DRUG POSSESSION ATTORNEY IN HENDERSON NEVADA

VASEK LAW frequently accepts drug possession cases in Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, and Henderson, Nevada. Attorney BRIAN VASEK also serves drug possession clients in Mesquite, Laughlin, Searchlight, and Boulder City. When consulting with new clients about drug possession, some of the most frequent questions that Brian receives include the following:

• What if this is my first offense?

• How does the weight of the drugs affect the case?

• What if the drugs belonged to someone else?

• What if I was stopped illegally?

• Isn't marijuana legal in Nevada?

• How will this affect my job?

VASEK LAW can answer these questions and many more. Brian has helped countless drug possession clients in Southern Nevada. However, not every drug possession case is the same and the outcome of the case may depend upon many factors, such as where the case was filed, what judge is handling the case, what prosecuting attorney is handling the case, a person's prior criminal history, and possible defenses. A conviction for drug possession may result in consequences for some jobs, such as the revocation of some professional licenses. A conviction may also result in deportation or removal if the person is not a United States citizen. It is important to hire an experienced, knowledgeable criminal defense attorney to navigate these consequences and find weaknesses in prosecuting attorney's case. An attorney may also discover witnesses or evidence that the police missed. Attorney BRIAN VASEK is here to help and to discuss your case. He even offers FREE CONSULTATIONS.
