My name is Terry Coffing and I am running for Judge in dept 27 of the Eighth Judicial District Court in Clark County Nevada. I have been primarily a civil litigator in Las Vegas for the last 30+ years specializing in business and real estate cases. I have tried numerous jury and bench trials at the district court level as well as appearing before the Nevada Supreme Court and the 9th Circuit. In addition, I have prior judicial experience as a justice of the peace Pro Tem and as a Judge for a native American tribe. My experience and qualifications set me apart in this race.
  • I will be efficient and get cases to trial or resolution as quickly as the law and justice allow.
  • I will be decisive and will not let matters linger "under advisement" for long periods of time.
  • I will work hard to be available and fair to all litigants.
I started working at a gas station at 15. I had the job for several months until school started.
I have been an AV-rated attorney for more than 25 years and currently serve on the Board of Governors for the State Bar of Nevada.
Inefficiency. Cases progress too slowly costing both sides time and money.
