Driving Under The Influence

Fighting to Protect Your Rights in DUI Cases

Being arrested in Las Vegas for a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) is typically the starting point of a drawn-out, stressful, costly, and embarrassing process that involves multiple Courts and the Department of Motor Vehicles. If you have been charged with a DUI, you could be facing extremely severe penalties including: jail time, expensive fines, community service, and loss of your driver’s license. Because DUI cases can become quite complex, it is important to have an experienced DUI attorney on your side to aggressively protect your interests and make sure you’re treated fairly. You have just found that attorney.

Warrants 

If you fail to appear in court at the time and date indicated on your Criminal Offense case, the court may issue a warrant for your arrest. You may also be issued a warrant if you failed to follow a previous court order. For example, if you did not pay a previously issued fine ordered by the court, or you did not complete community service, or you failed to complete court ordered classes.

Domestic Violence and Battery

Battery and Domestic Violence charges can be the most disruptive, difficult charges to fight. These charges can result in marital counseling, domestic violence counseling, anger management, alcohol abuse classes, restraining orders, and jail time—even when the so-called victim chooses not to press charges. In the State of Nevada, once the police have charged an individual with domestic violence, the state prosecutors will go forward with the charges in nearly all cases.

Drug Charges Criminal Defense in Las Vegas

Many people falsely believe Nevada is lenient when it comes to the prosecution of drug crimes.

This has become obvious with the recent Las Vegas drug arrests and prosecution of such celebrities as Paris Hilton and Bruno Mars.

Prostitution/Solicitation Charges in Las Vegas 

Much debate surrounds the sex industry in Las Vegas. Nevada remains the only state to allow legal “licensed houses of prostitution.” However, Las Vegas and Clark County Nevada do not allow for licensed houses of prostitution.  There are only certain select towns and counties in Nevada that have legalized prostitution. Local law enforcement officers in the Las Vegas area and throughout Clark County use undercover officers in sting operations to target individuals engaging in prostitution, pandering, sex trafficking, and running illegal brothels.

Theft Crimes Criminal Defense
