LAS VEGAS TRAFFIC TICKET LAWYER
If you’ve been pulled over, ticketed, or arrested for a traffic offense in Las Vegas or the greater Clark County area, we understand the stress and uncertainty you’re facing. At the Law Offices of Shimer Zach, LLC, we also understand that mistakes happen ─ not just by drivers, but sometimes by law enforcement officers as well. That’s why we’re here to take your side and fight for you. In many situations, we can have charges reduced or even dismissed without you ever needing to appear in court.
If your case does require a court appearance, our team will prepare a robust defense designed to challenge the prosecution at every step. Remember, the burden of proof lies with the state, and they must establish their case beyond a reasonable doubt. We work diligently to ensure this is no easy task for the prosecution.
TRAFFIC OFFENSES MAY BE DISMISSED BECAUSE OF:
Lack of probable cause
Failure to advise of Miranda rights or police misconduct
Weak or insufficient evidence
Mistaken identity
Unreliable or unavailable witnesses
Good standing in the community or a clean criminal record
Exonerating evidence
WHAT ARE THE VIOLATIONS?
Criminal Defense
It’s important to remember that a driver’s license is a responsibility, not a right. Violating traffic laws can result in a wide range of penalties, including the loss of driving privileges, fines, or even imprisonment. Even minor traffic offenses can be costly.
In Nevada, most traffic violations are classified as misdemeanors. These offenses can carry penalties of up to six months in jail, fines of up to $1,000, or both. Penalties vary depending on the type and severity of the violation.
Serious traffic crimes, such as driving under the influence (DUI), reckless driving, or driving with a suspended license, require mandatory arrest. Additionally, a driver may be arrested for other offenses if law enforcement believes they are unlikely to appear in court or pay the fine.
Nevada may also impose other requirements on licensed drivers who are convicted of violations, including:
Court and administrative fees
Community service
Drug and alcohol counseling
Attending a victim impact panel
Attending and paying for a driver safety class or traffic school
