One bad night shouldn't become a permanent record.
A DUI arrest in Las Vegas starts two cases against you — criminal court and a DMV license suspension with a deadline measured in days, not weeks. We answer at 2 a.m. because that's when it matters.
Arrested recently? Your license hearing deadline is already running.
That's how long Nevada gives you to demand a DMV hearing and protect your license after a DUI arrest.
Don't lose it by waiting →The Playbook
DUI cases are science.
Science gets challenged.
"Failed the breathalyzer" is where our work starts, not ends. Machines drift, protocols get skipped, and stops get made without cause. We check everything.
The Stop Itself
No reasonable suspicion, no case. We pull dash-cam, body-cam, and dispatch logs — weaving within your lane isn't illegal, and neither is leaving a bar.
02Breath Machine Records
Calibration logs, maintenance history, operator certification, and the 15-minute observation period that gets skipped constantly.
03Field Sobriety "Tests"
Graded subjectively, on gravel, at midnight, in headlights — by the officer who already decided. We show juries what these tests really measure.
04Rising BAC
Alcohol keeps absorbing after you stop drinking. The number at the station isn't the number while driving — and the law cares about the second one.
05Blood Draw Chain
Warrant validity, draw timing, fermentation in the vial, lab accreditation. Blood cases have more failure points than the state admits.
06Negotiated Landings
When the evidence holds, we land the plane gently: reckless-driving reductions, DUI court, and sealed records where eligible.
The Stakes
What a conviction costs.
What a defense saves.
First-offense DUI in Nevada is misdemeanor on paper — and five figures in real life. Here's the honest math.
Convicted, unrepresented
- License revoked 185 days minimum
- $400–$1,000+ fines plus court costs and DUI school
- SR-22 insurance — premiums triple for 3 years
- Ignition interlock on everything you drive
- Criminal record visible to employers & licensing boards
- Priors stack: a second within 7 years means mandatory jail
Defended properly
- DMV hearing demanded — license protected while we fight
- Evidence audited — stop, machine, protocol, lab
- Suppression motions that can end the case entirely
- Reductions negotiated from leverage, not hope
- Record sealing pursued the day you're eligible
- Your side told — to the prosecutor, judge, or jury

Founder · Former DUI Prosecutor
Rocco prosecuted over 1,000 DUI cases for the Clark County DA before switching sides. He knows which files prosecutors are afraid of — because he used to inherit them — and he builds every defense to become one.
He's certified on the same breath-testing equipment Metro uses, trained in NHTSA field sobriety administration, and on a first-name basis with every DUI courtroom in the valley.
Recent Outcomes
Cases that didn't stick.
Dash-cam showed no traffic violation before the stop. Suppression granted; state dismissed rather than appeal.
Jury trial. Vial fermentation testimony plus a 90-minute draw delay created doubt the state couldn't close.
Skipped observation period made the breath number vulnerable. Client kept her license — and her nursing credential.
Illustrative results. Every case turns on its own facts; prior outcomes do not guarantee similar results.
