Traffic Ticket help -- Quick, Cheap, and Easy

You can get traffic citations in Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, Clark County, Boulder City, and Federal Jurisdiction, such as Lake Mead, Red Rock, and Mt. Charleston.

When a the police gives you a traffic citation  and you plead guilty to the traffic violation by simply paying it, not only do you pay your fine, and attend traffic school, but you have the following additional punishments to endure related to pleading guilty to a traffic citation.  

•          Multiple convictions for traffic violations probably will result in a driver’s license suspension or license revocation. In Nevada, if you are convicted of driving with a suspended license, you may 
be restricted from getting a new license for a full year.

•       Each conviction for a moving violation probably will raise your insurance rates. 

•          If you have a commercial driver’s license (CDL), you may lose your license and the ability to earn a living.  

•          If you were involved in an automobile accident, and the police issued you a traffic ticket, and you are subsequently sued civilly for the accident, the conviction may be used in the civil lawsuit to show that you were negligent per se.

•          If you take care of the traffic ticket by yourself, you will probably be forced to take at least one day off from work to go to court to resolve the traffic ticket. 

As a result of a simple speeding ticket, you will likely pay fines, court administrative fees, increased insurance costs, and attend traffic school. Furthermore, you could suffer possible suspension or revocation of you driver’s license. If your Nevada license is suspended, you will not be able to obtain a license in any other State until the Nevada suspension is completed. On top of this, you will need to miss a whole day’s pay from work just to go to court. You are not alone in not knowing this.  Few Las Vegans understand the traffic citation process and that a traffic violation is a crime which you will have to plead guilty, not guilty, or no contest to.

Las Vegas Termination of Parental Rights Clear and Convincing

The Nevada Supreme Court ruled in April 2012 that a the lower Nevada district court must make express findings of fact in its written order, or on the record, when determining whether to grant or deny a petition to terminate a parent’s parental rights.  

The court stated:

A petitioner in termination proceedings has the burden to prove by clear and convincing evidence that termination is in the child’s best interest and that parental fault exists.  When a district court fails to make any findings concerning this standard of proof in its order or on the record, this court is unable to determine on appeal whether substantial evidence supports the district court’s ruling.  In the present case, neither the district court’s order nor the record contains findings of fact to support the district court’s conclusions, and thus, we reverse the order terminating appellant’s parental rights and remand this matter to the district court to enter its findings.  

 In re Parental Rights as to C.C.A., 128 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 15 April 5, 2012 

In this case, the family trial court had a two day evidentiary hearing and then failed to either give an oral ruling or a written ruling that explained the findings of facts and conclusions of law to warrant the termination of parental rights.  

Because even judges make mistakes in rendering rulings, it is important to have an attentive family law attorney represent you especially when your fundamental parental rights are at risk.

REQUIRED DISCLAIMER

The information about termination of parental rights contained on this page is not intended to be legal advice about termination of parental rights.  Your termination of parental rights matter should always be evaluated by a Las Vegas family lawyer.  You should treat termination of parental rights with the seriousness it requires.  Just as you would not likely conduct surgery on yourself, you should not represent yourself in court regarding your termination of parental rights matter.  At the very least, consult with a local attorney—multiple times if necessary if you insist upon representing yourself.

Crosswalk paint won't stop a dangerous driver...

A 19 year old woman was just killed by a 26 year old man in Henderson, Nevada.  The woman was walking across a crosswalk on Boulder Highway and Corn Street when the man, driving on a revoked driver’s license, struck and killed her according to the August 18, 2012 Las Vegas Review Journal. 

Following the fatal accident, "Henderson police arrested Ricky J. Bonilla, 26, of Las Vegas, on a charge of driving with a revoked license, which was revoked for a previous conviction of driving while intoxicated."

This news report tells us several things, including that crosswalk paint will not stop inattentive driving from killing someone.  It also tells us that drivers are driving when they should not be and frequently fail to yield to pedestrians and bicyclists.  One question we are left with is whether the driver had insurance or assets sufficient to pay the woman's family for her wrongful death?  The answer is, probably not. Another question is whether this man will be punished appropriately for killing someone while driving on a revoked license and ignoring a crosswalk?

According to the article, this was the 13th automobile fatality in Henderson so far this year, making it on average of more than one per month.  Henderson police officers will probably be on heightened watch for people violating pedestrian right of way laws as well as drivers driving on revoked licenses.  Be on notice.

If you have been charged or arrested with violating the law, contact a criminal defense attorney immediately.

Remember, for misdemeanor crimes, you will not get a court appointed public defender.  If you want a criminal defense attorney to represent your interests, you will have to hire one in private practice. 

Immigrant in Trouble, will you be Deported?

If you are an immigrant to the United States and in trouble with the law in Las Vegas or Henderson, you need to contact a Las Vegas criminal defense attorney immediately.  DO NOT TRUST A PUBLIC DEFENDER when you have been charged with a crime to inform you of your rights regarding how the United States will treat you after you have been charged for a municipal or State crime.

Your right to remain in the United States can be greatly affected when you are charged with a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony.  You should have a criminal defense attorney in Las Vegas review your charges to determine whether they could result in your deportation. 

Your criminal defense attorney has a duty to tell you whether your crime could result in deportation.  According to the United States Supreme Court, when the law is unambiguous, attorneys must advise their criminal clients that deportation "will" result from a conviction. Furthermore, when the immigration consequences of a conviction are unclear or uncertain, attorneys must advise that deportation "may" result. Finally, attorneys must give their clients some advice about deportation—counsel cannot remain silent about immigration. Padilla v. Kentucky, 130 S. Ct. 1473 (2010).

So, whether you are visiting the United States, here on a visa or Green Card, or are a permanent resident, you should always consult with a private criminal defense attorney when you are arrested or charged with a crime in Las Vegas or Henderson.
