Some proposed changes to correct factual errors, to correct mistaken impressions, and to balance the article as well as improve the writing

Please make sure that Pat is not identified as a Nebraska lawyer. She is not licensed to practice in Nebraska. She is a Nevada lawyer. https://www.mcdonaldcarano.com/people/pat-lundvall/

Paragraph above Contents Box: Patricia Lundvall is an American lawyer and former commissioner of the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).[1] She was called to the bar in Nevada and became the first female chair of the NSAC [ADD: ,while continuing to practice law full time].

The reason for this request is that clients and the public are confused and frequently ask Pat questions such as "did you have to pass the bar again? or, was it hard to start practicing law again." If necessary, we can provide court records that show she appeared as counsel of record for clients during the time she served as commissioner of the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

New section (Legal Career) to be added to replace the section Post-commissionership. The Post-commissionship section says "returned to practicing law." That is incorrect. She did not return; she continuously practiced law.

Legal Career Lundvall was admitted to the bar in Nevada in 1989 and later admitted to practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the Supreme Court of the United States.[1] [Reference 1 remains the same as it is now] the sentence has been rewritten for accuracy. Lawyers are admitted to practice before courts of appeals and the Supreme Court; they are not admitted to the bar of those entities.

She began her career with Lionel Sawyer & Collins and later joined McDonald Carano where she has continuously practiced law since 1994, including while serving as Nevada State Athletic Commissioner.[Reference: Web https://issuu.com/myvegasmag.com/docs/becker_issue Author Gibbons, Dawn Publisher Issu Website Myvegasmag.com] In 2001, she successfully represented radio DJ Rusty Humphries against Citadel Broadcasting.[4] In 2019, she was recognized for her work with Nevadan-based military charities in the Las Vegas area.

Athletic Commissioner

Paragraph 1 In 2007, Lundvall was appointed to the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) by Governor Jim Gibbons.

Add this sentence after the first sentence in the paragraph, please: Only one other female had previously served on NSAC: Amy Ayoub served as commissioner from 1999 to 2002.

Delete this sentence from the first paragraph (I'll request that you add it back to a later paragraph): She served three three-year terms as a NSAC commissioner before not being reappointed in 2016.[5]

Please insert this sentence as the last sentence of the first paragraph: In February 2016, however, the NSAC voted unanimously in favor of a three-year suspension for Silva, on re-hearing.

Paragraph 2 Please insert this clause at the end of the second sentence: , by Diaz's lawyer, Lucas Middlebrook. Then insert this sentence as the final sentence in the paragraph: In 2016, NSAC unanimously approved a settlement with Diaz, reducing his suspension to 18 months and reducing his $165,000 fine to $100,000.

Please add this after the currently last paragraph of the section (Athletic Commissioner):

Vice.com often criticized Lundvall during her tenure as chair of NSAC. On learning she would not be reappointed, however, it allowed that, “[u]nder Lundvall’s stewardship and with her regular input, the NAC has done much to help combat sports and its growth over the last few years in Nevada—home of the world’s fighting capital, Las Vegas.”

Remove the Post-commissionership section and replace it with Legal Career, above in this request. Hazeltonla (talk) 20:20, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
