Criminal Defense Attorneys in Reno 

Our attorneys work to protect your rights from the earliest stages of your case, including any related protective order proceedings, and fight to present the full picture of what happened.

DUI Defense

A DUI arrest can happen to anyone, and the consequences (license suspension, fines, and even jail time) can affect nearly every part of your life. Whether this is your first offense or you're facing enhanced penalties, our attorneys will examine every detail of your stop, arrest, and testing procedures to identify ways to challenge the charges against you.

Felony Defense

Felony charges carry the most serious potential consequences under Nevada law, including significant prison time and long-term impacts on your civil rights and future opportunities. If you're facing a felony charge, it's critical to have experienced legal representation from the beginning of your case. Berkich Lucey Law Group is prepared to stand beside you through every stage of the criminal process, from arraignment through trial (if it comes to that).

Violent Crimes Defense

Charges involving alleged violence like assault, battery, and related offenses often hinge on witness credibility, the specific circumstances of the incident, and evidence that isn't always as clear-cut as it first appears. We will investigate the facts of your case to build a strong defense strategy that can stand up in court. 

Drug Crime Defense

Drug charges range from simple possession to trafficking allegations, and penalties vary depending on the substance and amount involved, as well as your prior record. Our attorneys will review how evidence was obtained and whether your rights were respected during a search or arrest; these facts will shape the defense options available.

Theft Crime Defense

Theft charges, including shoplifting, larceny, and related offenses, can carry consequences that go far beyond the courtroom; they can affect your employment and reputation long after the case is resolved. We work to understand the full context of your situation and pursue the best possible resolution, whether that means fighting the charge, negotiating a reduction, or seeking alternatives to a conviction.

Misdemeanor Defense

Even a misdemeanor conviction can leave you with a criminal record and fines. Many people assume a misdemeanor charge isn't worth fighting, but the right defense can make the difference between a permanent record and a fresh start. We help our clients understand their options and work toward outcomes that protect their future.

What to Do If You've Been Arrested or Charged in Reno

• Stay calm and be polite. Exercise your right to remain silent until you've spoken with an attorney.
• Do not discuss your case with police, on social media, or with anyone other than your lawyer.
• Write down everything you remember about the incident and your arrest while it's fresh.
• Contact an attorney as soon as possible. The earlier we're involved, the more options we may have to protect you.
