Personal Injury & Criminal Defense Lawyer Serving Henderson

15–25 minutes via I-515/US-95 from our office~350,000 (2024 Census estimate) residents

Henderson is Nevada's second-largest city — roughly 350,000 people spread across Green Valley, Anthem, Inspirada, Lake Las Vegas, and the Water Street downtown district. Our office sits on S. Maryland Parkway just east of downtown Las Vegas, a straight 15–25 minute run up I-515/US-95 from central Henderson. We've handled cases for Henderson clients for years, and because the city runs its own police department, its own courts, and its own jail, treating Henderson like just another Las Vegas suburb is a mistake we never make.

The injury picture in Henderson is dominated by one road: Boulder Highway, historically the deadliest road for pedestrians in Nevada — it has claimed more lives than any other road in the state. The city is spending over $120 million on the 7.5-mile "Reimagine Boulder Highway" rebuild, with construction running through roughly July 2027, but the crashes haven't stopped: a pedestrian was killed near Barrett Street and Sunset Road in March 2026, and a hit-and-run in a crosswalk at Foster Avenue killed another in April 2025. Add the commuter loads on I-515 and the 215, and Henderson generates serious collision cases year-round.

On the criminal side, Henderson is its own world. Henderson Police book arrestees into the Henderson Detention Center at 18 E. Basic Road — not CCDC. Misdemeanors and traffic cases charged inside city limits go to Henderson Municipal Court, while township cases — including the arraignment-through-preliminary-hearing stage of felonies — run through Henderson Justice Court. Both courts share the Henderson Justice Facility at 243 S. Water Street. Knowing which building, which prosecutor, and which judge your case actually lands in front of is the difference between a plan and a guess.
