At The Las Vegas Ticket Attorney Law Office, we’re proud of our hard work and customer service. We’d like to share with you what one of our clients recently posted on a social media outlet, as well as sent to our website. Thank you, Kate, for your feedback! * So grateful to the Las Vegas Ticket Attorney office. My boyfriend had two moving violations from when we were visiting Las Vegas last spring and one of them had gone into warrant. Mark, Jenny, and Stephanie all helped us through the process. They were so on top of everything every step of the way. We really appreciate the follow-up phone calls during the times we requested. My boyfriend was nervous about trusting a Vegas Law Office way from out in NYC where we live, but it all came together without any blips. Thanks guys!! Kate M. * To read more client reviews, click...

Last Wednesday, a Las Vegas Municipal Court Judge declined to rule on the constitutionality of cash collection and courtroom practices which have been called money-hungry. State lawmakers, city employees, former judges, and countless defendants have been talking negatively about several judges for months, largely due to their approach to misdemeanor warrants. Critics say these judges prioritize cash payments above public safety and pressure the court marshals to take credit card payments instead of locking up offenders… even the violent ones. Related to this, Eric Siegler, a Las Vegas paralegal, accused a traffic commissioner of attempting to force him to pay down $450 in fines before his case could be heard by a judge. As well, courts have been accused of levying unconstitutional fines and extracting hefty fees from poorer defendants. What can be done? Advocates are still fighting to right this disturbing wrong. We’ll keep you updated. In the meantime, if you have a Traffic Ticket in Las Vegas, an unpaid Warrant, or other looming offense, call our Law Office today for a Free Consultation at (702) 382-2000.

Don’t you wish it was that easy? A sign warned us all so we had time to slow back down to the speed limit… Such is not reality here in the Las Vegas Valley (or, perhaps, anywhere on earth!) And one particular stretch of highway has been flooded with cop cars as of recently. Ever drive the West stretch of 215 from Charleston down towards Russell? If you are ever heading this way, BEWARE. This past Sunday afternoon there were three cop cars poised to catch speeders within a few miles of each other. And that is not far from the norm on that particular area of the 215; oftentimes there are at least one or two cop cars under the bridges, waiting for speed limit offenders. Now, we are not condoning speeding here… but perhaps it seems a bit harsh to pull over leisure Sunday afternoon drivers who may be going 5-10 over the limit while heading home from church, Trader Joe’s, or to visit family or friends. One way or another, Las Vegas police will be the first to tell you: the law is the law. So, if you happen to have a Las Vegas Speeding Ticket you need taken care of (No points, No School, No Court, No Insurance hike) call us today at (702) 382-2000. We offer a simple ‘fix by phone’ service so your ticket will be cleared up in no...

As per the Nevada DMV website, here is a quick refresher on some of the major Driving-Related Safety Laws. Headlights Headlights must be used from 30 minutes after sunset until 30 minutes before sunrise, and whenever conditions make it impossible to see clearly at least 1,000 feet ahead.High beams should not be used within 500 feet of approaching traffic, or 300 feet of trailing traffic.Seat BeltsWith the exception of those under 6 years old, anyone riding in a motor vehicle must wear a safety belt, if the vehicle is required to have safety belts. Vehicles built in 1968 and newer must be equipped with lap belts. Vehicles manufactured in 1970 and newer must be equipped with lap belts and shoulder belts for the front seats. Child Car Seat Laws Children who are younger than six or weigh less than 60 pounds must ride in an approved safety restraint system. Children are generally safest riding in the back seat. In fact, with vehicles containing front seat passenger air bags, infants should always ride in the back seat. If you don’t properly restrain child passengers, you can be fined, forced to perform community service, and have your license suspended. Cell Phones and Texting Texting, accessing the Internet and hand-held cell phone use while driving are illegal throughout the state. Exceptions to this law include: Use of a hands-free headset Any person reporting a medical emergency, a safety hazard or criminal activity Drivers using a voice-operated navigation system affixed to the vehicle Drivers using citizen band or other two-way radios that require a license and have a separate, handheld microphone Utility workers...

At The Las Vegas Ticket Attorney Law Office, we’re proud of our hard work and customer service. We’d like to share with you what one of our clients recently posted on a social media outlet, as well as sent to our website. Thank you, Krista, for your feedback! * Awesome place to take care of traffic tickets. I’m so happy I found Mark Coburn’s LV Ticket Attorney Office. He has taken care of my speeding tickets twice so far, and both times have been good experiences. Everyone in the office is very professional and good at communicating with you about your case—and you get a letter in the mail once all is said and done, confirming your ticket case was successfully resolved. I highly recommend this attorney. There are some other places where you pay a $50 flat fee to have them take care of your tickets but then you still need to go to traffic school. Not with Mark Coburn. I got out of traffic school too, in addition to no points on my license. Totally worth it! Krista P. * To read more client reviews, click...
