Mainor's career included several multimillion dollar personal injury cases, including a $25 million award in 1999 for a Las Vegas man who was injured when a bus lift prematurely activated, tumbling the man from his wheelchair.

Mainor was named Trial Lawyer of the Year in 1999.

Mainor wasn't without controversy. Starting in 2003, Mainor and his former law partner of 10 years, Richard Harris, battled each other in federal court over their firm's assets. Mainor got a restraining order against Harris barring him from using any verdicts or settlements that were obtained by other attorneys in the pair's firm.

Mainor's friends remembered him Tuesday as a loving man who was deeply involved in his church, public service and mentoring young attorneys.

"He helped me understand the demands of marriage and fatherhood and how to balance that with work," said Robert Cottle, Mainor's partner in the firm.

Mainor was a modest man who enjoyed nothing more than taking his children to a baseball game, Cottle said.

"Randy would describe himself as someone who would enjoy a sandwich and a baseball game," he said.

Mainor was born in Overton in 1941 and graduated from Basic High School in Henderson in 1960. He attended the College of Southern Utah and Brigham Young University, where he received a bachelor's degree in economics and a minor in Spanish.

He served on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Mexico and received his law degree from American University in 1969.

He is survived by his wife, Leslie; sister, Margie; sons, Bradley and Jarrod; daughter, Emily; and 10 grandchildren.

Mainor's funeral service is planned for 2 p.m. Friday in the LDS Chapel at 10550 West Alta Drive near Town Center Drive in Summerlin.
