Not From Las Vegas?

Las Vegas Criminal Law Defense

Many people get into trouble when visiting or traveling through Las Vegas. If you received a summons, citation or notice to appear in court, you must physically appear before the judge at the stated time or a warrant will be issued for your arrest. This could result in you being arrested in your home state and being held for days or even months while the state of Nevada decides whether to have you transported back to face the court.

By hiring a Nevada licensed criminal attorney, you can avoid this scenario. In most instances, we can resolve your case without you having to you return to the state of Nevada. Under Nevada law, if the accused is represented by an attorney, the client's presence can be waived at all stages of a misdemeanor case. In the case of a felony or gross misdemeanor, the court has the discretion to waive the accused's presence at any stage of the proceedings. This is particularly applicable in less serious felonies and bad check or casino marker cases. In the majority of cases, we can even eliminate existing bench warrants and with skillful negotiation, arrest warrants as well.

What this means to you is that by hiring an experienced Nevada licensed criminal attorney, you can avoid the expense and hassle of having to return to the state for what otherwise could be multiple court appearances.
