Ms. Whittemore regularly represents clients before the Nevada Gaming Control Board and the Nevada Gaming Commission in licensing, disciplinary and tax matters. She is listed in The Best Lawyers in America for Gaming Law and Information Technology Law; in Chambers USA for Gaming & Licensing Law; and in Mountain States Super Lawyers (included in "The Top 40 Women") for Gaming Law.
