Criminal Defense

If you have been charged with a crime, the toll can be overwhelming. From fines, loss of employment, trials, and potential jail sentences; criminal cases are among the most emotionally overwhelming situations for a person to bear. Without expert representation, the effects of criminal prosecution or a criminal record can have long term consequences.

The fact is, having an experienced criminal defense attorney on your side from the early stages of a criminal case can often make a big difference in the ultimate outcome. Too many attorneys handle criminal cases only rarely, and are still practicing 20th century trial techniques in front of 21st century juries. At Wheeler, Montgomery, Sleight & Boyd we pride ourselves on the level of experience and results of our attorneys. In 2004, our attorneys handled over 600 criminal cases for clients in Clark County.
