Las Vegas has had it’s fair share of traffic crashes, but as of late speeding is one of the leading causes! The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) continues to publish disturbing findings regarding speeding in Las Vegas and traffic accidents. According to NHSTA statistics from a 2009 report, “39 percent of 15 to 20-year old and 37 percent of 21 to 24-year old male drivers involved in fatal crashes were speeding.” Not only does this prove a correlation between speeding and traffic-related fatalities, but it also says quite a bit about the mentality of younger (mostly male) drivers. The NHTSA also reported, in 2009, that there were 10,591 speeding-related crashes over the course of the previous year. Preparedness of our young drivers aside, the economic cost of speeding-related accidents to our society is estimated by the NHTSA to be $40.4 billion per year. And remember, that’s not taking into account personal losses, or, even worse, the loss of human life… which bears no price tag. Speeding in Las Vegas is not something to be taken lightly, no matter what your age/sex demographic. And when you add alcohol into the mix, the situation worsens. In the same 2009 report, it was shown that 43% of fatal speeding-related crashes had drivers with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher. These NHSTA statistics are grave and show that we still do not have a handle on keeping reckless drivers off the road. While a true “accident” can happen to anyone, there is no excuse for excessive speeding or driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If you...

The Clark County Justice Court, the District court and the North Las Vegas Municipal court all have online access to their Las Vegas Court Calendar with the exception of Juvenile court cases which are not accessible on the web site – you must contact the Court directly. Henderson and Las Vegas Municipal courts require that you contact the court for information on cases and do not have links to Court Calendar information. Certain information is required in order to look up cases on line, for example to find Las Vegas Court Calendar information from The City of North Las Vegas you would need to provide the first and last name or the ticket, case or drivers license number. The Las Vegas Justice court allows you to search by defendant or attorney name, and allows you to narrow the search by court, case type, and department. There is also an option at the end of The Las Vegas Justice court that allows you to check all Justice courts in Clark County. If you have an attorney however they can check Las Vegas Court Calendar for any dates that may apply to your case. It will provide information on the time and location of hearings and the judge assigned to the court. It is important to remember depending on the court, your first appearance may only be to meet with the court’s clerk to schedule your official trial date. Then you must re-appear at a later date for your trial. So the defendant or their attorney needs to monitor the Las Vegas Court Calendar to keep up with trial dates once...

The Las Vegas Municipal Court is a division of the Las Vegas court system that handles cases involving traffic, misdemeanors and civil cases. Within this court defendants found guilty or those that plead guilty are afforded an opportunity to better their situations. This can be observed with the many court ordered programs available. Misdemeanors handled in the Las Vegas Municipal Court may result in paying a fine, but often that is not enough. Jail is a possibility, but the court may order the guilty party to perform community service. This takes that misdemeanor and turns it into something that benefits society. It may be just picking up garbage alongside highways or teaching adults how to read. Unfortunately for some people, drug activity is part of everyday life. When it comes to dealing with drug offenses, sometimes those found guilty are sent to jail. In certain cases, rehabilitation and other drug and alcohol programs are necessary. These court ordered programs are an attempt to make the likelihood of returning to a drug filled life less likely. Classes are designed to show users how to avoid triggers and live a normal day to day life. Many offenders avoid jail time by serving their time under house arrest. This is decided within the Las Vegas Municipal Court. With house arrest there is a waterproof device attached to offenders. They are allowed to walk so many feet outside of their set base. It is a punishment that restricts activity. It is not free and costs fall on the guilty party. To qualify, a judge has to make the recommendation and a working land...

I recently found myself having to deal with the North Las Vegas Municipal Court. The court has jurisdiction over traffic violations and misdemeanor offences occurring in the city limits of North Las Vegas. While on vacation in Las Vegas I received a traffic ticket and a friend of mine in Vegas recommended I check out lvticketattorney.com. After returning home I went to the website to find out my options. I thought about handling things myself online but I found out from the North Las Vegas Municipal Court that they can not respond via email to requests for information on pending cases. Since I was not in the state and had to work, it was difficult to try to get answers about my case over the phone. Not being in town there was no way I could defend myself. I didn’t want to run the risk of the issuance of a warrant for my arrest, suspension of my driver’s license, higher insurance premiums, or additional court appearances that would result from not addressing my ticket in a timely manner. Just getting the ticket was a hassle but dealing with it from across the country was doubly stressing. I also found that Most ticket companies in Las Vegas are not law offices and do not follow the formal guidelines to handle tickets properly. I really had to think carefully about choosing an attorney to represent me. After reviewing the website i found that Las Vegas Ticket attorney was a true law office that had experience dealing with the North Las Vegas Municipal Court for traffic tickets and a host of other cases. I was encouraged to hear that in most...
