Mr. Darby began his legal career at Woodburn & Wedge, the oldest law firm in the State of Nevada. While at Woodburn & Wedge, Mr. Darby’s practice focused on representing creditors and secured lenders in bankruptcy proceedings and litigation matters, as well as representing business in various corporate matters. Mr. Darby thereafter accepted a job offer with Downey Brand, LLP, a large multi-state law firm with offices in Reno, Nevada. While at Downey Brand Mr. Darby continued to focus his practice on bankruptcy-related matters, primarily representing banks and other creditors.

Since making that decision, Kevin has represented countless individuals and small businesses in out-of-court debt restructuring and workouts, as well as Chapter 7, 11 and 13 bankruptcy proceedings.
