FAQs

What do I do if my lawyer or public defender won't return my calls or give me the discovery (the evidence)?

If you feel you are not going to court prepared, or you are not provided access to your lawyer or the evidence from your lawyer, you have the right to bring this to the judge's attention. This is not an effective legal representation.

When looking to hire an attorney, do I have the right to know the attorney's actual experience in trial?

Yes, you do and it's important to ask because an attorney with limited trial experience is less likely to be offered as good of a resolution or plea deal to your case.

Is it worth it to take the initiative to seal an old conviction or a charge that was dismissed?

Yes. Under Nevada law if you obtain an order to seal your records, you can legally answer that the arrest, charge, conviction, or the facts underlying the case, never happened.

If I post bail to get out of jail, will I get my money back if I show up to court?

It depends. If you post the full amount of the bail, the person posting the money will get that money back at the end of the case (minus and any court fines). If you obtain a bondsman to post the bail, you'll pay them 15% of the total bail amount and they'll put up the rest. In this case, you'll get no money back at the end of the case.

If I've been involved in a justified shooting, should I give law enforcement a statement?

Even if you're totally innocent or justified, it's always prudent to speak to law enforcement with an attorney present when your calm and prepared. While it may be appropriate to tell the first responders you were defending yourself, getting into detailed questioning and answering can later turn out to be harmful. Words get twisted, your thoughts may be jumbled, your demeanor may be wrongly analyzed, etc. Wait to talk (if at all) after consulting your attorney.

The Primary Types Of Child Custody In Nevada Nevada law describes two types of child custody to explain a parent’s legal duties in a divorce case. Physical Custody Legal Custody The court can award a single parent or both parents sole or shared custody. A parent who has physical custody means the child lives with them at least part-time. A parent with legal custody has the right to make major decisions related to the child’s welfare. To provide additional information about child custody in Nevada, our Reno family law attorneys describe the difference between physical and legal custody. Child custody is determined by mutual agreement from both parents or by a Court decision. Each parent has joint legal custody and joint physical custody until an arrangement is made final by the Court. Physical custody considers how a child is cared for on a daily basis. The Court will consider who the primary caregiver is and will try to preserve the current home arrangement if possible. Research shows the stability of the child is crucial to their development. If the parties cannot agree to joint physical custody, the Court will consider additional factors set forth in NRS 125.
