Attorney Offices

  • McKenna, Ken: Most criminal defense attorneys are not qualified to handle these cases.
  • Steven Sexton: Once Arrested Don't Speak without an Attorney Present. This helps prevent you from putting your foot in your mouth and keeps the police and prosecution on the straight-and-narrow. Get Real. Your freedom is at risk. You face an uphill battle. You are facing a prosecutorial juggernaught with a long memory and deep pockets. ...sometimes prodded by the victim. The prosecuting attorney assigned your case is paid--not to understand or like you--but to gain a conviction. Don't Fight the Evidence. The prosecution usually believes it has the necessasry evidence to convict you before they charge you. But if the evidence is weak we may be able to get the charges dropped or diminished. On the other hand, if we learn the evidence against you is strong and lawfully acquired, it may be wise for you to plead guilty to reduced charges. Prosecutors Are Not Unreasonable. Most prosecutors listen to reason. They often lessen the charges when they hear a compelling argument that either casts doubt on their ability to convict or convinces he/she that you are a good person who did something out of character. Plea Bargains Rely on Trust. You may be guilty and not want to risk a trial. In exchange for a minimum sentence you may want to plead guilty. Saving the government the time and expense of trial may be your only bargaining chip. If you find yourself in this situation, 1) you need to be represented by an attorney who is well regarded and trusted by the prosecution and 2) knows what to ask for and what to expect.
  • Nevada Law Group: Far too many people go to jail, lose their driver's license, and needlessly suffer other consequences for lack of a competent DUI attorney. By giving police information or pleading guilty, they forego the opportunity to challenge the evidence against them.
  • Rasmussen & Kang:

    Drunk Driving DUI/DWI

    Drunk driving (DUI) is a serious criminal offense in Nevada.  A drunk driving conviction anywhere in Nevada can result in serious consequences, including:

    • Establishment of a Criminal Record
    • Increased Insurance Premiums
    • Large Fines & Court Costs
    • Lengthy Probation
    • Court-Ordered Alcohol Treatment
    • Home Detention
    • Jail Time

    If you are charged with DUI, you need to take the charges seriously, and you need a serious DUI defense lawyer to represent you.

    When you are charged with DUI, an experienced DUI defense attorney knows how to challenge the evidence against you.  A DUI charge has several components that must be handled properly by the police in order to protect your rights.  Examine all aspects of your case, including:

    • The Reason Your Vehicle Was Stopped
    • The Validity of Roadside Sobriety Tests
    • The Maintenance and Operation of Breathalyzer Units
  • James Krah: If you ... face criminal charges ... you need to retain a quality attorney without delay.
  • Theodore Williams: You shoud hire an attorney as soon as you become aware that the police or another state agency is looking for or investigating you, or if you believe that you may have committed a crime. The earlier you contact a lawyer the better. An attorney can intervene with the police and either prevent an arrest or, if you are going to be arrested, arrange for your surrender at a time and in a manner that minimizes embarrassment to you or your family. Retaining a lawyer also prevents the police from questioning you.
  • Craig Mueller: You either have your license taken away by an officer, or you will receive a letter from the DMV revoking your license. You then have 7 days to request a hearing. The DMV must schedule an initial hearing within 90 days from the date of revokation or notification of revocation. DMV will mail your hearing notice. You should receive it 30 to 45 days after your request. If you fail to request a hearing with 90 days from the start of the revocation period, you waive the right to that hearing. Your immediate goal is a temporary license, available to anyone whose revoked drivers license is otherwise valid. This temporary license allows you to drive until the written opinion from your DMV hearing is issued.
  • Andrew Fritz: After being arrested for DUI/DWI in Nevada, if the results of your breath or blood test were .10% blood-alcohol or above, your license will be suspended 7 days after the arrest unless you or your attorney take appropriate action to demand an administrative hearing within 7 days after your arrest.
  • Laurence Digesti: Q. When I was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI), the police took my driver's license because my blood alcohol level was over the statutory presumptive level. I need my license to work. What can I do? A. If this were to happen you would be given a temporary license which would allow you drive for a period of 7 days. You may then request an administrative hearing with the Department of Motor Vehicles, contesting the suspension of your driving privileges. Pending the hearing, you are allowed to drive. If the hearing officer upholds the suspension, the period of suspension starts to run when the decision is entered. During the period of suspension you may apply for a restricted license through the Department of motor vehicles which allows you to drive on a restricted basis, such as back and forth to work.
  • Chip Siegel: One reason to immediately contact a lawyer is to request an Administrative hearing from the DMV. If you took a breath test, your license may be suspended within seven days. Driving on a suspended license for failing a breath / blood test is a new crime with mandatory jail time. By contacting me today, I can request a hearing and keep you legally driving.
  • Jeffrey Posin: Nevada law forbids anyone from drinking an alcoholic beverage while they are driving or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle. In addition, it is unlawful for anyone to have an open alcoholic beverage container in the passenger area of a motor vehicle while the motor vehicle is being driven. This statute is separate and apart from Nevada's drunk driving laws.
  • Johnson & Klevin: If you receive two DUI convictions within a 5 year period, the DMV will take your license away from you for 3 years. And, if you have three major traffic offense convictions in a 5 year period of time, the DMV will take your license away for 5 years. Additionally, if convicted your insurance rates will skyrocket, costing you hundreds of dollars each year for several years. As you can see, a DUI conviction will haunt you for years and years to come (and in some cases, your whole life). The State has vast resources and manpower to prosecute you, and the laws governing DUI offenses are complex. Therefore, hiring a competent attorney to properly defend your DUI case is a must.
  • Edward Miley: he first line of defense is to challenge the reason that you were stopped. There are bad stops! There are many things that you need to do before appearing in front of a judge.
  • Cristina Hinds: If you are charged with drunk driving, the charges can impact your insurance rates, your ability to drive and earn a living, and you may even face jail time.
  • Jason Earnest: In addition to fines, the revocation or suspension of your driverŐs license, and possible jail time, a conviction of DUI charges may cause your insurance company may increase your rates to an unmanageable level.
  • John Routsis: If you are facing criminal charges, selecting the attorney who will represent you is the most important decision you will make. Whether you've been charged with a simple misdemeanor or a very serious felony offense, a poor defense could have a disastrous impact on your life. The outcome of a criminal matter can follow you for decades, limiting employment opportunities and resulting in the loss of privileges. With so much at stake, it is imperative that you choose an attorney who will work with you to achieve the best possible result. You need someone who will protect your rights.
