Las Vegas · Nevada

Molly S. Rosenblum

Rosenblum Allen Law Firm

Rosenblum is the clearest Nevada match to the stated editorial purpose. Her record combines two concrete child-related functions—guardian ad litem and AFCC-certified parenting coordinator—with more than two decades of Nevada family practice. The firm's GAL material is unusually useful because it discusses the lawyer's firsthand role in contested and high-conflict custody rather than relying on a generic best-interests slogan. Her firm also offers enough substantive material and contact information for a parent to evaluate fit. The caveat is that the most detailed evidence is self-published, and the official bar directory did not yield a stable individual record for citation. She merits the top preliminary rank, subject to direct license, discipline, and availability verification before the site goes live.

Why the children-first signal is real

Rosenblum's biography identifies her as an AFCC-certified parenting coordinator and court-appointed guardian ad litem. Her first-party GAL article draws on firsthand work in contested and high-conflict custody and reports dependency-case representation involving parents and children.

Divorce and custody depth

The firm describes an exclusive family-law practice, and Rosenblum's profile reports Nevada practice since 2002 across custody, divorce, guardianship, and dependency-related matters.

Professional stature

Her longstanding Nevada practice, court appointments, AFCC parenting-coordinator certification, and firm leadership provide meaningful professional stature grounded in relevant roles rather than consumer rankings.

Las Vegas · Nevada

Marshal S. Willick

Willick Law Group

Willick offers the deepest publicly documented Nevada family-law credentials in this group. His specialist certification, trial and appellate experience, professional leadership, manuals, and extensive custody resource library make him highly assessable for a sophisticated or complex case. The child-centered score is supported by substantive parenting-plan materials and pointed professional writing about avoiding harm to children in cases involving mental-health experts. He ranks second because the public record presents less evidence of a recurring personal child-representative role than Rosenblum's GAL and parenting-coordinator work. The official specialist listing adds confidence, but it does not replace a current status and discipline check. KIDD1Divorce should present him as a strong, evidence-backed option, not as a guaranteed outcome or universal fit.

Why the children-first signal is real

The firm publishes unusually detailed custody resources, parenting-plan materials, and analysis of mental-health professionals in family cases. Willick's writing examines how professional conduct can endanger parents and children, demonstrating issue-specific judgment rather than generic marketing.

Divorce and custody depth

Willick's biography documents a practice spanning complex family trials and appeals, specialist certification, mediation, arbitration, alternate-judge service, and extensive Nevada family-law manuals and teaching.

Professional stature

His biography reports AAML and IAFL fellowship, former state family-section and AAML chapter leadership, book and manual authorship, AAML mediator credentials, alternate-judge work, and legal-aid governance.

John T. Kelleher

Kelleher & Kelleher, LLC

Kelleher earns the third Nevada position through a balanced combination of nearly three decades in family law, official specialist certification, AAML fellowship, arbitration credentials, and accessible parenting-coordination education. His firm's guide treats parenting coordination as a tool to lower conflict and improve co-parenting, which aligns with the site's child-centered lens while preserving litigation capacity for cases that cannot settle. He ranks below Rosenblum and Willick because the reviewed record contains less concrete evidence of direct child representation or sustained child-focused scholarship. The official specialist list is helpful corroboration, but readers should not confuse certification with a guarantee of fit or performance. Before publishing, the site should conduct the separate official status, discipline, conflict, and availability checks described in the methodology.

Why the children-first signal is real

The firm's parenting-coordinator guide focuses on reducing parental conflict and improving co-parenting. Kelleher's combination of settlement-oriented neutral credentials and courtroom experience supports proportionate handling of child-related disputes, though no personal GAL role was located.

Divorce and custody depth

His biography reports family-law practice since 1996, Nevada family specialist certification, and work across litigated and alternative family dispute resolution.

Professional stature

Kelleher's biography identifies AAML fellowship, an AV rating, and AAML-certified arbitrator status; Nevada's official specialist list corroborates his family-law certification.

Status note: Nevada's official certified-specialists page lists Kelleher as a family-law specialist. A stable individual status and discipline record was not captured; confirm both in the State Bar directory before publication.

The parenting-coordination evidence is firm-published and does not establish that Kelleher personally serves in every neutral role discussed.Current individual status and discipline require direct official confirmation.
