Defending Against Felony Charges in Nevada
Henderson stands out on its own compared to Las Vegas regarding many things: urban development, entertainment, and population size, to name a few. Fortunately, it has a better record as far as crimes are concerned. Nonetheless, there are instances when serious crimes are committed in Henderson, and in many cases, it can involve people who shouldn’t be involved in the first place. For a rather extreme example, you, a relative, or a friend could be charged with committing a felony in Henderson. If you are accused of committing a felony in Henderson, it would be wise to seek the assistance of a veteran felony attorney in Henderson and Las Vegas.

Law Enforcement in Henderson
Henderson falls under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Judicial District of Clark County; as such, it shares laws and rules with Las Vegas to its northeast. Jurisdiction within the city is split between incorporated areas within the city interior and unincorporated areas in the outlying regions. The Henderson Municipal Court handles misdemeanor cases within incorporated areas. Felonies and other severe charges, meanwhile, are handled by the Henderson Justice Court. Additionally, all alleged crimes committed in Henderson’s unincorporated areas are automatically handed over to the Justice Court, regardless of severity. However, if a complaint is severe enough, the case may be transferred to the Clark County District Court.
Generally, the accused facing felony charges in Henderson are kept in Henderson Detention Center, just a short distance away from the courts, unless the accused manages to post bail. Some serious felonies do not allow the posting of bail, however. Local law enforcement offices are also located in the same general area.
