I went to a local casino pool and drank a little too much. When I got a little rowdy a security guard came over and told me to calm down. I told the guard that they were out of line and that I was not causing any trouble, then out of the blue the guard hit me on the head with their night stick. Th...e guard then said that I struck her. I was arrested for battery. I hired another attorney and I waited months and nothing got resolved. He told me that it would get dismissed and nothing happened. I then met James Dean and told him about my situation. James spoke to the assistant DA who was handling the case and worked out a deal to get the charges dismissed. He could not have done a better job and I am so thankful that I met him. Since then, I have referred a number of my friends to James and they all agree with me that he is the very best!!

You should know that I've know Mr. Leavitt for more than a decade. Unfortunately, for me, I've got some major anger "issues" and I get into legal trouble more often than I care to admit. Mr. Leavitt has been assisting me with my legal problems for more than a decade. I would NEVER consider hiring ...another Las Vegas criminal defense attorney and I'll tell you why. If you want a slick, weasily attorney - the type of lawyer that gives lawyers a bad name Mr. Leavitt is definitely NOT your lawyer. Mr. Leavitt is completely honest and professional. And most importantly, he will defend you looking over every piece of evidence and talking to every witness. You know those attack dogs that are trained to never let go of a person they catch until their owner arrives? That is the kind of energy Mr. Leavitt uses in defending cases. Mr. Leavitt is not a perfect lawyer, but he is EXTREMELY good. At times he can get busy, and then he might take a day or two to get back to me on a matter. And there are probably smarter lawyers. I might not hire Mr. Leavitt if I had an very complicated civil legal case that had a number of thorny legal issues. But, Mr. Leavitt only does criminal cases and he he has the exact skills necessary to handle this type of legal work. The reason I'd only ever use Mr. Leavitt for criminal cases is because he is a GREAT people person! He gets along well with everybody and he is extremely friendly. EVERYBODY likes, trusts and rspects James. These skills are essential to have to be a good defense attorney. I can tell that police, prosecutors and judges ALL like and respect James. And James know EVERYBODY in the criminal world in Vegas. That's because he has been practicing for a number of years. As you probably know most criminal cases are "settled' in a negotiation. James negotiates better deals for me than other lawyers. Simply put - because prosecutors and judges like and respect James he gets lighter sentences and penalties for hisclients. I have two pieces of advice for your: 1) Try to stay out of legal trouble, 2) If you do get in legal trouble call James Leavitt before calling any other lawyer.

My friends and I went to a dance club and I tried ecstasy for the first time. I was only 17. We went to a gas station at 2:00 am to get food and the police figured out we were underaged. We were going to be given a curfew violation but the police could tell we were whacked out on drugs. They let me c...all my mother. She was able to find Mr. Leavitt at 2:00 in the morning and had him come to the gas station. Amazingly, Mr. Leavitt knew the officer and after a long talk the officer only gave me a warning. I was sure I was going to be charged with a felony. Thank you Mr. Leavitt. All my friends now have your number.
