Las Vegas Criminal Defense Attorney
Las Vegas is a vacation destination for millions of people from around the world every year. Our police, prosecutors and judges, however, don't make a distinction between Nevada residents and visitors when it comes to making arrests and pursuing criminal charges.
If you have been arrested for a criminal offense while visiting Las Vegas, Laughlin or another community in Las Vegas, you need experienced, local representation. The Oronoz Law Offices is recognized as one of the region's pre-eminent criminal defense law firms, successfully representing hundreds of individuals charged with misdemeanor and felony offenses in municipal, state and federal courts every year.
We Are Serious Trial Lawyers Who Take Cases to Trial — And Win
As a non-resident charged with a crime in Nevada, it may feel as if you are at a disadvantage. What happens in Vegas doesn't necessarily mean you have to stay in Vegas. It is frightening to know that you need to return to your home state for your job and family, but you are under the control of the local police and prosecutor. For most offenses, we can help you secure your release. For offenses such as DUI and misdemeanors, we can often handle the entire defense proceedings without the requirement that you appear in local court.
Just Because You Live Out of State, Doesn't Mean We Roll Over for the Prosecutors
No matter where you live, we handle your case aggressively; always determined to protect your rights and help you get the best possible outcome for your charges. We pursue every strategy to challenge the prosecutor's case. Most importantly, we keep you fully informed of court procedures and decisions. You are assured of aggressive, intelligent representation, and you remain in control of your decisions about taking a plea or going to trial.
A Lawyer Who Will Do Everything Possible to Help You Avoid a Conviction
We know you don't need a mistake or indiscretion to land you in jail and ruin your future. In many cases, local prosecutors offer diversion programs that will help you avoid a conviction and time in jail, upon successful completion. We work with the prosecutor to find options that can include probation, restitution, fines and education programs. When you meet the requirements and stay out of further legal trouble, you may have your record cleared.
