Las Vegas DUI Attorney

DUI Defense Lawyers Serving Clark County, Nevada

DUI (driving under the influence) is one of the most common offenses committed throughout Las Vegas and the surrounding areas in Nevada. If you or someone you know was arrested for DUI, it is crucial that you talk to a lawyer about your options.

We believe it is important to stress that even if you took a breath or blood test and failed, or if you failed field sobriety tests, there may still be a chance to help you avoid a conviction in criminal court. In fact, there are a number of viable defenses that can be explored on your behalf. Blood tests may be administered improperly. The breath test device may have not been calibrated correctly or may have malfunctioned. An explanation entirely unrelated to alcohol or drugs may have led to your failure on a field sobriety test. By investigating all aspects of your case, a Las Vegas DUI attorney can determine exactly how to best approach your defense.

A driver may potentially face DUI charges if he or she is accused of driving while under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance, and/or if accused of driving with a blood alcohol concentration at or above .08%. A Las Vegas DUI arrest also triggers administrative license suspension by the Nevada DMV. You have only 7 days to contact the DMV and request a hearing to challenge the suspension of your Nevada driver’s license.

Fortunately, your Las Vegas DUI lawyer can represent you both during criminal court proceedings and at your DMV hearing. Protecting your legal rights and helping you avoid imprisonment, fines, community service and probation is of the utmost importance, and so is protecting your driving privileges. Your lawyer can address both of these matters on your behalf.
