DUI defense in Nevada and California: the criminal case, the DMV case that runs beside it, and what a conviction in one state does in the other.

The default rule in this country is that the government leaves you alone. A stop, a detention, a search, an arrest, a breath test, a blood draw: each one is a separate intrusion, and each has to be justified before the next one counts. In court the prosecution has to prove every element of the charge beyond a reasonable doubt. Nobody has to prove innocence.
Most of what changes the outcome of a case is found by taking the government’s account apart in that order, in the video and the records, in the first weeks.
Each court has its own calendar, its own local rules, and its own way of handling remote appearances. These pages cover the courts in and around Tahoe and Douglas County.
What happens after an arrest, what to do in the first few days, handling a case from out of town, and how hiring works.
