DUI

Do I have rights if I have been charged with a DUI?

If you’ve been charged with Driving Under the Influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI alcohol or drugs), it’s important that you take whatever steps possible to protect yourself from the potentially devastating effects of a DUI offense on your record. Call the Law Office of David R. Fischer to explore your options.

What are my potential consequences if convicted of DUI?

In Nevada, a DUI first-offense conviction carries a potential punishment of a maximum of up to six months in county jail and/or a fine of up to $1,000, with driving privileges also affected for three months. Prior DUI convictions within seven years increase your potential penalties. A DUI third-offense conviction exposes you to a potential felony conviction, which can result in prison time and the loss of a number of your basic civil rights.

Warrants

Do I have rights if I have an outstanding Warrant?

If you have an outstanding warrant, contact our office and we will file the proper paperwork with the court to help get your warrant resolved. Oftentimes, an outstanding warrant also means the underlying criminal case likely remains unresolved in some respect. The Law Office of David R. Fischer will help resolve any potential issues, including any concerns about the state filing additional charges for your failure to appear. If unresolved, failure to appear can escalate to a felony, and a felony conviction exposes you to potential prison time as well as a loss of civil rights.

Drug Charges

Do I have rights if I have been accused of an offense involving drugs?

If you have been accused of a drug-related offense, contact the Law Office of David R. Fischer to discuss your particular situation. Drug offenses in Nevada have many possible serious implications. For example, pleading to a simple possession of marijuana offense can affect your rights should you have a subsequent offense involving drugs. Schedule a consultation before accepting any plea offer from the District Attorney’s office.
