His career includes 25 years in private practice, two terms as district attorney managing Nevada’s largest law office and service as a district court judge.

Bell's role is to help parties recognize differing perspectives and work toward resolutions. He has mediated thousands of cases, particularly in medical malpractice, personal injury, business and family law. Known for his empathetic demeanor, he helps parties navigate emotional responses to focus on practical decisions that address their needs.
