Questions
What makes your firm different from other criminal defense attorneys?
Our attorneys previously served as Clark County prosecutors, giving us unique insight into case-building strategies and evidence evaluation methods used by the prosecution.
Can you help if I failed a field sobriety test during a DUI stop?
Yes, we challenge field sobriety test administration procedures and technical accuracy. Our experience shows these tests often produce unreliable results under court scrutiny.
How do you handle domestic violence cases where guilt seems obvious?
We examine police report inconsistencies, challenge witness credibility, and explore alternative explanations for injuries. Many apparent 'open-and-shut' cases get dismissed through technical defense.
What options exist for preserving driving privileges after DUI arrest?
We contest suspensions at Department of Licensing hearings, challenge breath test validity, and help clients obtain ignition interlock licenses to maintain work-related driving privileges.
Do you handle appeals if a criminal conviction occurs?
Our firm evaluates appellate options when trial courts make legal errors. We've successfully overturned convictions based on improper evidence handling and jury instruction issues.
How do you prepare for a criminal trial?
We conduct independent investigations, interview witnesses early, and challenge evidence admissibility. Our team creates multiple defense scenarios to anticipate prosecution strategies during trial.
