Las Vegas DUI Defense Attorney

Arrested for DUI in Las Vegas? You need an experienced attorney who knows the system and how to beat it.

Driving under the influence (DUI) in Nevada is a serious charge that can cost you your license, your job, and even your freedom. Whether it’s your first offense or you’re facing a felony DUI, you deserve a defense that looks beyond the arrest report and focuses on protecting your future.

At Pariente Law Firm, we defend clients in Las Vegas, Henderson, and throughout Clark County against all types of DUI charges—from first-time misdemeanors to complex felony cases.
 

Types of DUI Cases We Handle

We defend clients against all forms of impaired driving charges, including:

• First-Time DUI
• Repeat or Felony DUI
• DUI with Injury or Death
• Underage DUI
• Commercial Driver (CDL) DUI
• Prescription or Marijuana DUI
• Out-of-State Visitor DUI

Every case is different, but one thing never changes: we prepare as if we’re going to trial. That attention to detail can make the difference between a conviction and a dismissal.
 

How Pariente Law Firm Fights DUI Charges

We dig deep into the evidence, the process, and the state’s assumptions. As a former federal public defender, Michael Pariente understands how to expose flaws in the prosecution’s case, including:

• Faulty traffic stops or unlawful arrests
• Improper breath or blood testing procedures
• Violation of your constitutional rights
• Inaccurate field sobriety tests
• Misleading police reports

Our approach is built on precision and preparation. If there’s a way to challenge the evidence, we’ll find it.
 

What Happens After a DUI Arrest in Nevada

After an arrest, you face two separate processes: a criminal case and a DMV license suspension. You only have seven days to request a DMV hearing to keep your license. We handle both sides of your defense to protect your driving privileges and minimize your penalties.

Possible consequences of a DUI conviction include:

• Jail or prison time
• License suspension
• Hefty fines and court costs
• Ignition interlock device
• Mandatory DUI school and community service
• Increased insurance rates
   

Out-of-State Visitors

Las Vegas attracts millions of visitors every year, and unfortunately, DUI arrests happen to tourists, too. If you were arrested while visiting, we can often appear in court on your behalf and keep you informed every step of the way—without requiring you to return for every hearing.
