Clark County Recorder Settles Claim for Negligent Recording of Lien Against Homeowner's Property

A Las Vegas law firm declined to represent a homeowner in a case against the Clark County Recorder's Office for wrongfully recording a lien, citing "sovereign immunity." The homeowner was referred to Bohl, who drafted a letter to the County Recorder requesting reimbursement for legal fees and expenses under Nevada Revised Statute 247.410. This statute holds county recorders liable for "three times" the amount of damages caused by their negligence. The County Recorder immediately settled by reimbursing the homeowner for all legal fees and other expenses caused by the wrongful recording of the lien. There was no "sovereign immunity".
