are the two people I\u2019ve always most admired. Just being around them, around the law firm and around the courtrooms, and seeing how they operated always impressed me. Despite this huge influence, I don\u2019t think I actually made a conscious decision to become an attorney until college. During that time, I had many conversations with my father about the practice of law. I began applying to law schools and never looked back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After earning his law degree, Josh began his legal career as a law clerk at the Nevada Supreme Court and the United States District Court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoining the same firm where my father and uncle had been so successful and very happy was definitely something I aspired to. I saw McDonald Carano as an elite team of lawyers. It was a team I always wanted to be part of once I decided to become a lawyer and go to law school,\u201d Josh says. \u201cFrom seven to 60 attorneys, it\u2019s a much larger firm now than when they began there, but I\u2019m proud to say the same ethics and dedication to clients prevails. McDonald Carano celebrated its 75th Anniversary in 2024 and it was exciting to also celebrate my father\u2019s 45th year at the firm and close to my 10th year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before becoming a part of McDonald Carano, Josh held the roles of general counsel and chief of staff to former Gov. Jim Gibbons. Earlier in his career, he served as a senior deputy attorney general under former Attorneys General Frankie Sue Del Papa, Brian Sandoval and George Chanos. During this time, he provided legal representation for the Nevada Department of Taxation, the Nevada Tax Commission, and the Nevada Secretary of State.<\/p>\n<p>Josh has also argued cases before Nevada District Courts, the Nevada Supreme Court, the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.\u00a0 A lifelong Raiders fan, in 2016, Josh had the honor of representing the Las Vegas Raiders before the Nevada Legislature and helped bring the Hicks family\u2019s favorite team to their home state.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-70a50e5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"70a50e5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings='\"background_background\":\"classic\"'>\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-818c9d4\" data-id=\"818c9d4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b73fe75 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b73fe75\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>The apple doesn\u2019t fall far from the tree is a well-worn adage that certainly applies to the Hicks family. And, not surprisingly, cousins Josh and Chris grew up in this close-knit family and share many identical recollections of their childhood and how they admire the men who set the standards in their family. Now in his 20th year at the Washoe County District Attorney\u2019s Office and 11th year as the district attorney, a position his father once held, Chris also recalls the influence of his father and uncle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs far back as I can remember it was always in the back of my mind to be an attorney,\u201d says Chris. \u201cThe men I most admired and looked up to \u2013 my dad and my uncle \u2013 I saw as such successful people. They were (and are) so highly regarded in their respective careers and very involved in the betterment of the legal profession. In addition, they were (and are) both dedicated family men always there for their children and very supportive of their wives. At the same time, both men had (and have) lots of friends and engaging hobbies. Benefiting by growing up with these two amazing role models, it\u2019s inevitable that they would have a tremendous impact. Ultimately, I always knew I wanted to find a way to have a life like theirs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI obviously had the wonderful example my father set,\u201d Chris adds. \u201cLike him, I was drawn to being a prosecutor early in my career. I wasn\u2019t positive it would be my career path, but after accepting a prosecutor position with the Carson City District Attorney\u2019s Office in 2002, the scales were for tipped for me.\u00a0 I knew for certain this would be a career I would love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chris joined the Washoe County District Attorney\u2019s Office in 2005 and quickly established himself as a top-notch trial attorney successfully prosecuting some of the region\u2019s most high-profile murder cases. In 2014 he was elected to the position of district attorney. Taking on the lessons in leadership and community service he learned from his father, Chris\u2019 prominent achievements as district attorney include spearheading efforts to pass and implement Nevada\u2019s Victims Bill of Rights \u2013\u202fMarsy\u2019s Law; expanding the Washoe County Child Advocacy Center into an award-winning facility; creating a first-of-its-kind Specialty Court Diversion Team; and elevating the transparency of the office. He is president of the Nevada District Attorneys Association and vice-chair of Nevada\u2019s Prosecutor Advisory Council, serves on Nevada\u2019s Sentencing Commission, and is an appointed director on the National District Attorneys Association Board of Directors.<\/p>\n<p>Whether consciously or not, from the very start of his career, this young attorney followed in his father\u2019s footsteps with a finesse and ease of an heir apparent. Also born and raised in Reno, Chris attended the University of Nevada and was a member of the inaugural graduating class of the Boyd School of Law in Las Vegas. \u202f<\/p>\n<p>As he had anticipated so many years ago, the career path Chris chose has proven to be not only fulfilling and auspicious, but also one that he reflects on with pride.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2dee8e0\" data-id=\"2dee8e0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e8c332 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0e8c332\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<figure class=\"wp-caption\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/attorneyatlawmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Attorney-at-Law_Outside-Courthouse_7839-683x1024.png?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-185345\" alt=\"Chris Hicks\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Chris Hicks <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6bae587 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6bae587\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\u201c<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-803ed56 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"803ed56\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">I obviously had the wonderful example my father set.
