Criminal Defense Lawyers in Las Vegas, NV

Las Vegas has 120 firms and solo practices on this page for people looking for criminal defense lawyers in Nevada, and they do not all work the same way. Some offices take almost nothing but criminal cases. Others are personal injury, immigration or family firms that keep a criminal desk beside the main work. The city is in Clark County, and the local courts are the Las Vegas Justice Court and the Las Vegas Municipal Court, with the Eighth Judicial District Court also sitting in Las Vegas.

The offices built around criminal defense are easy to pick out. The Defense Firm, led by attorney K. Ryan Helmick, concentrates on criminal cases and takes on matters from theft and battery to murder and kidnapping. ATAC Law is built around attorney Augustus Claus, who began his career litigating in federal courts, and its caseload includes domestic violence, DUI, homicide, white collar and fraud charges and probation violations. LV Criminal Defense runs as a boutique firm on South 4th Street downtown. Spartacus Law Firm and Goodman Law Group also put criminal and DUI defense at the center of the practice.

A good part of the page is general practice. Eric Palacios & Associates Ltd and Craig P. Kenny & Associates are personal injury firms that also defend DUI and traffic cases. Benjamin Durham Law Firm combines injury work with criminal defense, and De Castroverde Law pairs criminal defense with immigration, in Spanish and English. Reza Athari & Associates is mainly an immigration practice that also takes DUI matters. A reader whose case is a traffic ticket or a first DUI may find these offices as relevant as the criminal-only firms, and Ticket Busters builds its whole practice around tickets, warrants and DUI.

Most of these offices work the whole valley rather than one neighborhood. Half Price Lawyers serves Henderson, North Las Vegas, Spring Valley and Summerlin. Spartacus Law Firm covers Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Spring Valley, Summerlin, Henderson and Green Valley. LBC Law Group reaches Boulder City and Mesquite, and The Defenders also serve Pahrump. North Las Vegas has its own justice court and municipal court, and Henderson has a page of its own with 15 businesses. Reno has 32, Minden 5 and Winnemucca 3 for charges farther north.
