Las Vegas Criminal Defense Lawyer will not Judge You.

If the criminal defense lawyer you consult with looks at you with disgust and it is obvious that he or she has determined in his or her mind that you are guilty, you ought to reconsider hiring that lawyer.  You have plenty of time to research and meet with great lawyers to find the best one for you and your case.

It is the judge's or the jury's job to judge guilt or innocence.  It is the job of the criminal defense attorney to analyze the evidence from a procedural and substantive view and then give you your options.  Your criminal defense lawyer should be able to give you an objective view of your case while, at the same time, not act rude towards you.

It is vital that you be honest with your criminal defense attorney.  Sometimes, your criminal defense attorney will not want your whole story, but, what you to tell, should be true.

At Louis C. Schneider and Associates, we do not stand in judgment of you. Come meet with us.

Remember, for misdemeanor crimes, you will not get a court appointed public defender.  If you want a criminal defense attorney to represent your interests, you will have to hire one in private practice. 

DUI Experience, your advocate in court.

Not every lawyer who handles DUIs are equal in skill and experience. Surprisingly, the differences in pricing and services are not that dramatic, so you can literally get a half-assed lawyer for the same amount as an experienced DUI attorney.  For the person seeking legal representation in a standard DUI case, attorneys’ fees may be fairly competitive.

Judges are not lenient with DUI cases, even if it is your first offense.  As a result, it’s important to realize that hiring a lawyer is in your best interests despite the costs.  In general, you will already be paying hefty fines for the DUI charge and risk the suspension of your driver’s license, depending on which stage of the legal process you are in.  Some judges may waive part of the fines, but there is nothing that can be done to waive the conviction.  That is something that could stay with you for the rest of your life.

Louis Schneider has represented many DUI clients both in negotiating acceptable settlements and at trials when negotiations fail.  Call us for help with your Las Vegas DUI.

Traffic Ticket Lawyer in Las Vegas, Henderson, and Nevada Federal Court

Many residents and tourists are charged with traffic violations each year in and around Las Vegas, but few of them realize the problems associated with being convicted of the traffic charges.

When a person who is given a traffic citation by the police pleads guilty to the traffic violation, pays a fine, and attends traffic school, they probably have not considered the following ramifications associated with pleading guilty to a traffic citation:

•          Every conviction for a moving violation likely will raise your insurance rates.

•          Multiple convictions for traffic violations will likely result in a driver’s license suspension or license revocation. In Nevada, if you are convicted of driving with a suspended license, you may 
be restricted from acquiring a new license for a full year.

•          If you were involved in an automobile accident, received a moving citation, and are being sued civilly, the conviction may be used in the civil lawsuit to show that you were per se negligent.

•          If you have a commercial driver’s license (CDL), you may lose your license and the ability to earn a living. 

•          If you handle the traffic ticket by yourself, you will probably take at least 1 day off from work to go to court to resolve the ticket, and it is not a pleasant experience. 

As a result of convictions for moving violations, like simple speeding tickets, you will likely pay fines, court administrative fees, increased insurance costs, and attend traffic school. Further, you could suffer possible suspension or revocation of you driver’s license. If your Nevada license is suspended, you will not be able to obtain a license in any other State until the Nevada suspension is completed. On top of this, you will need to miss a whole day’s pay, just to go to court!

So, how can you likely prevent the headaches associated with the above for some minor traffic infraction?  You hire a criminal defense attorney with experience negotiating thousands of citations.  Louis Schneider has negotiated plea deals for misdemeanor traffic citations for many years and will bring his knowledge to the court for your matter and you will likely have to do little more than pay his fee, give him a copy of the citation, and then pay the fine to the court upon a negotiated deal.

Rehab at The Hard Rock is definitely the best place to be during the Las Vegas summer.  Young, good-looking partiers enjoy the pools, the drinks, and each other at the Hard Rock Rehab.  The police are undercover, though, and they are looking for drugs like ecstasy and marijuana that party goers bring to Rehab.  The police are also looking out for prostitution. Rehab is a pressure cooker of fun and good times and the police are there looking for crime or suspicious behavior.  Cheap thrills can become very expensive. 

You may be at Rehab at the Hard Rock for a bachelor party or bachelorette party, maybe even your honeymoon.  You may even tell yourself, “I’ve never done drugs before,” or “I’ve never solicited before,” but Rehab at the Hard Rock party atmosphere tempts you and you get busted.  You could have been having the best time of your life, too. If you are arrested or cited for any infraction of the law while at Rehab at the Hard Rock Hotel, be it drug possession, solicitation, prostitution, assault, battery, resisting arrest, trespass, DUI and you can afford to hire a private Las Vegas criminal defense attorney, you should hire the Law Offices of Louis C. Schneider, which has experience with tourists and locals in trouble at Rehab at the Hard Rock.

Rehab at the Hard Rock is the destination for a cheap, unique Las Vegas experience.  You should have the best time you can, but if something goes wrong, a criminal defense attorney will help. 

Criminal defense attorneys are not just for hardened repeat criminals.  You do not have to be a villain to require the legal help of an experienced criminal law attorney.  You can simply be a good person caught up doing something that someone else believes was against the law, such as having too good of a time at Rehab at the Hard Rock.  And, guess what, it may not have been against the law—but do not argue with your accuser (police or hotel guards).  Hire a Las Vegas lawyer who is trained to argue points of fact and criminal law, hire a Las Vegas criminal defense lawyer, especially one who used to be a prosecutor and understands the system and the players, and also, an attorney with experience dealing with situations arising from criminal activity at Rehab at the Hard Rock.

Many criminal judges are elected because they say they are, “Tough on crime,” or “Hard on criminals,”  and locals do not realize that this usually means the judge will be tough or hard on them for even minor mistakes or stupid, one-time experiments.  You need an attorney who understands how the system works so that you have the best shot to free yourself of the accusation or reduce punishment. If you are cheap and want to go with a free public defender, do not expect top notch representation and do not be surprised if you end up with many years of regret.

The Law Offices of Louis C. Schneider will not judge you, we will help you when others do.
