Founding Attorney – Vegas Counsel PLLC
Russell 'Dutch' Boyd, Esq.

725.240.6942
Russell “Dutch” Boyd isn’t your typical Las Vegas personal injury lawyer. At just 18 years old, he graduated from the University of Missouri, Columbia School of Law, becoming the youngest graduate in the school’s history. Today, as the founding injury attorney at Vegas Counsel PLLC, Dutch combines legal knowledge, insider insight, and world-class strategy to help victims recover the compensation they deserve.
Before building his legal practice, Dutch spent years in Las Vegas and around the world competing as a professional poker player, earning three World Series of Poker bracelets. The same qualities that made him a champion at the tables — discipline, focus, reading opponents, and staying calm under pressure — now define his approach as a Vegas injury attorney.
Dutch also knows life beyond the courtroom. As a former motorcyclist himself, he understands firsthand the dangers riders face on Nevada roads. That personal experience drives his passion as a motorcycle accident lawyer in Las Vegas, fighting for bikers injured in crashes caused by careless drivers.
Legal Background and Experience
Before starting Vegas Counsel, Dutch worked in the General Liability Practice Group of a major defense firm, where he defended insurance companies and Las Vegas Strip casinos. While his time there was brief, it gave him rare insight into the strategies insurers and defense attorneys use in cases involving car accidents, truck accidents, bus accidents, and drunk driving crashes.
Today, he uses that knowledge to anticipate their moves and protect the rights of injury victims.
In addition to personal injury, Dutch also provides guidance in business law in Las Vegas, helping entrepreneurs and local companies protect their interests with the same strategic thinking that has defined his career.

Beyond the Courtroom

While his interests are diverse, they all share a common theme: strategy, innovation, and connection. These values he now channels into serving victims as a Las Vegas injury attorney.
Whether you’re searching for a car wreck attorney in Las Vegas, a truck accident lawyer in Las Vegas, or a dedicated Las Vegas drunk driving accident lawyer, Dutch is committed to helping you navigate the legal system and recover the maximum compensation.
