North Las Vegas is one of the fastest-growing cities in Nevada — roughly 294,000 people in a working-class city that's industrializing fast, with massive warehouse and logistics growth along the I-15 North corridor and Apex, plus Nellis Air Force Base next door. Our office on S. Maryland Parkway is only 6–10 miles away, about 15–20 minutes down I-15 or Las Vegas Boulevard, and we've handled cases from Craig Road crashes to charges filed in the city's own courts.
The crash data here is blunt. Craig Road is the most crash-impacted corridor in North Las Vegas — Craig & Losee ranked the city's top crash location, and Craig & Simmons is flagged high-priority after multiple fatal and incapacitating-injury crashes, including a teenager killed there in May 2026. Craig is posted at 45 mph, but police enforcement blitzes have clocked drivers at 65–70 after a double-fatal crash. Cheyenne Avenue repeats at Civic Center, MLK, and Simmons, and Cheyenne at Las Vegas Boulevard North ranks among the valley's ten most dangerous intersections. I-15 through the city adds high-speed freeway wrecks.
North Las Vegas isn't "Las Vegas" for court purposes, and that trips people up. A ticket from North Las Vegas PD goes to North Las Vegas Municipal Court at 2332 Las Vegas Blvd. North — the same building as the city jail — while NHP and township cases go to North Las Vegas Justice Court on MLK Boulevard, not the downtown Regional Justice Center. Municipal arrestees are typically held at the city's Community Correctional Center; felony arrestees are commonly housed at CCDC. We know which door your case walks through, and we're minutes away.
