Paradise Criminal Defense Lawyer

Defending Against Criminal Charges in Nevada

Paradise is one of Clark County’s unincorporated towns and census-designated places, lying near the southern end of the Las Vegas—Henderson—Paradise Metropolitan Area. As of 2017, at least 231,858 people live in this area.

Unknown to tourists, the area that occupies the famous Las Vegas Strip actually overlaps most of Paradise itself. The town is actually home to a good deal of tourist trappings on its own, but many of these locations were given the generic ‘Las Vegas’ address instead.

With such a tourist-heavy location, crime can be quite the problem. Paradise is said to have a 71% higher crime average than most other urban locations across the United States, with a 1-in-22 chance of being a victim. These numbers can be more worrying for you if you become accused of a crime in Paradise.

In such situations, you should seek out the assistance of an experienced criminal defense lawyer at Goodman Law Group to help you deal with any Paradise crime charges you may face.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Do If I Am Arrested in Nevada?

If you find yourself arrested in Paradise, NV, it's crucial to maintain your composure and remember that you have rights. First and foremost, remain silent until your lawyer is present to prevent inadvertently incriminating yourself. Ask for legal representation immediately by contacting a criminal defense attorney. At Goodman Law Group, we provide swift and effective legal counsel to ensure that your rights are protected from the outset. Understanding the charges laid against you and attending scheduled court dates are essential steps in managing your case effectively.

How Can Goodman Law Group Help with My DUI Charge?

Facing a DUI charge can be intimidating, but Goodman Law Group offers comprehensive support to challenge such allegations. We meticulously examine all aspects of the arrest to identify procedural mistakes or evidence handling errors. Our approach includes reviewing the legitimacy of the stop and the accuracy of field sobriety tests. We leverage our understanding of Nevada's DUI laws to negotiate alternative resolutions or dismissals where appropriate, ensuring that your case is managed with the utmost diligence and strategic insight.

Why Is Local Experience Important in a Criminal Defense Attorney?

Local experience can be a crucial factor when selecting a criminal defense attorney because of the specific procedural and cultural nuances involved. Attorneys with local experience, such as those at Goodman Law Group, possess a familiarity with nearby courts, judges, and the local legal climate, which can lead to more tailored and effective defense strategies. This familiarity helps anticipate challenges and navigate the local judicial system efficiently, which significantly benefits your case. Furthermore, a local attorney's established relationships with court staff and prosecutors can foster more productive negotiations.

What are My Rights After I Have Been Arrested?

After you have been arrested, you have necessary constitutional rights that protect you throughout the legal process. First, you have the right to stay silent, meaning you do not have to answer any questions from the police or prosecutors. You can explicitly say that you are invoking your right to remain silent and refuse to speak without a lawyer present. You also have the right to an attorney, and if you cannot afford one, the court is required to provide you with a public defender. You must be informed of the specific charges against you, typically during your arraignment, when you will have the opportunity to enter a plea.

In many states, you have the right to make at least one phone call after your arrest, often to a lawyer or family member. You have the right to a speedy and fair trial, which means you cannot be held indefinitely without being charged and brought before a court. Law enforcement generally needs a search warrant or probable cause to conduct searches, and any evidence obtained unlawfully may be excluded from trial. In most cases, you have the right to reasonable bail unless you are considered a flight risk or a danger to the community. Lastly, you are protected from being forced to incriminate yourself, including being compelled to confess.

It’s essential to remain calm, clearly assert your rights by stating that you wish to remain silent and request a lawyer, and avoid resisting arrest. You could challenge the legality of your arrest or the evidence in court later. If you want, I can help you understand what comes next or connect you with a criminal defense attorney in your area.

"Above and beyond my expectations."
Being faced with such a difficult situation was overwhelming, but your strategic approach and guidance provided both comfort and hope. Your commitment to my daughters case went above and beyond my expectations, and I am truly thankful for all the hard work you put into securing my daughters release from jail.
Your legal acumen and advocacy skills are truly remarkable, and I feel fortunate to have had you and Ross by my daughters side throughout this ordeal. Your guidance not only helped my daughter regain her freedom but also provided me with a better understanding of the legal process.

"You don't find lawyers like him every day."
If someone wants competence, experience, straightforwardness, and results along with a great personality then they need Ross Goodman. He's the only attorney I would recommend. The quality I received with Ross cannot be overstated. He's the best!

- Rianna W.
"Don't hesitate, hire him immediately!"
I had met with Ross in his office and within three seconds I knew I had to hire him. His right hand Tiffanie was professional and friendly and kept me informed of all court dates, which Ross appeared twice on my behalf without me even having to show up. I

"His professional and knowledge of Las Vegas law is impeccable."
Ross Goodman has got to be the best attorney in the Las Vegas area. When we needed a lawyer to represent our son, Ross appeared in court on his behalf and had his DUI reduced to reckless driving. His professional and knowledge of Las Vegas law is impeccable. I would recommend Ross to anyone who want excellent representation.

- Avis A.
"I highly recommend him."
There's not enough stars for Ross Goodman. I highly recommend him for all your legal needs. I am a very satisfied client, and for once in my life I feel that there is a good lawyer that actually fights for justice and gets the job done instead of just making deals.

"Goodman is a life saver"
Goodman is a life saver! I was in a seemingly hopeless situation and couldn’t have been treated any better by Ross and Tiffanie. He is the absolute best and is clearly respected in the courtroom. He was personally vested in my case and got me the best result possible. Thank you Ross!!!

- Brock
"I switched and hired Mr. Goodman and could not have been more impressed with the outcome. You do get what you pay for."
I met with Mr. Goodman who answered all my questions and knew his stuff. I decided to hire a less expensive attorney but was not happy with the progress ended up being a waste of money with the other guy. I switched and hired Mr. Goodman and could not have been more impressed with the outcome. You do get what you pay for. I should have gone with my gut reaction at the beginning that would have saved me anxiety, time, and money. Don’t make the same mistake.
