Attorney Offices

• Salas & McQuig: If you are arrested or charged with a crime, it is very important that you are represented by a criminal defense attorney that has the knowledge and experience needed to help insure fair treatment under the law.
• Cynthia Dustin: Experienced in handling felony, gross misdemeanor and misdemeanor offenses, including dui or dwi (drunk driving) charges, battery domestic violence charges, and juvenile offenses.
• Stafford Legal: Drunk Driving & DUI  - Drunk driving convictions in Nevada are serious and include the possibility of penalties such as:

  • Alcohol highway safety school

  • Arrest and alcohol treatment costs

  • Cancellation of insurance

  • Criminal record

  • Fines and forfeitures

  • Increased insurance rates

  • Jail or prison time

  • Job loss

  • Probation and community service

  • Suspension or loss of driver's license

  • Vehicle forfeiture or loss

• Benson Lee & Associates: Drunk Driving (DUI): Federal and Nevada cases. DUI occurring on Federal lands will be handled in Federal Court. Under Nevada law, first and second DUI offenses are handled as misdemeanors but a third time offense is considered charged as a felony. DUI involving serious bodily injury or a death are extremely serious.
• James L. Lee: Do You Understand D.U.I.? (Driving While Under the Influence of Alcohol or a Controlled or Prohibited Substance) If you are like most people, the answer is no. Obviously, driving while impaired by the effects of alcohol is against the law, not to mention dangerous to human life, including your own. But, many people arrested and charged for D.U.I. are not "guilty" as the crime is defined by law. Because people don't know their rights, they incriminate themselves, and may actually become convinced by police officers and prosecutors that they have committed a crime when they really haven't. Many innocent people suffer the wrath of a DUI charge unnecessarily. If you have been charged with DUI you need to be armed with knowledge so that you can understand and exercise your rights that you have under the law. If you are stopped for a routine traffic violation and have had only a few drinks, you could find yourself charged with D.U.I. and your license suspended if you don't know and exercise your legal rights. Don't let this happen to you.
• Mace Yamplosky: "Driving Under The Influence" means operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs to a degree that renders one unable to safely drive a vehicle. Years ago, a "drunk driving" meant that someone was "drunk" in the way all of us commonly understand the word: intoxicated. In the mid 1980's, legislatures all over the United States began to toughen their DUI laws in a response to public outcry. Today it is not necessary that a person be drunk to receive a DUI citation.
• Betsy Allen: All evidence must be relevant in order for it to be admissible. There are numerous instances when relevant evidence is not admissible for various reasons including hearsay. Evidence itself falls into one of two categories, direct or circumstantial.
• Joel Mann: In Nevada, "Driving Under The Influence" means operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs to a degree that renders one unable to safely drive a vehicle. It is not necessary for one to be drunk to be arrested for or convicted of DUI in Nevada. Nevada DUI convictions can be obtained when a person operates a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol OR operates a vehicle with a blood alcohol level (BAL) or breath alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or greater. Nevada DUI cases can be brought against a person who may appear normal, but who is above the legal limit of .08% BAC. This is called Nevada's "Per Se" law, meaning that it is illegal to be above a .08 no matter what the person's impairment level actually is. DUI arrests in Nevada also trigger the new implied consent law. All Nevada drivers have impliedly consented to a test of their blood or breath for alcohol content simply by obtaining a Nevada driver's license or by driving on Nevada's roads. There is no longer a right in Nevada to refuse to provide a breath or blood sample if arrested for DUI. This means that the police may use force to draw blood, if necessary, to obtain evidence to use against someone in a Nevada drunk driving case. When a person is stopped under suspicion for DUI, and the person does not have a prior DUI arrest, the officer is required to give a choice of tests.  The Officer must offer either a breath test or a blood test.  If a choice is not made the Officer may make one for the person.

• Frank Cremen: Misdemeanor offenses such as Driving Under the Influence (DUI / DWI) and Domestic Violence can carry severe consequences beyond fines or counseling. A conviction of DUI will result in the revocation of driving privileges.
• James Gallo: There are three kinds of criminal charges, misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor and felony charges. Misdemeanor charge if found guilty can carry up to a maximum of 6 months in jail and or a $1,000 fine depending on your previous criminal history. Gross misdemeanor charges can carry up to a maximum of one year in jail and up to a $2,500 fine depending on your previous criminal history. Felony charges are more serious and if found guilty can carry up to five years in prison and up to a $5,000 fine depending on the case and or your previous criminal history.
• Sprenz & Associates: The laws concerning "drunk driving" have changed radically over recent years. The person arrested today in Nevada for driving under the influence faces bewildering procedures and potentially devastating punishment -- punishment that can be more severe than in some felony cases. A person accused of drunk driving deserves to be represented zealously because an unjustified conviction will have repercussions lasting for the rest of the persons life.
