Summer Xiaoxue Squires

About Summer

Summer was born and raised in Beijing, the capital city of the People’s Republic of China. She came to the United States as an international student in 2010 and is a proud graduate of Indiana University Bloomington and DePaul University College of Law in Chicago, Illinois. Summer is licensed to practice law in the State of Nevada, Illinois, and the United States District Courts. After living in the Midwest for 13 years, she relocated with her young family to Nevada. Summer originally planned to become an ER doctor-drawn to the adrenaline, urgency, and direct impact of emergency medicine. But after facing a hard truth about her squeamishness around blood and needles, she pivoted to a different kind of crisis work: personal injury law. With the same instinct to jump in when people need help most, Summer now channels her focus, intensity, and empathy into advocating for injured clients and guiding them through complex legal recovery. Always gravitating toward high-pressure environments, Summer realized anything less exciting just does not hold her attention. Whether in the courtroom, in a fast-moving negotiation, or solving a legal problem under pressure, she thrives on challenge and urgency. That energy and drive now serve her clients well, especially when the stakes are high. During law school, Summer clerked for Judge Mark J. Lopez (retired) in the Circuit Court of Cook County. As past president of the DePaul Pacific American Law Students Association and a two-time Diversity Scholarship recipient, Summer was recognized for her leadership and commitment to service. She began volunteering at the Chicago Chinatown Pro Bono Clinic during her first year of law school as a Mandarin-English interpreter. Her dedication earned her both the DePaul Dean’s Certificate of Service and the Chancellor’s Award for Service. She gained diverse and sophisticated civil litigation experience in a Fortune 500 company, a municipal law department, and a prominent family law firm before joining as an associate and becoming a partner at this firm in 2025. Summer has long been a fierce advocate for the Asian American community. She is the co-director of communication of the Asian Bar Association of Nevada. She also participated in national advocacy efforts with the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association’s lobby day at the U.S. Capitol annually.
