Southern Nevada Domestic Violence Defense Lawyer
The state of Nevada takes allegations of domestic violence very seriously and will frequently pursue criminal action against an alleged abuser even if the victim does not want to prosecute. A conviction on domestic violence charges carries stiff penalties including the loss of your right to own a firearm, fines, probation or even jail time for a first offense.
With so much on the line in these cases, be sure you have an experienced attorney who can help to protect your interests and preserve your rights. At the Las Vegas law firm of Mace Yampolsky & Associates, I offer my clients more than 25 years of experience. I know the law and I know what it takes to build a powerful defense on your behalf.
Fierce Protection of Your Rights
In some domestic violence cases, false accusations are made out of spite or to further the alleged victim's own agenda. In a divorce proceeding, for example, a mother may claim spousal abuse in order to harm her husband's credibility in a custody battle. I will work diligently to expose these accusations for the lies that they are and fight to protect your rights.
When I take a case, I fight to win. My goal is to beat the charges against you so you can walk away with your rights and freedom intact. If we can't beat the charges outright, I will work to plead the case down to a lesser offense such as breach of the peace or trespassing.
