DUI Defense Lawyer Serving Las Vegas & Henderson, Nevada

If you are visiting this website, it is likely that you or someone you know is in need of legal assistance. DUI (driving under the influence) is a serious offense that will require immediate legal counsel. As an experienced Las Vegas DUI defense attorney, it is my goal to educate people about DUI charges and penalties and to help them avoid these serious consequences by giving them the representation they need. I represent clients throughout Las Vegas, Henderson and the surrounding areas in Clark County, Nevada.

Nevada DUI Charges

DUI charges in Nevada are a serious matter. As soon as possible following the arrest, you will need to address the issue of the suspension of your driver’s license. If you took a breath test or blood test, you will receive a notice of revocation either in person or through the mail. If you do not contact the Nevada DMV and schedule a hearing regarding this suspension, you will lose your license for a set period of time.

Fortunately, a Las Vegas DUI lawyer can provide you with legal representation at your DMV hearing. I am dedicated to providing my clients with the representation they need throughout the criminal court process and at DMV hearings in order to help them avoid criminal DUI penalties and license suspension.

On the criminal side, a Las Vegas or Henderson DUI conviction may result in mandatory imprisonment, court-ordered counseling or rehabilitation, fines, court fees, community service, probation and more. Sentencing will be determined on a case-by-case basis and will be dependent upon a number of factors. The defendant’s blood alcohol concentration will affect sentencing if it is well above the legal limit (such as .18% or greater). Whether the defendant has any prior DUI convictions will also affect sentencing. Multiple DUI offenses result in enhanced penalties: longer terms of imprisonment, longer license suspension or revocation, higher fines and more community service.

Defending DUI Charges in Las Vegas, Nevada

Although law enforcement may have told you that your case is hopeless, even if you took a breath test or blood test and failed, or in the presence of a plea bargain offered by the prosecuting attorney, a Las Vegas DUI attorney’s legal counsel and guidance will be virtually priceless. There are various defense strategies that a competent lawyer should explore in determining how to build your case, including whether you were subjected to a lawful initial police stop, whether blood and alcohol tests were performed properly, and whether your field sobriety testing was conducted per state standards. There is always hope when you have the right DUI lawyer at your side. Contact our firm to find out more about your unique charges and what we can do to help.
