Nevada GOP Attorney General hopeful Adam Laxalt has released his own performance review, one calling him, among other things, “exceptionally skilled,” with “highly advanced qualifications.”

Laxalt is responding to the questionable release of private documents from his previous law firm Lewis Roca Rothgerber, with a “Fitness Report & Counseling Record” completed by a senior officer.

Laxalt, a JAG officer who volunteered for Operation Iraqi Freedom, is “an outstanding performer,” who has “excelled at this fast-paced, high-pressure environment with… proficiency,” the report says.

The review further notes that during his time as a military prosecutor, Laxalt, “diligently reviewed, briefed and presented over 1400 detainee cases… supervised 6 paralegal [sic], 6 officers and was responsible for tracking over 35,000 detainee case files.”

The comments on Laxalt’s performance conclude, he is “a phenomenal attorney” and “a MUST SELECT for… early promotion.”

This release, and the reaction by Lewis Roca in response to documents leaked from inside their firm, may have denied his opponent’s campaign the blow it had hoped to land.
