Inside Family Court: Candid Conversations with Judges Heidi Almase and Kerri Maxey
On Friday, June 27, 2025, The Tom Letizia Show continued its special Judge Series with two distinguished guests from Clark County Family Court. In the first half of the show, Family Court Judge Heidi Almase shared her experiences on the bench, highlighting the importance of fairness, mental health awareness, and understanding the emotional dynamics in family law. Judge Almase offered insight into the rising number of pro se litigants and the complexities that mental health brings to custody and divorce cases.
At 8:30 AM, Family Court Judge Kerri Maxey joined the show, bringing over 20 years of legal experience in Las Vegas to the discussion. Judge Maxey talked about the evolution of family law and the importance of compassion, preparation, and public trust in judicial service. She also reflected on her journey from insurance defense to becoming a respected voice on the bench and touched on her roles as a Hearing Officer and former pro tempore judge.
Both judges emphasized the need for education, patience, and understanding when families come before the court, especially during their most difficult times. Listeners gained a rare behind-the-scenes look at the real responsibilities, ethical considerations, and personal reflections of two sitting Family Court Judges committed to justice and community service in Southern Nevada.
