Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice leverages former police officer expertise to challenge prosecutions through evidence-based strategies. We specialize in identifying procedural weaknesses in police investigations while maintaining aggressive courtroom representation. Clients benefit from tailored defense plans that consider both trial preparation and negotiated resolutions.
DUI/DWI Defense
As a certified drug recognition expert with extensive DUI training, we challenge chemical test accuracy and field sobriety test validity. Our defense strategies focus on technical violations of testing protocols and constitutional rights violations during traffic stops and arrests.
Domestic Violence
We defend against domestic violence charges by challenging evidence credibility and constitutional rights violations during investigations. Our approach addresses both criminal penalties and collateral consequences like firearm restrictions and child custody impacts.
Drug Crimes
Our defense against drug charges examines search warrant validity and chain-of-custody issues. We challenge evidence admissibility based on law enforcement procedural violations while exploring alternative sentencing options for possession and trafficking charges.
Record Sealing
We assist clients in clearing criminal records through Nevada's record sealing process. Our service includes eligibility assessment, petition preparation, and court representation to help clients regain employment and licensing opportunities.
