Las Vegas Criminal Defense Attorney

Defending Criminal Charges throughout Clark County

If you face criminal charges in Las Vegas, Nevada, you need immediate criminal defense representation. Matters of great consequence – including your right to bail – will be decided early in the proceedings. Even if formal criminal charges have not yet been filed against you, the likelihood of acquittal or conviction already hangs in the balance.
Now is not the time to act as your criminal defense lawyer or rely on the Las Vegas public defender’s office. But with so many criminal defense lawyers in Las Vegas offering their services, which one is right for you?

Criminal Cases We Handle

Ferris Law takes on cases across the spectrum of criminal matters, including bench warrants, pre-trial investigations, arrests, and charges. We can also assist you with record sealing to help you move forward from a past criminal charge.

When Should You Hire A Criminal Defense Lawyer?

You should hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible after an arrest. Hypothetically, you would want to have a lawyer during the time of an arrest, but that is not the case. It is best to attempt to talk to a lawyer right away.

Jennifer Ferris and the criminal defense team at Ferris Law win cases in Las Vegas, Nevada. This, above all else, is the reason people hire our criminal defense law firm following an arrest.

What constitutes a “win” in the criminal arena varies from case to case. At times, it means convincing 12 members of the Las Vegas community that the police made a mistake. It also means helping a Las Vegas judge recognize that an individual with substance abuse problems needs treatment, not prison.

No matter what your situation entails, our Las Vegas criminal defense attorney will investigate, negotiate, and litigate every criminal case vigorously to arrive at the best possible outcome for you.

What are the Potential Consequences of a Criminal Conviction?

A criminal conviction can have several collateral consequences beyond imprisonment and fines. These may include:

• loss of professional licenses
• ineligibility for certain benefits or public funds
• and potential deportation for immigrants

These consequences are significant and far-reaching, and much can be done to limit criminal penalties or avoid a conviction altogether.

Having a criminal conviction on one's record can affect employment, housing, and financial opportunities. Our criminal defense lawyers are ready to help you in the most challenging criminal cases in Nevada's state and federal courts.
