Working With Las Vegas Criminal Defense Attorneys in Las Vegas

One of the most difficult situations an individual can face is being accused of a crime. The court system is designed with all advantages being in favor of the court, and there are significant restrictions on the defendant beyond basic constitutional protections. Even then, those protections cannot be applied by the defendant; It takes solid representation from a Las Vegas criminal defense attorney to ensure those protections are respected by the court, including taking the defense all the way to a full trial. Not every Nevada lawyer will want to take the extra steps, and especially those with a burdensome caseload. The impact a conviction could have on the future of the defendant is immense, and defending the charges vigorously is the only answer in most situations.

Why You Need a Personal Private Las Vegas Criminal Defense Attorney

The lawyer you have representing your case is vital in Nevada. State court authorities are serious about enforcing the law, and the state legislators have provided significant punishment guidelines. This is especially true for certain types of cases such as DUI or fraud. Regardless of the crime level, certain defendants will qualify for public advocacy when the court determines they are qualified. The problem is that this rarely bodes well for the defendant, even in low-level crimes. Public defenders, while knowledgeable, work for the same state that is prosecuting. Their focus can often be on closing out as many cases they can as quickly as possible.

A private personal attorney is focused on a strong defense as well as walking you through the process. Our office only accepts as many cases as it can handle to the best of standards. A private attorney is going to guide you every step of the way, making sure you completely understand your options prior to making any decisions. At our office, you will be made aware of the process, what evidence the state has against you and what your best options are based on your particular circumstances. When a decision has been made you will be guided on how to be successful in completing what is required of you, if anything, prior to closing out the case.

What a Las Vegas Criminal Defense Attorney Can Do

All criminal cases are filed based on evidence that has been obtained by law enforcement officers or agents investigating certain types of crimes, such as a vice squad. Evidence typically consists of obtained documentation based on confiscation of personal property, officer testimony, and statements from witnesses providing state evidence. While a defendant is extremely limited in contesting any evidence, an aggressive Las Vegas criminal defense attorney can evaluate each article of evidence for admissibility, lawful acquisition, and material application in the prosecution. Questionable evidence can be singled out for dismissal or suppression, and all witnesses can be questioned both before the case goes to court or when cross-examined in an open hearing.

The Legal Practice You Choose Matters Significantly

While any Nevada lawyer could conceivably represent your criminal case, criminal defense is a particular area of legal practice that gets the most successful results by retaining an aggressive lawyer like Gary Guymon. Specific rules and constitutional protections apply when facing a conviction, and details are vital to all cases. Reasonable doubt is the standard in criminal matters, and criminal defense attorneys like Gary Guymon are diligent about building a legal argument that maximizes reasonable doubt and questions any and all evidence being provided by the prosecution as a basis for their charge.
