Know Your Legal Rights in Nevada

Accused of a Crime? Don't Talk To the Cops.

In the course of conducting a criminal investigation, the police have a number of tactics they use to get information and collect evidence against you. It is important that you know your legal rights in Nevada and how you can protect yourself. If you have been contacted by the police, it is important that you talk to a criminal defense lawyer immediately.

The attorneys at the law firm of Wright & Weiner, Ltd. represent clients throughout Nevada and northern Arizona in all types of criminal defense cases, including bad checks, prostitution, drug crimes, DUI and domestic violence and many others. We believe that there is nothing more important than your rights. Nothing.

Know Your Rights. Talk to an Attorney.

The police are not your friends. They are trained to lie to you in order to get you to make statements before your arrest and before you can seek counsel. When they tell you they just want to talk to you, it probably means that they are getting ready to arrest you. If the police want to talk to you, no matter what they say, you want to talk to a lawyer first. The law says you have the right to remain silent. Take advantage of it.

When you come to our office, we will explain what is happening and what the next steps should be. We will get between you and the police so we can protect your rights to the fullest extent possible. We will find out what the situation is and why they want to talk to you. You can count on us to be there with you at every step, working constantly to see that you receive fair treatment under the law.
