Las Vegas Criminal Defense Attorney

Defending All Charges – From Category “A” Felonies to Simple Misdemeanors

If you face criminal prosecution in the State of Nevada, you need immediate representation. Matters of great consequence – including your right to bail – will be decided very early in the proceedings. Even if formal 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 own attorney or to rely on the public defender’s office. But with so many defense lawyers offering their services, which one is right for you?

Jennifer and the team at Ferris Law win cases. This, above all else, is the reason people hire our 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. Other times, it means helping a judge recognize that an individual with substance abuse problems needs treatment, not prison. We investigate, negotiate, and litigate every case vigorously to arrive at the best possible outcome for each client.

Types of Cases We Handle

Ferris Law takes on cases across the spectrum of criminal matters, including bench warrants, pre-trial investigations, arrests and charges.

The Collateral Consequences of a Criminal Conviction

A criminal conviction can have a number of collateral consequences, beyond imprisonment and fines. This may include loss of professional licenses, ineligibility for certain benefits or public funds, and even deportation for immigrants. Having a conviction on one’s record can affect employment, housing, and financial opportunities. These consequences are significant and far-reaching, and much can be done to limit criminal penalties or avoid a conviction altogether.
