DUI
Anyone can get a DUI; it could be a man, a woman, someone young or someone old, although most of DUI clients are generally male.
Around 80% of DUI cases involve males. It is interesting because if a man and a woman, who weigh the same, drank the exact same amount of alcohol, the woman’s blood alcohol level would be higher because women’s bodies generally carry more fat, and because of that, the alcohol stays in the fat longer and the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) will be higher.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Domestic violence in Nevada occurs when a person hits, pushes, strangles, elbows, or knocks down his or her spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend, or any roommate. Sometimes you can throw something at someone or even break his or her phone and /or computer, and you could have committed domestic violence. In Nevada, even if you don’t want to prosecute, the DA or city attorney can charge and even convict someone without your cooperation and consent. This is the one crime in which the confrontation clause of the U.S. Constitution does not apply. Also, if there is strangulation or substantial bodily harm, the charges will be a felony.

JUVENILE
We understand how frightening it can be if your child is accused of committing a crime. Fears abound as parents ask: What does the legal process for juvenile crimes entail? What punishment will my child face? How will this affect his or her future?
​
SEX CRIMES
There are various crimes in Nevada that are considered sex crimes, and these can range from indecent exposure to rape or sexual assault. Nevada sex crimes carry some of the steepest penalties of any crimes, up to life imprisonment, and it is always recommended that those facing these charges seek the assistance of an experienced sex crimes attorney to handle the case.
​
DRUG CRIMES
There is a new body of law regarding “stash houses,” where government agents essentially set up a crime, typically with people who would not have the expertise or wherewithal to actually commit the crime. These cases may be dismissed for Outrageous Government Conduct. Drug-related crimes are perhaps some of the most aggressively prosecuted crimes in our legal system today. The zero tolerance atmosphere we live in makes it nearly impossible for a person charged with a drug related crime to get a fair trial.
​
THEFT
There are many different types of theft crimes, with robbery being the worst because it causes such fear. If you use a deadly weapon and are convicted, you will automatically get an additional sentence.
​
FRAUD
Fraud is defined as the intentional deception of another party in order to achieve a monetary or personal gain. Many actions can constitute fraud, including statements or activities that are intended to conceal or misrepresent the truth to others. Minor fraud allegations may be pursued solely in civil court, while more serious cases can result in state or federal criminal charges.
​
VIOLENT
CRIMES
Violent crimes cover a broad range of offenses that involve the infliction or threat of physical harm to another person. Depending on the seriousness of the offense, a conviction on these types of charges can carry significant penalties including fines, probation, and prison time. There are always two sides to the story in these cases, and it is important to have an experienced violent crimes attorney on your side to protect your interests.
