The UNR Pre-Law Association is dedicated in encouraging the next generation of attorneys at the University of Nevada, Reno. We had the privilege of participating in their guest speaker panel during the spring semester. It was wonderful to see a vast number of students ready to take on the legal profession. We are grateful for the opportunity to continue to encourage students at the UNR Pre-Law Association!
Bradley, Drendel & Jeanney in the Community
At Bradley, Drendel and Jeanney, northern Nevada roots run deep. In 1957, William Bradley and his partner John Drendel, opened Reno’s first personal injury firm. Their cases made national headlines, they won awards and honors, while earning the trust of our northern Nevada community. This is the community we live and work in, we want to take care of it for years to come. Here are some of the ways we have taken an active role in making sure that happens.

Fiesta on Wells
Fiesta on Wells is an annual event dedicated to celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month and honors the vibrant Latin American culture. Including traditional dances, food, and crafts. Bradley, Drendel & Jeanney has participated in the event over the last several years, helping bring the community together in celebrating the Hispanic culture.
Ashlee’s Toy Closet Drive
Ashlee’s Toy Closet is an organization committed in collecting and donating toys to children who have been affected by natural disasters or economic circumstances. We had the opportunity to partner with them for their toy drive during the holidays. Knowing we helped bring smiles to children during the holidays was incredibly fulfilling!
Nevada Humane Society
In 2025, we were thrilled to sponsor a dog kennel at the Nevada Humane Society. It has been great stopping by and saying hello to our sponsor dog while also including a little play time in between. In 2026, we are expanding our support by sponsoring kittens, puppies, and dog kennels! It has been truly rewarding to see our sponsored pets find loving homes.
Big Chefs Big Gala

La Navidad De Los Niños con Radio Lazer
On December 7th, 2025, Bradley, Drendel, & Jeanney and Radio Lazer partnered together to bring holiday cheer to the Hispanic community. Families were able to enjoy music, games, treats, and meet Santa! Each child got to select a toy from Santa to take home. It was an unforgettable day for both the children and our staff.
Gold Ribbon Bowl
The Golden Ribbon Bowl is an event to benefit Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation. A portion of the proceeds goes towards enhancing the quality of life for children with cancer and their families. A few of our BDJ staff attended the event to show their support for the foundation and put their bowling skills to the test!
RTO
Our firm is full of avid runners, and we love to participate in any race organized by the community. It does not come as a surprise that BDJ participated and sponsored the 2025 Reno Tahoe Odyssey! We are so excited to be able to continue participating in a foot race that loops around Northern Nevada and Lake Tahoe area. Showcasing the diverse scenery that our area has to offer!
Nevada Humane Society Duck Race
The Nevada Humane Society's Duck Race is a lively fundraising event where hundreds of yellow rubber ducks race down the Truckee River, with enthusiastic supporters cheering them on. As one of the Humane Society's major fundraisers, this event helps raise crucial funds and awareness for homeless pets. Bradley, Drendel & Jeanney proudly supports this local event by sponsoring it, contributing to the cause of helping homeless animals in our community.
