When Las Vegas police pull you over and charge you with DUI, the clock starts immediately. Nevada law gives you only 7 days to request a DMV hearing to contest your license suspension — and that's completely separate from your criminal case. At Freedom First Criminal Defense, Attorney Thomas Wells moves fast to protect both fronts the moment you call.
How We Fight Your DUI Charges
A DUI charge is not a conviction. Every element of the state's case must be proven — and every element can be challenged. Our Las Vegas DUI defense strategy starts with a forensic review of your arrest.
Was there reasonable suspicion to pull you over? An unconstitutional stop can result in all evidence being suppressed.
We subpoena calibration logs and maintenance records. Even small deviations in procedure can invalidate BAC results.
FSTs are subjective and easily influenced by medical conditions, road conditions, and officer error.
Chain of custody, fermentation, and contamination issues can challenge blood-test results in court.

Las Vegas DUI Defense FAQ
What happens after a DUI arrest in Nevada?
After a DUI arrest in Nevada, you have only 7 days to request a DMV hearing to fight your license suspension — separate from the criminal case. You'll face arraignment, pretrial conferences, and potentially a trial. An experienced Las Vegas DUI attorney can challenge the stop's legality, breathalyzer calibration, field sobriety procedures, and more.
Can a DUI be dismissed or reduced in Nevada?
Yes. Many DUI charges in Nevada can be reduced to "reckless driving" or dismissed outright if the evidence is challenged effectively. We scrutinize every element — from the traffic stop's legality to blood-draw chain of custody. Attorney Wells has secured dismissals and reductions in hundreds of DUI cases throughout Clark County.
How much does a Las Vegas DUI lawyer cost?
We offer a free initial case evaluation so you can understand your options before making any financial commitment. Our fees are transparent with no hidden costs, and we offer flexible payment plans. The cost of not fighting a DUI — fines, increased insurance, employment impacts — far exceeds the cost of quality representation.
What are the penalties for a first-time DUI in Nevada?
A first-time DUI in Nevada (without injury) carries: 2 days to 6 months jail (or 48–96 hours community service), fines from $400–$1,000 plus court costs, 185-day license revocation, DUI school, and possible ignition interlock device. A skilled defense attorney may be able to minimize or eliminate these penalties.
Do I need a lawyer for a DUI checkpoint arrest?
Absolutely. Checkpoint arrests involve specific constitutional requirements that law enforcement must follow. If the checkpoint wasn't properly conducted, the stop may be unconstitutional and your case could be dismissed. Attorney Wells has successfully challenged checkpoint stops in Las Vegas courts.
