Understanding Nevada's Federal Court System

Nevada falls under the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. The primary federal courthouses are located in Las Vegas and Reno.

These federal courts handle some of the most complex criminal cases in the region. Federal prosecutors in Nevada are among the most aggressive in the nation – they don't file charges unless they believe they can secure a conviction. Unlike state courts, federal courts operate under different rules, procedures, and sentencing guidelines that can be far more severe.

Our attorneys have appeared countless times in Nevada's federal courthouses, building relationships and earning respect from federal judges and prosecutors alike. We know how the federal system works in Nevada because we've been working within it for decades, securing victories when others thought cases were hopeless.

Immediate Steps When Facing Federal Investigation in Nevada

Step 1: Exercise Your Right to Remain Silent

Do not speak to federal agents without an attorney present. Federal agents in Nevada are trained interrogators who use sophisticated psychological techniques to obtain admissions. Even innocent statements can be twisted and used against you later in federal court.

Step 2: Contact Experienced Nevada Federal Defense Attorneys Immediately

Federal investigations in Nevada move quickly, and critical evidence can be lost if you don't act immediately. Every day you wait is a day the prosecution gains advantages. Our attorneys can begin protecting your rights immediately and may be able to intervene before charges are filed.

Step 3: Preserve Potential Evidence

Do not destroy any documents, delete any electronic files, or alter any potential evidence. Federal obstruction of justice charges in Nevada can add years to any sentence. Our attorneys will guide you through proper evidence preservation while protecting your constitutional rights.

Step 4: Avoid Discussing Your Case

Do not discuss your case with anyone except your attorneys. Federal agents often monitor phone calls, emails, and social media accounts of investigation targets in Nevada. Conversations with family members, friends, or business associates can be used against you in federal court.
