DMV license hearing (7-day deadline): A DUI arrest triggers two separate proceedings — the criminal case and the DMV administrative action. Tony can request your DMV hearing within the 7-day window and fight to preserve your driving privilege.

DUI & DWI Law in Las Vegas — What You Need to Know

Nevada's legal system has its own procedures, deadlines, and standards that differ from other states. For dui & dwi cases in Clark County, the court of record is typically the Clark County District Court for felonies and civil matters over $15,000, or the Las Vegas Justice Court for misdemeanors and small claims. Choosing a Las Vegas dui & dwi attorney who regularly appears in these specific courts — and who knows the local culture and preferences — can make a meaningful difference in your outcome.

Nevada law imposes strict deadlines on most legal matters. Personal injury claims must generally be filed within two years under NRS 11.190; DUI-related license suspensions trigger an immediate seven-day clock to request a DMV hearing; divorce filings require six weeks of Nevada residency under NRS 125.020. Missing these windows can permanently bar your legal remedies. Tony's 29 years of Nevada practice means clients get timely guidance on all applicable deadlines from the first consultation.

What to Expect Working with Tony Sgro

Most Nevada attorneys in dui & dwi offer a free initial consultation.

See our guide on Questions to Ask a DUI Attorney for the exact questions you should ask any attorney before you hire them.

Fee structures in Nevada vary by practice area. For personal injury and wrongful death cases, contingency fees typically range from 33% to 40% of the recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions — DUI & DWI in Nevada

What happens at a Nevada DUI first offense?

A first-offense DUI in Nevada (NRS 484C.110) typically results in a fine of $400–$1,000, 24–96 hours of community service or 2 days in jail, Nevada DUI school, and a 90-day license revocation. A DUI attorney like Tony can challenge the stop, the breathalyzer calibration, and the officer's conduct to potentially reduce or dismiss charges.

Should I take the breathalyzer in Nevada?

Nevada has an implied consent law (NRS 484C.160). Refusing a breathalyzer after a lawful DUI stop results in an automatic one-year license revocation — separate from any criminal penalties. An attorney can advise you on how implied consent applies to your specific situation.

How long does a DUI stay on my record in Nevada?

In Nevada, DUI convictions stay on your criminal record permanently. However, a DUI may be sealable after 7 years under NRS 179.245 if you have no prior felonies. An attorney can assess your eligibility for record sealing.

Can I get a DUI reduced to a lesser charge in Nevada?

Yes — in some cases, Nevada DUI charges can be reduced to 'reckless driving' (sometimes called a 'dry reckless'), which carries lower penalties and is easier to expunge. This typically requires a strong defense, lack of prior DUIs, and no injuries. An experienced Las Vegas DUI attorney can evaluate whether a plea reduction is available in your case.
