Nevada Federal DUI Attorneys

Strong Defense for OUI or Drunk While Boating on Lake Mead

Defending Clients Charged With DUI or Other Offenses on Federal Land

The state of Nevada has more federally controlled, on a percentage basis, land than any other state in the nation. This includes national parks, military installations and land operated by the Bureau of Land Management, or BLM. Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam are both federally operated lands. People accused of crimes committed on federal land face federal charges, including DUI and OUI (Operating Under the Influence).

These cases are handled in federal court where the process is completely different and penalties can be much more severe. It is important to have an experienced attorney who can properly handle your case and protect your interests. At the Las Vegas law firm of Wright & Weiner, Ltd., we have experience handling all types of federal DUI and OUI offenses.
