Nedda Ghandi, a beloved member of our legal community, passed away on January 8, 2025, in Las Vegas, NV, after a courageous battle with breast cancer. Born on September 5, 1979, in Iran, Nedda touched countless lives with her keen intellect and kind heart.
Nedda completed her undergraduate work at the University of San Francisco before earning her law degree from the William S. Boyd School of Law in Las Vegas, Nevada. Her legal acumen and dedication to her clients were evident from the start of her career. In 2011, Nedda founded Ghandi Law Offices. Through Nedda’s leadership, this small solo practice grew to become the thriving boutique law firm of Ghandi Deeter Blackham. Nedda’s legal expertise and commitment to the highest standard of ethics earned her the respect of clients, colleagues, and the judiciary.
Nedda’s dedication to the legal community and access to justice extended beyond the courtroom. In 2022, she served as the President of the Clark County Bar Association, where she worked to improve legal services and support for lawyers and our community. An active member of the Nevada Justice Association, Nedda worked to empower female trial attorneys and encourage rapport in the legal community. She was a mentor to many, generously sharing her knowledge and experience with new lawyers and aspiring entrepreneurs.
As we say goodbye to Nedda Ghandi, we also celebrate her beautiful and consequential life. Nedda’s journey on this earth may have come to an end, but the lives of everyone she touched are a testament to her enduring spirit.
