The decisions made in the first few hours after an arrest matter more than most people realize.

Say nothing

Give your name. That's it. Don't explain, don't deny, don't try to clear things up. Anything you say becomes evidence — including things that sound innocent.

Ask for an attorney

Say it clearly: "I want an attorney. I won't answer questions without one." Once you've said it, questioning must stop. Don't say anything else until counsel is present.

Don't contact the other party

In domestic violence and assault cases especially, any contact with the alleged victim — even through a friend — can add charges and make the case harder to defend.

Call us before your arraignment

Arraignment is where bail gets set and where a first opportunity to fight for your release exists. Having an attorney there changes the outcome. Call 702-990-0190.

Most defense attorneys won't tell you their prices until after you've hired them.

We put ours on the website. Misdemeanors, DUI, domestic battery, felonies — the fees are right there before you call. No consultation required just to get a number. If you need a payment plan, we work that out at intake. You know what you're getting into before you sign anything.

FAQ

Nevada Criminal Defense — FAQs

What people ask us first.

Say nothing beyond your name. Do not explain, deny, or argue — anything you say can and will be used against you. Ask for an attorney immediately. The first hours after an arrest matter: evidence gets reviewed, bail gets set, and early decisions shape what happens next.

Yes. Even a misdemeanor conviction in Nevada can affect your job, housing, professional license, and immigration status. An attorney can often get charges reduced, dismissed, or resolved through diversion. The cost of not hiring one usually exceeds the cost of hiring one.

Yes — for insufficient evidence, constitutional violations (unlawful search, Miranda violations), witness credibility problems, or prosecutorial discretion. Many cases also qualify for diversion programs that result in full dismissal on completion.

Misdemeanors carry up to 6 months jail and a $1,000 fine. Gross misdemeanors up to 364 days. Felonies range from Category E (probation-eligible) to Category A (up to life). Classification also determines collateral consequences — firearm rights, professional licensing, immigration status.

Liberators uses flat-fee pricing. Misdemeanors start at $750 down, DUI and domestic battery at $1,000 down, felonies at $1,500 down. Payment plans are available. Fees are posted on the website before you call — no consultation required just to get a number.

Possibly — and that's true even for misdemeanors. Many employers run background checks, and a conviction record can affect hiring, promotion, and security clearances. Licensed professionals — nurses, teachers, contractors, real estate agents, lawyers — are subject to board discipline for criminal convictions separate from any criminal penalty. Avoiding a conviction entirely, or minimizing the charge, is often as important as avoiding jail time.

Being innocent doesn't make the case go away on its own. The prosecution proceeds based on the evidence it has — and false accusations, misidentification, and circumstantial cases against innocent people go to trial regularly. The defense attorney's job is to expose the weaknesses in the prosecution's case, challenge the evidence, and make the jury apply the reasonable doubt standard. Innocent people need aggressive representation as much as anyone else.

Yes, in many cases. Nevada allows record sealing after a waiting period that depends on the charge — misdemeanors after 2 years, Category E felonies after 7 years, other felonies after longer periods. Certain offenses (sex crimes, DUI causing death) are not sealable. A dismissal or acquittal can often be sealed immediately. Getting the best possible resolution on the current charge is the first step — it directly affects what sealing options are available later.

How a criminal case moves through Nevada courts

Most people have no idea what they're walking into. In Clark County, cases move through Las Vegas Justice Court, Henderson Municipal Court, North Las Vegas Justice Court, and the Eighth Judicial District Court. Here's what each stage actually means.
