Las Vegas Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer

Clark County White Collar Defense Attorney

If you are under investigation for a federal offense, or have been charged in federal court in Nevada, you are entering a criminal justice system that will seem to have every advantage. Federal prosecutors have the resources and backing of the U.S. government behind them and will do everything possible to get a conviction.

But never forget that you have the U.S. Constitution on your side. Under our system of laws, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty. At Wright & Weiner, we take our responsibility to protect your rights very seriously. Our experienced federal criminal defense attorneys take every measure to ensure that the prosecutors don't cut corners.

  • We challenge the legality of the investigation: We investigate the legality of the federal investigation to make sure your rights were not violated by issues of probable cause.
  • We challenge the evidence: We ensure the police did not violate your Fourth Amendment rights by illegally searching your property and seizing evidence. We fight hard to suppress any evidence that was collected in violation of your rights.
  • We challenge the charges: Federal crimes are complex and often involve multiple parties. We make sure the charges have not been enhanced in order to give the prosecutor a better chance at a conviction.
  • We challenge the prosecution: We investigate thoroughly and challenge everything about the federal prosecutor's case, including eyewitness accounts, physical evidence and criminal intent.
  • We challenge the sentencing guidelines: Federal cases are different because of the additional issue of the sentencing phase. An effective defense includes arguing that the federal sentence does not fit the extent of the offense.

Most commonly, we defend misdemeanors that were committed on Lake Mead Recreational, the Nellis Air Force base, the Valley of Fire or the Bureau of Land Management.

We have earned a reputation among prosecutors for our hard work, intelligent defense strategies and integrity.
