Serious Criminal Defense for Nevada Drug Cases
Nevada is the home of Las Vegas, Reno and other cities that make it the adult entertainment capital of the world. But with its reputation for nightlife and fast times has also come a reputation for some of the harshest drug penalties in the nation. Possessing as little as an ounce of marijuana can mean facing category E felony drug charges if you have past convictions from other states on your record.

Habitual Criminal Charges and Mandatory Minimum Sentences
Under Nevada Revised Statutes, certain felony drug charges carry automatic mandatory minimum prison sentences. If you already have a felony conviction on your record — from any state — you could be charged as a habitual criminal, with mandatory prison sentences. If you have one felony conviction on your record from Nevada or another state, you may be facing a mandatory minimum of five years in prison, for even the slightest amount of illegal possession. It is critically important that your legal defense team is aware of the mandatory minimum sentences for Nevada drug charges and works aggressively to ensure you are not charged as a habitual criminal.
