A longtime shareholder at one of Nevada’s most prominent law firms says she was systematically pushed out after reporting a top billing partner for sexual harassment, according to a lawsuit filed in Clark County District Court. Lesley Miller alleges Kaempfer Crowell and several of its shareholders retaliated against her by stripping her cases, withholding pay, and ultimately telling her to resign or be fired.
Miller’s suit, filed under case number A-26-956032-C, names Kaempfer Crowell and its shareholders as defendants, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. She is represented by attorney Dennis Kennedy of Bailey Kennedy, LLP, while the firm is represented by defense attorney Marcus Lee, according to the same report. Miller joined Kaempfer Crowell as an associate in 2010, made partner in 2015, and became a shareholder in January 2025 — a trajectory that makes her allegations of an abrupt ouster all the more striking.
Allegations Against ‘The Predator’
The complaint refers to the accused attorney only as “the predator,” and Miller’s attorney, Dennis Kennedy, declined to identify him, per the Review-Journal’s reporting. According to the suit, the attorney sexually harassed Miller and other women, made inappropriate comments and overtures toward her at a firm-sponsored event, and told her and other female colleagues to “wear those jeans again because they look criminal.” The complaint further alleges he claimed he could identify female employees’ underwear through their clothing and said women wear stilettos “to get screwed in the office.”
Miller says she rejected the attorney’s comments and overtures and was later forced to apologize to him anyway, according to the complaint. The suit also alleges the firm required Miller and other women to report to and work directly under the accused attorney, and that other women had separately complained about his behavior.
An After-Hours Incident and a 911 Call
According to the complaint, the accused attorney brought a woman to the office after hours, and she was tied to his desk. A friend of the woman called 911 to report an assault at the firm, and law enforcement responded to the scene, the suit alleges. The attorney was removed from the firm on April 6, 2026, according to the filing, and was escorted out by law enforcement, the complaint states. Shareholders Joshua Correlli and Stephanie Gronauer were both aware of the incident, according to the suit…
