About
Dawn Ellerbrock formerly practiced law in Nevada in matters including estate planning, probate, guardianship matters, and appellate practice. A past profile at Allison MacKenzie in Carson City describes her work helping clients address the transfer of assets, estate administration, and related legal proceedings. Her reported Nevada license status is inactive, so her experience is described historically rather than as an active offer of legal representation. Her work has involved both planning matters and court-related legal issues.
Dawn earned a B.A. from the University of Toledo in 1992 and a J.D. from the University of Toledo College of Law in 1999, graduating cum laude. She was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1999 and the Nevada bar in 2000. Her legal education was followed by judicial clerkship experience, including positions with the Toledo Municipal Court and the Nevada Supreme Court. That background supported her understanding of appellate procedure and legal research.
Dawn joined Allison MacKenzie in 2001 and worked in practice areas including probate, estate planning, guardianships, and appeals. Before private practice, she clerked for Judge Thomas J. Osowik of the Toledo Municipal Court and Justice Deborah A. Agosti of the Nevada Supreme Court. Her professional record also lists service on the Nevada State Board of Bar Examiners. This experience reflects involvement in legal practice, court operations, and the institutions responsible for lawyer admission.
Dawn Ellerbrock has been affiliated with the Washoe County Bar Association, First Judicial District Bar Association, and Northern Nevada Women Lawyers Association. Her past community activities include service with the Rotary Club of Carson City and a local nonprofit that supports children experiencing food insecurity. Her career record combines estate-related legal work with judicial and professional service. Readers should distinguish this documented background from current practice authorization because the available licensing profile identifies her Nevada status as inactive.
