JUDGE KENNETH POLLOCK'S BACKGROUND
Most kids grow up wanting to be a baseball player, a fireman, or a policeman. Maybe even a crime fighter or a rock singer.
Judge Ken Pollock grew up wanting to help people – mainly – the underdog. That’s what led him to become a successful and respected attorney in Nevada and California, as well as, a successful District Court Judge.
That desire to do what is right for people – to make sure they get a fair shot – is what has led Ken to be your Family Court Judge in Department "J". Ken seeks to continue his public service as your Judge in Department 29.
Through his law practice, Pollock & Associates, Ken has gained the admiration of his clients and the law community alike in his personal, aggressive representation. His client list ranges from individual to corporate, his cases range from the simple to the complex.
Ken believes in giving to his community. He currently serves as a member of the Board of Trustees for Speedway Childrens' Charities; as a Judge in the Trial by Peers program; and as a Judge in the Nevada High School Mock Trial program. Prior to his election to his current position, Ken served as an Alternate Municipal Judge for the Las Vegas Municipal Court.
Previously, Ken served as the Chairperson of the Farmers Insurance Policyholder group to assist earthquake victims in rebuilding their homes and lives following the Northridge earthquake.
Ken was also a founding member of the Los Angeles Family Law Indigent Paternity Panel (FLIPP), a group of lawyers that assisted low income residents in resolving their paternity and child support issues. As a member of the FLIPP panel, Ken represented over 300 low income mothers and fathers in their cases, insuring that their rights were protected and that they had access to justice.
Through his service as a District Judge, as well as, over 18+ years as an attorney, along with over 12 years experience as an arbitrator, Ken understands the importance of frequent one-on-one communication with all parties involved in a dispute. Communication and interaction skills are key and essential to any judge and any courtroom.
Ken knows what it is like to run a business. He understands deadlines and budgets. Judge Ken Pollock takes that knowledge to the bench in Department 29.
As a District Judge, an Arbitrator for the Eighth Judicial District Court of Nevada, and an Alternative Municipal Judge for the Las Vegas Municipal Court, Ken developed his interviewing skills, his management techniques, and most importantly, his ability to listen and judge. Serving as a Judge, Ken knows how important it is for litigants to be able to present their case in a fair hearing, to receive the opportunity to be heard, and to receive a timely resolution to their legal issues. As a result of those skills, Ken was able to reduce the back load of cases in his current assignment by over 25% in 1 year.
Ken understands that his role as Judge is to follow the law, not to make it. Ken knows the importance to the parties that their case be decided based upon the law, with consistent, predictable results.
That is what Clark County deserves for the seat of District Court Judge, Department 29.
Someone who listens – someone who judges fairly. That’s Judge Ken Pollock, a man and a name you can trust.
Ken's very high level of skill and integrity has been recognized by his peers.
