Experienced Misdemeanor DUI Lawyer
People who are arrested for drunk driving often mistakenly think they have already been convicted of driving under the influence (DUI). That is incorrect. After an arrest, you have the opportunity to work with an attorney to fight the DUI charges.
In most circumstances, people who were arrested for a first or second offense will face charges for a misdemeanor DUI. Conversely, people who have been arrested and convicted three or more times will likely face felony DUI charges.
Regardless of the DUI charges you are facing, I can help protect your driving privileges and your criminal record. My firm — Mace J. Yampolsky & Associates — defends clients throughout Las Vegas who are facing DUI charges.
Fighting for a Minimum Sentence
In drunk driving cases, my first priority is always to have the charges reduced or dropped. In Las Vegas, different courts respond differently to charges. When clients retain us, we go to the first court appearance and enter a plea of not guilty on behalf of our clients.
Next, I gather the information I need to build a strong defense. If blood tests were performed, I do a private blood analysis to check that the state's results are the same as the results I received. If there are witnesses available, I talk with them. I review the police records and make sure I have a thorough understanding of everything that has happened in the case. In Nevada, misdemeanor DUI cases do not receive a jury trial. The judge hears all the evidence and makes the determination for the outcome of the case.
