Section titled “1. Identity and Current Position”| Field | Detail | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Full Legal Name | Julie Ann Speraw | Verified (Martindale-Hubbell) |
| Current Title | Associate Attorney | Verified (firm website + Martindale) |
| Current Firm | Pitaro & Fumo, Chtd. | Verified (multiple sources) |
| Office Address | 601 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Las Vegas, NV 89101 | Verified (firm website, Yelp) |
| Firm Phone | (702) 474-7554 | Verified (firm website) |
| Firm Website | fumolaw.com | Verified |
Notes: Martindale-Hubbell lists her office at 500 South Fourth St., Las Vegas, NV 89101, which may reflect a prior or alternate firm address. The firm website and Yelp confirm the 601 Las Vegas Blvd. South address.
2. Bar Admissions and Licensing
Section titled “2. Bar Admissions and Licensing”| Jurisdiction | Status | Bar/License Number | Admission Year | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| State of Nevada (all courts) | Active (presumed) | ISLN 1000447666 | 2019 | Verified (web search metadata; Martindale) |
| U.S. District Court, District of Nevada | Admitted | Not independently confirmed | Not confirmed | Likely accurate (firm website claim; not independently verified via PACER) |
Disciplinary History: No public disciplinary actions found in any search. The Nevada State Bar’s public discipline database did not return results for Julie Speraw. [Verified — no public discipline found]
Notes: The bar number (ISLN 1000447666) was surfaced via search result metadata referencing the State Bar of Nevada directory. Direct confirmation via the State Bar’s “Find a Lawyer” tool was not possible through web search alone. A manual lookup at nvbar.org is recommended for final verification.
3. Education
Section titled “3. Education”| Degree | Institution | Honors/Notes | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Juris Doctor (J.D.) | UNLV William S. Boyd School of Law | N/A | Verified (firm website, Martindale) |
| Bachelor of Arts, Criminal Justice | University of Nevada, Reno | Magna Cum Laude | Verified (firm website); graduation year not publicly confirmed |
| Minor: Addiction Treatment Services | University of Nevada, Reno | Concurrent with B.A. | Likely accurate (firm website only; not independently verified) |
Notes: The magna cum laude honor is stated on the firm biography and echoed in Martindale-Hubbell metadata but has not been independently confirmed through UNR records (which are not publicly searchable). No graduation years are publicly disclosed for either degree.
4. Practice Areas
Section titled “4. Practice Areas”| Area | Confidence |
|---|---|
| Criminal Defense | Verified (firm website, Martindale, LawInfo) |
| Personal Injury | Likely accurate (listed on Martindale profile metadata) |
| DUI Defense | Likely accurate (firm practice area; individual attribution not confirmed) |
| Federal Criminal Defense | Likely accurate (firm lists federal crimes practice; she holds federal court admission) |
Notes: The firm website emphasizes criminal defense as her primary focus. Martindale-Hubbell metadata also references Commercial Litigation, Arbitration & Mediation, Appeals & Legal Issues, and State Attorneys General Practice — these may be auto-generated or firm-level tags rather than her individual practice. [Needs client confirmation]
5. Professional Experience
Section titled “5. Professional Experience”| Role | Organization | Timeframe | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Associate Attorney | Pitaro & Fumo, Chtd. | Current (start date unknown) | Verified |
| Intern | Clark County Public Defender’s Office | During law school | Likely accurate (firm bio only; not independently verified) |
| Law Clerk | Local civil law firm (unnamed) | During law school | Likely accurate (firm bio only; firm not identified) |
Notes: No prior employment history beyond law school roles is publicly available. Her LinkedIn profile appears to be under a different professional identity (SkyWest Airlines affiliation visible in search results), which may predate her legal career. [Needs client confirmation on career timeline]
6. Publications and Scholarship
Section titled “6. Publications and Scholarship”| Publication | Role | Timeframe | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| UNLV Gaming Law Journal | Staff Member | 2 years (during law school) | Likely accurate (firm bio only) |
Notes: A search of the UNLV Gaming Law Journal’s online archive (scholars.law.unlv.edu/glj/) did not surface any authored articles by Julie Speraw. Staff membership on a law journal typically involves editing and cite-checking rather than authorship. No authored publications, articles, or notes were found in any public database. [Not publicly verified — staff role vs. published author distinction should be clarified with client]
7. Awards, Recognitions, and Editorial Lists
Section titled “7. Awards, Recognitions, and Editorial Lists”| Recognition | Source | Year(s) | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nevada Business Magazine — tagged articles | nevadabusiness.com/tag/julie-speraw/ | Unknown | Likely accurate (tag page exists; specific content not retrievable) |
| Legal Elite (Nevada Business Magazine) | nevadabusiness.com | Possibly 2020 or 2021 | Not publicly verified (tag page suggests inclusion but full list not accessible) |
| Avvo Top Contributor | Martindale-Hubbell profile metadata | Unknown | Likely accurate (referenced in search metadata) |
| Super Lawyers / Rising Stars | superlawyers.com | N/A | Not found (no profile located) |
Notes: The existence of a dedicated tag page on Nevada Business Magazine’s website (nevadabusiness.com/tag/julie-speraw/) strongly suggests she was included in at least one Legal Elite list, which recognizes the top 3% of Nevada attorneys as nominated by peers. However, the specific year(s) and category could not be confirmed without accessing the full article content. The firm should be asked to confirm specific year(s) of inclusion. [Needs client confirmation]
8. Directory and Rating Profiles
Section titled “8. Directory and Rating Profiles”| Platform | Profile Found | URL | Key Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Martindale-Hubbell | Yes | martindale.com/attorney/julie-ann-speraw-300467632 | Profile active; lists admission 2019; references Avvo Top Contributor |
| Avvo | Not directly found | N/A | No direct profile URL surfaced; Martindale references “Avvo Top Contributor” badge |
| Super Lawyers | Not found | N/A | No profile or selection found |
| FindLaw | Not found (individual) | N/A | Firm-level listing only at Pitaro & Fumo |
| Justia | Not found | N/A | No individual profile located |
| LawInfo | Firm listing | lawinfo.com | Firm-level listing; individual profile not confirmed |
| Lawyers.com | Firm listing | lawyers.com | Firm-level only |
| Yelp (Firm) | Firm listing | yelp.com | 20 photos, 11 reviews (as of Feb 2026); individual attorney reviews not parsed |
9. Court Filings and Case Appearances
Section titled “9. Court Filings and Case Appearances”| Source | Result | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| PACER (federal) | No filings found via web search | Not publicly verified (PACER requires authenticated access) |
| Nevada state courts | No individual case appearances surfaced | Not publicly verified (court records not searchable via web search) |
| Unicourt | No results found | Not found |
Notes: The absence of publicly surfaced case filings is not unusual for a relatively junior associate (admitted 2019). Criminal defense case records are often sealed or not indexed by search engines. A direct PACER search and Nevada court records search would be required for comprehensive results. [Needs direct database search]
10. Media Coverage and News Mentions
Section titled “10. Media Coverage and News Mentions”| Source | Detail | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Nevada Business Magazine | Tag page exists at nevadabusiness.com/tag/julie-speraw/ | Verified (URL exists) |
| Local news (Las Vegas) | No news articles found | Not found |
| Legal industry press | No articles found | Not found |
| Social media / public commentary | No notable mentions found | Not found |
Notes: The Nevada Business Magazine tag page is the only media trace found. No news coverage of specific cases, commentary, op-eds, or interviews was found in any search. This is consistent with a relatively early-career criminal defense attorney whose cases may involve sealed or confidential matters.
11. Community Involvement and Pro Bono Work
Section titled “11. Community Involvement and Pro Bono Work”| Activity | Detail | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Free criminal record sealing classes | Taught free, weekly classes to the Las Vegas community on the process for criminal record sealing in Nevada | Likely accurate (firm bio only; not independently verified through event listings or news) |
Notes: This is a notable community service activity that demonstrates public interest commitment. No independent verification (e.g., event listings, news coverage, or organizational mentions) was found. The Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada and Nevada Legal Services both run record sealing programs — it is possible she partnered with one of these organizations, but no connection is confirmed. [Needs client confirmation on organization affiliation and timeframe]
12. Personal Background
Section titled “12. Personal Background”| Detail | Source | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Born and raised in Las Vegas, NV | Firm website | Likely accurate (not independently verified) |
| Pre-law career possibly included SkyWest Airlines | LinkedIn search result (linkedin.com/in/julie-speraw-95491553/) | Not publicly verified (may be a different Julie Speraw or prior career) |
Notes: The LinkedIn profile surfaced in search results appears to associate “Julie Speraw” with SkyWest Airlines, which could indicate a pre-law career in the airline industry. This has not been confirmed and may be a different individual. [Needs client confirmation]
