Biography

Candace C. Herling is a partner with the Firm, focusing her practice on civil litigation, specifically serving healthcare entities. She intimately understands the inner workings and challenges that long-term healthcare facilities face.

Throughout high school and college, Candace worked alongside her parents to run a successful facility, which allows her to have a unique perspective when defending her long-term healthcare clients.

Candace was a panel speaker for Nevada Mutual Insurance Company’s Risk Management Seminars providing Nevada legal updates and seminar topic-driven tips on avoiding malpractice to Nevada healthcare providers.
