Las Vegas Misdemeanor & Gross Misdemeanor Defense
Even a misdemeanor conviction in Nevada can leave a permanent mark on your record.
Gross misdemeanors carry heavier penalties, including up to a year in jail. Attorney Kenneth G. Frizzell III has over 30 years of courtroom experience defending clients against a full range of misdemeanor charges in Las Vegas.
Common Misdemeanor Charges
Misdemeanors in Nevada may seem minor, but they can still result in fines, probation, and a permanent record. Common examples include petty theft, simple battery, trespassing, and disorderly conduct. Ken helps clients minimize or avoid penalties, often negotiating for dismissals or reduced charges.
Gross Misdemeanors
Gross misdemeanors are more serious than standard misdemeanors, with penalties of up to one year in jail and heavy fines. Offenses include carrying a concealed weapon without a permit or repeat DUI offenses. Ken uses his decades of courtroom experience to fight these charges and protect his clients’ futures.
Defense Strategies
Every case is different, but many misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor charges can be challenged on procedural grounds. Ken carefully reviews police reports, examines whether rights were violated, and highlights weak evidence to build an aggressive defense.
