Robert T. Eglet

Las Vegas, NV

Robert T. Eglet is one of the most accomplished trial lawyers in the United States and the driving force behind Eglet Law’s nationally recognized success. As lead trial counsel in all of the firm’s major cases, Robert has secured more than $7 billion in verdicts and settlements for victims of corporate negligence, product defects, catastrophic injuries, and mass disasters. His courtroom success, leadership, and legal vision have not only changed lives but reshaped industries and redefined justice for entire communities. With a career win rate of over 98% in hundreds of civil jury trials, Robert has earned an unmatched reputation for excellence, tenacity, and integrity. He is routinely trusted by clients in their most critical moments-and by lawyers across the country who refer their most significant cases to him. Robert has obtained the largest injury verdicts in America three times and his record-setting results include: $3.08 billion verdict in a water contamination case-the largest product liability verdict in Nevada history; $1.3 billion in opioid-related settlements for the State of Nevada, among the highest per capita in the country; $1.2 billion in three verdicts in three verdicts stemming from the largest medically caused Hepatitis C outbreak in U.S. history; $800 million settlement on behalf of victims of the 1 October Las Vegas mass shooting; $42 million verdict that led to industry-wide reforms in off-road motorcycle gear manufacturing. Peers describe Robert as “a master storyteller in the courtroom,” “ethically fearless,” and “the architect of modern trial strategy in Nevada.” His visionary work has helped transform jury selection, trial presentation, and mass tort litigation in America. He is a sought-after lecturer on trial advocacy, jury psychology, product liability, and catastrophic injury law, and he regularly trains the next generation of plaintiff trial lawyers. Robert’s creative and fearless legal strategy was never more evident than in the aftermath of the 2008 Las Vegas Hepatitis C outbreak. While others sued clinics and doctors, Robert targeted the pharmaceutical companies behind the contaminated drug that caused the outbreak-bypassing Nevada’s medical malpractice caps and securing four blockbuster verdicts, including the largest personal injury verdicts in the United States in 2010 and 2013. His efforts led to nationwide healthcare reforms, including changes to CDC guidelines and pharmaceutical packaging protocols. In the wake of the 1 October mass shooting, Robert was among the first attorneys in the country to act. Within days, he filed a class-action lawsuit against the bump stock manufacturer, putting them out of business, and became lead counsel, coordinating a nationwide legal response. Despite skepticism, he pursued MGM Resorts-ultimately leading to a landmark $800 million settlement and sweeping security reforms across MGM properties. When the opioid crisis devastated Nevada, Robert advised the state and local governments to opt out of the federal MDL & settlements and pursue its own litigation. That strategy paid off: he secured $1.3 billion in opioid settlements, helping Nevada fund treatment programs and public health initiatives for those most affected. The settlement Robert secured for Nevada was 7 to 10 times the amount per capita than any other state recovered. Robert’s extraordinary success has earned him the confidence of hundreds of attorneys nationwide and abroad. He is the “go-to” trial lawyer for complex, high-stakes litigation, and is frequently brought in to lead jury trials that require elite courtroom execution and the ability to deliver multi-million or billion-dollar outcomes. If you’re an attorney seeking a seasoned trial partner to try your biggest cases-or a firm looking for justice after tragedy-you want Robert Eglet in your corner. Robert is a member of the Inner Circle of Advocates, an invitation-only organization limited to the top 100 plaintiff trial lawyers in the United States. He has received nearly every major honor in the legal profession, including: Trial Lawyer of the Year (twice) - Nevada Justice Association; National Trial Lawyer of the Year- National Trial Lawyers; National Lawyer of the Year - Lawyers USA; Recipient of the Keith Givens Visionary Award for his work in the 1 October litigation; Named one of the Top 100 Most Influential Trial Lawyers in America; Named a member of The Round Table - elite trial lawyers nationally; Consistent inclusion in America’s Top 100, Best Lawyers, and Super Lawyers; Recipient of the Thurgood Marshall Fighting for Justice Award under overwhelming odds. He holds the highest AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell, is a Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum member, and has delivered over 60 jury verdicts in excess of $1 million-more than any other trial attorney in Nevada history. Robert’s commitment to justice extends beyond the courtroom. With his wife, Tracy Eglet, a fellow founding partner, he has made transformative gifts to the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law, funding scholarships, faculty positions, and national trial team competitions. In recognition, McGeorge named its advocacy center the Eglet Center for Advocacy and Dispute Resolution. Robert serves on University of the Pacific’s Board of Regents, lectures widely-including his signature talk, “The Death of the American Trial Lawyer”-and mentors students pursuing careers in civil trial law. Whether you are a client in crisis or a lawyer in need of a trial partner for your most valuable case, Robert Eglet delivers what few can: overwhelming courtroom results, bold legal vision, and unwavering dedication to justice.
