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.

Honest, Reliable, Thorough, Genuine

I contacted Jeannie Hua after being falsely accused of a crime I didn't commit. She took my call right away and listened to me without interruption as I explained my case in detail. She then gave me a complete overview of the complexity of my predicament and educated me on all the aspects of cases li...ke these in the judicial system. Her demeanor and disposition were extremely calming and comforting. She instilled in me a confidence that had been shaken and truly put me at ease. She even took the initiative to handle any communications on my behalf WITHOUT asking for, or referring to, payments, fees, or retainers. I have never dealt with an attorney with this type of integrity before.

Always in YOUR corner

Jeannie is a breath of fresh air in the legal arena. Her level of professionalism and her depth of knowledge in criminal defense is second to none. I am grateful that Jeannie was there for me when I needed her most. I was in a situation that kept me up at night for many months, and when other lawy...ers were not responsive to my case, Jeannie took the time out of her busy schedule, to make sure that she addressed all my concerns, and she delivered GREAT RESULTS! She treated me like a human being, and most importantly with a lot of respect. It's a HUGE relief with Jeannie fighting in your corner. Thanks Jeannie! You restored the sanity back in my life. I will always be grateful for what you did.

Great lawyer, highly recommended

Hiring Jeannie was one of the best decisions I have made in my lifetime. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the laws in the state of Nevada and communication with her was superb. In the past I have had other lawyers represent me, and it was nearly impossible to get a hold of them usually, especial...ly near deadlines when your life is on the line. This was not the case with Jeannie, who responds to texts and calls in a timely fashion. She also worked hard on my case, updating me each step of the way. I highly recommend hiring Jeannie to represent you.

"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"

She is a person of integrity, who is dedicated to providing the absolute best criminal defense representation on behalf of her clients. You can count on her to stand by you no matter what, to fight for you and for your case, and to bring all her expertise, creativity and persuasive arguments to the table in your defense. I am now in private practice in Ventura CA.
