We handle cases in Las Vegas Justice Court, Henderson Municipal Court, North Las Vegas Municipal Court, Clark County District Court, and federal court in the District of Nevada.

How much does a DUI lawyer cost in Las Vegas?

DUI legal fees in Nevada vary depending on whether it's a first offense, second offense, or felony DUI, and whether the case goes to trial. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees and provide written fee agreements before any work begins. During your free consultation, we'll discuss costs specific to your DUI case and offer flexible payment options when possible. Investing in experienced DUI defense can save you thousands in fines, insurance increases, and lost income.

Can you help with DUI charges in Clark County and Henderson?

Absolutely. DUI defense is our primary practice area throughout Clark County, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and all of Southern Nevada. We immediately challenge the legality of DUI stops on the Strip, I-15, I-215, US-95, and local roads. We scrutinize field sobriety tests, contest breathalyzer and blood test results, and fight to protect your driving privileges through DMV hearings. We handle first-offense DUIs, second DUIs, third DUIs (felony), and DUI causing injury or death.

What should I do if I'm arrested for DUI in Las Vegas?

First, be polite but exercise your right to remain silent. Do not admit to drinking or drug use. Do not consent to searches beyond what's required by Nevada's implied consent law. Call us immediately at (702) 857-7197—we offer 24/7 emergency legal support. You have only 7 days from your arrest to request a DMV hearing to protect your driver's license, so time is critical. The sooner we get involved, the better we can protect your rights and build your defense.

Yes. We regularly appear in Las Vegas Justice Court, Henderson Municipal Court, North Las Vegas Municipal Court, Boulder City Municipal Court, and Clark County District Court.

Can you help with domestic violence charges in Las Vegas?

Yes. We have extensive experience defending domestic violence cases in Nevada, including domestic battery (NRS 200.485), violation of protective orders, and harassment charges. Nevada's domestic violence laws are extremely harsh, with mandatory jail time and protective orders that can impact your housing, employment, and gun rights. We challenge false accusations, investigate witness credibility, and fight for dismissals or reduced charges in Las Vegas Metro jurisdiction and throughout Clark County.

How long does a DUI case take in Las Vegas?

DUI cases in Las Vegas and Clark County typically take 3-6 months from arrest to resolution, though complex cases or those going to trial can take longer. First-offense misdemeanor DUIs usually resolve faster than felony DUI cases. We work efficiently to resolve your case as quickly as possible while never rushing or compromising your defense. You'll also have a separate DMV administrative hearing within 7 days of requesting it, which we handle in addition to your criminal case.

What are the penalties for DUI in Nevada?

Nevada DUI penalties vary by offense. First DUI: 2 days to 6 months jail (may be suspended for house arrest), $400-$1,000 fine, DUI school, victim impact panel, 185-day license suspension. Second DUI (within 7 years): 10 days to 6 months jail, $750-$1,000 fine, alcohol/drug treatment, 1-year license revocation. Third DUI (within 7 years): Felony charge, 1-6 years prison, $2,000-$5,000 fine, 3-year license revocation. DUI causing injury or death: Category B felony with 2-20 years prison. These are maximum penalties—we fight to minimize or eliminate them.
