Want to hire a NevadaDUI attorney? Do you already have a DUI case? Were you recently arrested and charged in conjunction with a DUI, but have not gone to trial yet? Or, maybe you were simply in the car with someone and somehow were implicated in conjunction with their DUI / DWI arrest and are in need of a criminal defense attorney yourself. This is exactly what this page was designed for. Peruse the DUI / DWI lawyer specialists or general criminal defense attorneys listed below at your leisure.
Many DUI and criminal defense attorneys offer a free initial consultation to see if they can assist you with your case. Listed below are the Las Vegas Attorneys who do offer free initial consultations. We have divided them up according to whether they specialize in DUI / DWI or are general criminal defense lawyers here in Las Vegas.
What to Look for in a Nevada DUI Attorney
When deciding what attorney or lawyer you will use to assist you in defending you or advising you in your DUI case in Las Vegas or other local municipality, is best suited for you, there are several factors you would need to take into consideration.
Cost
Are there mitigating fees
Was there a quote for costs of the entire case
Will there be further costs for going to trial
The reputation of the firm with the courts
Have there been any disciplinary actions taken against the firm by the Nevada State Bar
The experience of the attorney with Las Vegas DUI cases
Whether the firm has an extensive background with DUI cases
Whether the firm specializes in DUI cases
With all of the anti-drunk-driving advertisement, paraphernalia, T.V. commercials, public service announcements, and celebrity endorsements, it is hard to find a group of jurors with even a rational, objective mind about the question of your case. In fact most jurors are predisposed to convict in a DUI / DWI case. When you are deciding how far to go with your case, it is wise to also consider how much trial experience your Nevada DUI Attorney has at trial. Also, you would want to research their record. You would want to know how many acquittals they have had, how many dismissals, and how many times have they reduced a dui down to a non-alcohol offense.
Due to the precise nature of this crime your Las Vegas lawyer has to have not only an understanding of the law itself, but also the science behind the breath and blood tests and the metabolism of alcohol.
Once you have decided on your Nevada DUI attorney, allow your lawyer to do a complete investigation of the facts. Make sure you share every possible detail. These DUI / DWI tests are not always correct. Just because you were told you were above the legal limit does not mean you actually had that much alcohol in your blood at the time the test was taken. Refer to our DUI / DWI tests page for further information on the science behind the tests.
[Again this information is simply offered to assist you, however you are responsible for your own due diligence when seeking the advice of a DUI / DWI lawyer or criminal defense attorney. We hope this information is useful to you.]

You might have heard different title given to lawyers or attorneys. Please don’t be confused. The different titles are simply to identify those attorneys that have taken it upon themselves to specialize. They may specialize on the criminal defense side, as opposed to a general practitioner of the law, or may get even more specialized than that. I have listed the specializations some lawyers and attorneys have gone through, from the general to the specific.
These attorneys may go so far as to specialize the entire firm, calling itself a criminal law firm. The lawyers that worked therein would be called criminal lawyers. You may also hear a lawyer call himself a trial lawyer. A trial lawyer is a special type of beast, altogether different from other lawyers. What separates them from other lawyers is a set of tools they must master to stand in front of a jury or even a judge for that matter, and plead a case, hopefully successful. The above list of lawyers should be the best and brightest of the Nevada DUI attorneys. They may belong to a criminal law firm. We encourage you to investigate any and every professional you contract with.
