About Justice Law NV
About Attorney Mandana Divanbeiki
Welcome to Divanbeiki Law, LLC,
I am a licensed attorney in Nevada with extensive experience in unemployment, contractual agreements, and housing law, including federal law. My experience encompasses oral arguments in various courts, conducting trials, drafting and filing legal documents, and the ability to simplify complex legal concepts to secure victory for my clients.
Zealous advocacy is about providing law services that are honest and ethical. While justice should prevail, it often does not. I have achieved favorable outcomes for clients in the majority of the cases I have handled, winning in various justice courts, district courts, and appellate courts in Nevada, as well as in administrative proceedings. Though a victory cannot be guaranteed for any client, regardless of the strength of their case, I work diligently to ensure that my clients' most relevant legal rights are presented before the courts to achieve a favorable decision.
A significant victory for a client was the recent 2025 decision in the Nevada Court of Appeals in Taylor v. State Emp. Sec. Div., 2025 Nev. App. Unpub. LEXIS 98. The Court of Appeals reversed the Appeal Tribunal's decision regarding Mr. Taylor's obligation to repay PUA benefits received during the COVID-19 pandemic. This decision clarified the burden of proof in administrative hearings and emphasized that credibility determinations cannot stand if there is an abuse of discretion.
At this time, I invite you to consultation with me regarding any legal problem you may have. This is not a guarantee of legal representation or that I can assist with your specific case, but I am here to help you navigate your legal challenges.
Legal News - Legal Information Only
- The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against mandatory- and jurisdictional-ness of a statute for filing petitions for judicial review from state agency decisions to courts across the country unless the legislative intent requires the deadlines to file such claims to be mandatory and jurisdictional; and this is so even if the statute states the "magic words" as intent cannot be confined to stating the words, rather, intent is against such when deadlines are anything such as 30, 60, 90 days and so on. In Nevada, filing a petition for judicial review for claimants losing unemployment insurance benefit claims has a deadline of 11 days and the Nevada Supreme Court has yet to decide in a binding opinion that such deadline is mandatory and jurisdictional. A binding opinion is through either a published decision or a persuasive decision that has no counterpart binding decision from the same court.
- Constitutional due process applies to unemployment insurance benefits as U.S. Supreme Court cases have made rulings on such cases applying the due process to claimants of such claims.
- Federal law on contract disputes overrides Nevada law where the terms are in conflict and the property is any type of federally subsidized property.
