DUI Court in Nevada
Las Vegas Criminal Defense Attorneys
If you've been arrested for violating "driving under the influence" law in Las Vegas, the first thing your attorney should try to do is to get your case dismissed or reduced to a lesser charge. But if the prosecutor refuses to budge and you don't want to risk a guilty verdict at trial, there may be an option that allows you to avoid incarceration - Nevada DUI Court.
Nevada DUI Court is a diversion program that allows people who plead to a DUI to enter an intensive rehabilitation program in lieu of a lengthy jail or prison sentence. It requires frequent status checks, counseling sessions, house arrest and a host of other regulations, but upon successful completion your charge might be reduced to a lesser offense.
Most Nevada judicial districts offer two types of DUI Court depending on whether your DUI charge was for a misdemeanor or felony. Click on the links below to learn more:
- Felony DUI Court (also called Serious Offenders Program in Clark County), if you're facing your third DUI in seven years, or
- Misdemeanor DUI Court (also called Moderate Offenders Program in Clark County), if you're facing your first or second DUI
