A Look Back
Bob graduated with honors from Brown University in 1966 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Relations. He received his law degree in 1970 from Harvard’s highly esteemed Law School.
Bob was often referred to as “the father of construction defect law in Nevada” because he played the leading and pivotal role in creating Nevada’s first construction defect statute, NRS Chapter 40. NRS Chapter 40 gives Nevada homeowners and community associations the right to receive full compensation for faulty construction.
On January 1, 2009, Bob partnered with Norberto (“Norby”) Cisneros to form Maddox & Cisneros, PLLC.
During his career Bob worked exclusively as an unpaid lobbyist for Nevada community associations and homeowners in the Nevada State Legislature in every session since 1995.
Bob frequently lectured about legal issues facing community associations and homeowners, and he appeared on all major Nevada television networks in connection with his work to protect the people of Nevada from construction defects.
He was awarded an AV Rating by Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rating given to any individual attorney in the United States. Bob was widely recognized by other attorneys
and judges as the leading authority on Nevada community association and construction defect laws.
The Justices of the Nevada Supreme Court named Bob a trustee of the Nevada Law Foundation, the entity that administers funds generated from lawyers’ trust accounts for persons who could not otherwise afford legal representation. Bob is also a lifetime colleague of the Nevada Law Foundation.
Bob was elected and served as President of the Nevada Trial Lawyers Association and has been recognized as the Trial Lawyer of the Year by the Nevada Trial Lawyers Association.
Bob was honored as a Friend of Nevada’s Working Families by the AFL-CIO for his longtime commitment to Nevada’s working families. And in 2015 Bob was nominated for the Nevada Justice Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
