NEVADACRIMINAL LAW

Misdemeanor vs. Felony

Nevada classifies crimes as either misdemeanors (punishable by up to 6 months in county jail and/or fines) or felonies (punishable by 1 year or more in state prison). Felonies are further divided into categories A through E, with Category A being the most serious.

The classification of your charge significantly impacts potential penalties, so understanding the difference is crucial to your defense strategy.

See Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 193 for criminal procedure and sentencing guidelines.

Record Sealing

Nevada allows certain criminal records to be sealed, meaning they won't appear on background checks. The waiting period depends on the offense:

  • Dismissals: Immediately eligible
  • Misdemeanors: 1-2 years after case closure
  • Gross Misdemeanors: 2 years after case closure
  • Category E Felonies: 2 years after case closure
  • Category A Felonies & Violent Crimes: 10 years (some never eligible)

Learn about record sealing under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 179 to understand your options for clearing your record.

Plea Bargaining

Most criminal cases in Nevada are resolved through plea agreements rather than trials. An experienced attorney can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges, minimize penalties, or secure alternative sentencing options like diversion programs or probation. However, we're always prepared to take your case to trial if a fair plea agreement cannot be reached.

For detailed information on plea agreements and sentencing, consult Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 174 which governs criminal procedure in Nevada courts.
