Being charged with a criminal offense is a serious matter
that can affect your life in ways you may not even anticipate. If you have been
charged with a crime, or you are under criminal investigation, you should
discuss your case with a knowledgeable and experienced trial attorney as soon as
possible. There are important time considerations in all criminal cases.
One unwanted touch can result in many criminal charges. A
simple mistake may result in felony charges. The person charged with assault may
be the victim of false accusations.
Drug charges can have a serious effect on your life and the
lives of family and friends around you. Convictions for drug crimes will tarnish
your record and cost you heavily in fines and lawyer fees. You may even spend
time in jail for some drug crimes. A drug conviction for possessing or selling
an illegal substance can adversely affect your life, your job and your future.
It is vital that you have a competent legal defense team defense on your side to
achieve the best possible results.

The Playa Defense Team of lawyers understand
Nevada drunk driving law and know how to fight DUI charges. We have obtained
dismissals and not-guilty verdicts in dozens of
DUI cases where our client failed the breathalyzer test. If you have refused
a breath test, our work as DUI defense attorneys is that much easier. We have
lost very few DUI cases when our client refused the breathalyzer test and there
was no accident.
We handle Sex Offense cases:
The Playa Defense Fund represents
sexually based crimes including sexual assault, solicitation, sexual abuse, rape,
solicitation of a minor, child pornography, criminal sexual abuse, Internet
sexual solicitation, indecent exposure, pandering, prostitution, statutory rape,
enticement or solicitation of a minor, possession of child pornography, and
aggravated sexual battery.
In addition to prison time, people who are convicted of sex crimes often face
lifetime registration as a sex offender. Confronted with the prospect of a
lengthy prison sentence and a lifetime of monitoring and registration, you
cannot afford to plead guilty to a sex crime. You need an attorney who is
willing to fight for you.
We will defend your rights
vigorously to make sure the prosecution doesn’t take liberties with evidence,
testimony, or witnesses.

Fee Schedule:
The Playa Defense Fund's contingent fee is 33
1/3% if settlement is reached prior to filing suit and 40% after suit is filed.
Case expenses such as filing fees paid to the courts, jury fees, court reporter
fees, copies of depositions, cost of obtaining medical records, expert fees
including fees to medical doctors, and any other cost necessary to properly
prosecute your claim are paid for by the law firm and taken from the net amount
of the client’s share of the settlement. Money advances to clients, will also be
taken from the net amount of the client’s share of the settlement.
Long distance calls, copying documents in our office (if the job is so large
that we have to hire a copying company the expense will be taken from the final
recovery) or other in office expenses are not part of the attorney fees or
expenses and are included at no charge. The expenses that come out of the
settlement or judgment are those that we must pay to third parties to perform
work on your case.
We will do everything necessary to get you the best possible result in your
claim and will not overspend on expenses. Spending money on your case is
evidence that we are serious about representing you and confidence in your
claim.
If there is no recovery or if the recovery is insufficient to pay the expenses
or loans you have no duty to repay un-recouped expenses or loans. We have enough
faith in your case to put our money on the line for you.
