Amazing!!

Jennie is on her game. She is not only professional, but she truly cares about her clients. I would recommend any family member or friend who needs a criminal defense attorney in Vegas to hire her ASAP.

Most attentive and knowledgeable attorney

I reached out for help from Ms Hua when I was in a desperate situation. She not only guided me in my situation but was also very supportive. I really felt listened to and understood. Would definitely recommend to others.

Great Results! Jeannie Hua is an excellent choice.

Jeannie Hua was an excellent choice for representing my loved one. She was honest about her work and the case we presented. We utilized her services to provide representation for a loved one approaching parole. She met with me, my family, and the client (my loved one) who is incarcerated. She tra...veled the distance to meet the needs presented and was diligent in her response to answering all questions presented to her. The result of the parole hearing was great and my loved one is due to be release in a few weeks. I am very thankful for hiring Ms. Hua during this process. She is a wonderful lawyer to work with and one with great character.

extremely kind, supportive, and understanding of our family's situation

Jeannie is very professional and dedicated to her work. We felt that she put in a lot of effort into our child's case. Her fee was also extremely reasonable. She understood very well what our family was going through and was always supportive and very kind. We are very grateful for her and satisfied ...with the results that she helped to achieve.

"I spoke with Ms. Hua regarding a business taxation matter. Ms. Hua was intent on doing things the right way, which indicates positively about her qualities as a lawyer. I was pleased to learn that Ms. Hua speaks Mandarin, because Mandarin is a language that may be underserved by the Nevada legal community."

"19 years of practicing criminal law in California and Nevada as A deputy Attorney General and former Deputy Public Defender is what we refer to as extremely experienced. The legendary firm of "Bucky" Buchanan a true legend in Las Vegas law who once had a TV show does not hire anyone but the tops in their field. Her knowledge of both the law and procedure is excellent and evident in her pro bono contributions here. Client reviews are stellar. READ THEM! Endorsements from peer attorneys are also outstanding. Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with Jeannie ASAP. If your lucky she might just agree to represent you. KUDOS"
