DUI Lawyers DUI proceedings
There are two types of hearings you have to deal with after being arrested for a DUI in Nevada. Here's a brief explanation of what those hearing are.
DUI Lawyers Drivers License
Do you know what happens to your license after being arrested for a DUI in Nevada?
DUI Lawyers DUI LAWS
In Nevada there are 3 ways to get convicted of a DUI. Every DUI is not the same and should be handled accordingly. Let DUI Lawyers of Las Vegas help you with your DUI.
DUI Lawyers Evidentiary test
Did you know that the method with which the police officer tested you for a DUI may be the reason you win or lose your case. Getting a DUI in Las Vegas should be handled by a professional who knows how to protect you from improper prosecution.
- Q. Is there a statute of limitations on DUI Charges?
- A: Yes, for most misdemeanor charges the statute of limitation is one year. However, if your charge is a potential felony DUI, the State would have three years to file (in Nevada).
- Q. Car accident, I was dui tested but the other driver was not. Is that right or should she have been tested as well?
- A: No, they would only elevate a traffic accident investigation to a DUI investigation if they had independent grounds to suspect you of DUI. They must not have suspected the other driver of DUI or they would have investigated and potentially arrested him/her. I have represented many clients for DUI that were stopped at a red light and got rear-ended by another driver. You "got the DUI test" because law enforcement suspected you of DUI, not because you were suspected of causing an accident.
- Q. in Nevada, wht happens to someone who committed one domestic battery within 7 yr period & failed to complete classes?
- A: The individual is subject to his sentence terms. Was there a suspended sentence? If not, the individual is subject to the Court's contempt power (up to $500 in fines and up to 25 days in jail).
