Las Vegas criminal defense lawyer

Las Vegas criminal cases are processed through specific courts with specific judges, prosecutors, and institutional tendencies. A DUI arrest on the Strip goes through Las Vegas Justice Court. A felony drug case ends up in the Eighth Judicial District Court. Each court has its own calendar, its own plea policies, and its own unwritten rules about how cases move.

Attorney Michael Mee practices in these courts regularly. He knows how plea negotiations usually run in each one and how sentencing hearings are handled. He knows how the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department writes its reports and where officers tend to cut corners on probable cause, Miranda warnings, and search-and-seizure procedures.

Reading the statute tells you what the state has to prove. Standing in the courtroom tells you how your case is likely to move.

Most criminal defense firms in Las Vegas bill by the hour. That means you are paying every time your lawyer reads an email, makes a phone call, or drives to the courthouse. You never know what the final bill will look like, and every conversation with your own attorney costs money.

Liberators Criminal Defense uses flat fees. The fee is quoted at the start and the scope is defined in writing. The fee covers court appearances, motions, and negotiations within that scope, and does not change unless the scope of the case changes and you agree to it. Misdemeanors start at $750 down; DUI and domestic battery at $1,000 down. Payment plans are available on every case.

You should not have to worry about whether calling your lawyer is going to cost you another $300.

Michael Mee is a criminal defense attorney licensed in Nevada. He founded Liberators Criminal Defense to do one thing: defend people charged with crimes in Clark County. He does not handle family law, personal injury, bankruptcy, or immigration. Criminal defense is the entire practice.

He appears in Las Vegas Justice Court, the Eighth Judicial District Court, Henderson Municipal Court, and North Las Vegas Justice Court. He has handled cases ranging from first-offense misdemeanor DUIs to multi-count felonies. When you hire Liberators, Michael is the attorney who appears in court, reviews the discovery, drafts the motions, and negotiates with the prosecutor.

The office is located at 1100 S. 10th Street in downtown Las Vegas, less than a mile from the Regional Justice Center where most Las Vegas criminal cases are heard.
