Practice Areas Description

- Criminal Defense

A criminal conviction can result in a criminal record that can stay with you for the rest of your life. You may have to disclose your criminal record every time you fill out an application for a job, signing a lease, sometimes even being barred from holding certain positions. Any arrest for a criminal charge should never be taken lightly, and the Attorneys at Diaz & Galt, Attorneys at Law, have one goal only, which is to build a case designed to win.

*Casino Markers
Nevada is a dazzling, heart-pumping, vacation destination. It encourages people to loosen up their inhibitions, forget their everyday routines, and enjoy the ride! Unfortunately, it also makes it easy to get carried away, particularly when it comes to gambling. Casino Markers are associated with a line of credit the casino has allowed a person to establish with them. The purpose of a marker is to allow someone to be able to play without having to carry extra cash.

*Domestic Battery
In today's economic environment, everyone is experiencing greater stress. Tempers flare. Unfortunate things happen. This doesn't mean you're a bad person, or that you should just accept the extreme consequences. A conviction will deprive you of your right to possess a firearm. For those who enjoy the status of being a legal resident, a conviction will revoke that legal status. Even the accusation of domestic battery can have a dramatic impact on divorce and child custody proceedings.

*Drug Possession
Nevada criminal law punishes drug possession very harshly. The sentencing guidelines are filled with mandatory minimums that require prison time for a conviction of a possession of a controlled substance charge. Being arrested does not indicate guilt. You have the right to an attorney who can mount a strong and skillful defense. At Diaz & Galt, Attorneys at Law, our drug possession lawyers have over 20 years of experience in the criminal justice system.

*Embezzlement
If you have been charged with embezzlement, you should contact an embezzlement lawyer immediately. Depending on the amount embezzlement, you may be faced with felony charges, which can carry severe penalties and long-lasting consequences. An embezzlement lawyer at Diaz & Galt, Attorneys at Law is ready to represent you.

*Forgery
Forgery is a serious crime in the state of Nevada. Law enforcement officers pursue cases vigorously and the law punishes them harshly. Penalties can range from fines to jail time. If you are facing a forgery charge, it is essential that you contact a forgery lawyer as soon as possible. The prosecutor and police begin to work immediately to process your case after arrest. At Diaz & Galt, Attorneys at Law, our lawyers handle forgery cases throughout the state. Our mission is to get your forgery charge reduced, thrown out, or beaten at trial.

*Marijuana Possession
While Nevada penalizes possession of marijuana less seriously than possession of other drugs, you may still face stiff penalties if convicted. If you have been charged with possession of marijuana, it is vital to contact a lawyer as soon as possible to preserve your constitutional rights. At Diaz & Galt, Attorneys at Law, our lawyers have over 20 years of experience litigating in the criminal justice system.

*Probation Violation
If you are on probation or parole, you are being permitted to remain free under certain conditions. If you have violated one or more of these conditions, you may face serious legal consequences, including jail time. Probation violation lawyers at Diaz & Galt, Attorneys at Law have represented clients for over 20 years. When dealing with these cases, our mission is to keep you out of jail and get the condition of your probation back into good standing.

*Record Sealing
Are you tired of a mistake haunting you on job, loan, housing, and college applications, license requests, and background checks? A criminal record, whether or not you were convicted or the charges were dropped, can cast a shadow over all aspects of your life. But, it doesn't have to be that way. Nevada law allows certain criminal records to be sealed. This allows you to, under most circumstances, legally answer "no" when asked if you were ever convicted or charged with a crime and the record will not appear on the majority of background checks.

*Solicitation for Prostitution
Contrary to popular belief, prostitution is not legal in Las Vegas or Reno. It is only legal in certain counties in Nevada and even then can only take place in brothels. This misconception makes arrests for solicitation frequent throughout the state. A charge of solicitation in Nevada can bring serious legal consequences, from fines to jail time.

*Trespassing
Illegal trespass can be defined as entering or refusing to leave a place where the owner does not legally invite you in. Although not a felony, trespassing can lead to other charges, some of which may be felonious. If you are facing a trespassing charge, you will need a lawyer to represent you. At Diaz & Galt, Attorneys at Law, our trespassing lawyers have handled numerous trespass cases successfully for our clients.

- DUI Defense

It is a common belief that a DUI arrest is not very serious, or worth much effort to defend. This could not be further from the truth. A DUI conviction can have serious consequences for your professional and personal lives. If you have been arrested and charged with a DUI, don't hire a cheap or inexperienced DUI attorney. Instead, call an experienced DUI lawyer at Diaz & Galt, Attorneys at Law. With over 20 years of experience in criminal justice, we have the experience to give our clients the best defense.

- Bankruptcy

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is designed for those who are trying to protect and hold onto assets, such as a house and car.

*Foreclosure Defense
Home foreclosures are now a regular part of American life. They are taking place all across the country. Nevada is no exception. Predatory and dishonest lending is responsible for much of this problem. Many mortgages are suspect, with hidden terms. Now, many homeowners are faced with losing their houses and in need of a strong home foreclosure defense.

- Workers Compensation

Workers injured on the job have the right to file a workers compensation claim for monetary assistance with the injury. It can be an overwhelming process involving different rules and regulations. The final amount of the award will be based on various factors, such as the severity of the wound and the amount of interference the employee experienced while discharging his duties. Discrepancies may arise, such as testimony that contradicts your version of the stories. This may endanger your claim.

*Catastrophic Injury
Catastrophic injuries can severely impact the injured and their family. Not only is the injured person seriously hurt as a result of the accident, but their ability to live a productive and fruitful life may have been severely compromised. Fortunately, the law allows victims of catastrophic injuries to take action if the injury was caused by negligence or recklessness.

*Mining Accident
Mining is one of the country's most dangerous occupations. Accidents are common, even though there are numerous safety regulations. In fact, negligence of these regulations is a common cause of accidents. If you have been injured in a mining accident, especially if you know or suspect negligence on the part of your employer, you need legal representation.

*Long-Term Disability
Long-term disabilities negatively impact the current and future financial situation of those who suffer from them. Thankfully, the law does provide some remedies. If you have had or are suffering from a long-term or permanent disability, it is necessary that you contact a long-term disability lawyer. You may be missing out on financial compensation legally owed to you.

*Construction Accident
The business of construction can be very dangerous. Each year, many people are seriously injured or killed at construction sites. Sometimes, these accidents are unavoidable. However, if the accidents were the result of negligence or recklessness, you may be entitled to compensation for your injury. You should immediately contact a lawyer to find out more information.

*Workplace Accident
Workplace accidents are common occurrences. In fact, there are government laws that require payment for people who suffer an injury due to a workplace accident. These payments are called worker's compensation. They specify monetary amounts that must be paid out when a workplace accident causes an injury.

*Wrongful Death
When you are dealing with the untimely death of a loved one, you may not think of contacting a wrongful death lawyer. There is a statute of limitations on bringing wrongful death suits, which means that after a certain amount of time passes, you will not be able to file suit. If you quickly contact a lawyer, you may still be able to get compensation. In addition, using current, new information makes building the case easier than would be the case with old information.
