Not All DUI Attorneys Cost the Same
Each DUI attorney charges what he or she has determined is an appropriate fee for the level of his or her services. Don’t hesitate to ask a lawyer what it will cost to represent you. Las Vegas DUI attorney Paul Adras has many years of experience in Nevada DUI defense. He has the knowledge and experience to handle all the issues in your case – both complex and standard issues - to ensure that you receive excellent legal representation.
Your DUI attorney is the one person in the court room who is on your side, unconditionally. You need to feel comfortable with your DUI attorney. You have to feel like your attorney listens to you and understands your concerns and goals. Additionally, you have to feel like you can trust the advice and counsel your DUI attorney provides to you.
Las Vegas DUI and Auto Insurance
A Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas DUI conviction can cause your Nevada car insurance rates to increase dramatically. If you have been cited for a DUI, your insurance premiums may double, and in some cases, it could even triple if your car insurance carrier finds out. Your insurance could even be canceled.
When you are convicted of a DUI, you become a risk to all car insurance companies. If you previously had a "preferred driver" policy, which is an insurance policy that will have much lower insurance premiums than high-risk drivers, your insurance rates will most likely go up and you will lose your preferred status. Your rates will increase because your car insurance carrier will consider you a financial risk. If your Nevada carrier underwrites a car insurance policy for you, it may have to pay out a large sum of money if you have a car accident that causes substantial damage or causes bodily harm to someone.
Las Vegas DUI attorney Paul Adras can help you negotiate a lower fine (or in some cases no fine) and fewer or no points on your driving record. If your case must go to trial, we have the knowledge and experience necessary to give you the best possible chance to beat your traffic, speeding, or DUI ticket.

The Clark County Coroner's DUI Program is a court-ordered class designed for adults who have been arrested for a DUI offense. The program is designed to deter criminal offenders by educating them about the finality of driving while impaired.
The program starts in a class-room setting where attendees learn about the responsibilities of the Coroner and Medical Examiner's Office and review local cases of DUI fatalities. No one will see an autopsy, but attendees will get a tour of the Coroner's office.
The cost to attend the DUI program is $150
