About Teletha L. Zupan
Teletha L. Zupan is an attorney with the Jimmerson Law Firm in Las Vegas. Her
practice is focused on family law
litigation, including divorce and
child custody matters in Clark
County Family Court.
Ms. Zupan was raised and went to high school in the Las Vegas area. As a Las
Vegas native, she worked her way through college in the casino industry. That
background gave her a practical understanding of the employment situation facing
many Las Vegas workers, particularly those in the casinos, and the habit of
looking at a dispute from the client’s side of it.
Litigation Experience
Ms. Zupan has worked across the range of civil litigation: personal injury,
probate disputes, family law, employment, contract, labor,
business litigation,
judgment collections, and appellate cases. She has second-chaired bench trials,
worked on jury trials, and handled a variety of appellate matters. She was an
integral part of having Wynn Resort’s answer thrown out in a slip-and-fall case.
See Olds v. Wynn Las Vegas, Nev. Supreme Court Case No. 65801 (2016).
She worked on high-profile matters including Leslie Mainor v. Mainor
Eglet, LLP, A-11-646393-C, resolved while she was a law clerk. After
admission she continued on complex business disputes, among them an action to
quiet title and remove approximately ten statutory liens clouding title to real
property in City of Henderson v. Terra Quail Springs, Corp.,
A-21-845893-C. Many of her matters have been resolved without the need for
trial.
Family Law Practice
Ms. Zupan now focuses primarily on
family law, with many years of
experience in high-conflict divorce and
post-divorce actions, and in high-conflict
child custody matters.
In one custody matter she was instrumental in securing a favorable outcome
for a father after the mother unlawfully abducted the minor child and fled the
jurisdiction on two separate occasions. The father was ultimately awarded
primary physical custody, and the mother’s visitation was suspended indefinitely
pending specific conditions. A temporary restraining order was entered
precluding the mother from the child’s school, the child’s home, and the
father’s workplace. The mother’s filings are summarily denied unless the court
determines she has presented a new prima facie claim with adequate supporting
evidence. A judgment of approximately $100,000 was entered against her.
