Hands down the best

Vincent Ginn is an incredible attorney. He is attentive and compassionate. He took the time to address all my concerns and provided will thought out responses and made sure I was comfortable before proceeding through my case. He has 20 years experience and it shows. He even continued to assist unpaye...d after my case was dismissed. I would highly recommend him in need of a defense attorney. Don't waste your money or time on any other attorney.

Vincent really cares about his clients.

Several months ago, I got myself in a really bad situation. I was at risk of losing my job, my career, my home. I had gone to several other lawyers and they all told me pretty much the same thing, that i was screwed. All they wanted was money up front. I don't have a lot of money. Then one nigh...t my wife came home with the kids from First Friday and handed me a business card and said, " you need to call this man." So I did. And thank God I did. This man had listened to my wife and told her to tell me to call him the next morning, on Saturday. I I asked her, "What lawyer anywhere would take calls on a Saturday?" She said, "this one does." She later told me there was something genuine about how he listened and how he talked but mostly she said, there was something in his eyes that made her believe in him. So I called that Saturday in the early afternoon, half expecting an answering service. He (not a secretary) answered. He explained he was at lunch with parents and would call me back within the hour. And he did. He asked me to meet him at his office with all my paperwork. ON A SATURDAY, no less. I had to take my whole family with me. When we got there, Vincent unlocked the door and let us in. He didn't really look like a lawyer to me because he was wearing a Superman T-shirt and shorts. but I trust my wife. Vincent introduced himself to my mom and I, said hi to my wife and knelt down and said hi to my two kids. We walked into his office. He offered us all a bottle of cold water. He then sat down and immediately explained that there were confidentiality issues and how his kids shouldn't have to hear the details. My mom took the kids to the lobby. Vincent provided them both with their own box of crayons and paper. Who does that? I agreed to allow my wife to sit in on the meeting. She knew everything any way. I told him the situation and how foolish I was. I expected that Vincent would tell me the same story as all the others. But he didn't. I showed him my paperwork and at one point he smiled a bit. He explained to me that my charges were serious and said that although prison was a possibility, his goal would be to resolve the case as painlessly as possible. Then Vincent's demeanor became serious. He quoted his fee to handle the case. It was on the high end of all the other lawyer's I talked to EXCEPT he said to us, "how much can you REALISTICALLY afford to pay in payments to me?" He then looked at us both and said, "I know times are tough, I know what it's like growing up working to make ends meet. I saw my parents work 18 hour days just to make sure we kids were alright." Vincent then shocked me and said," I know you aren't going to run on me. I don't want you to lose your house, or let the kids go without just to pay me $500 a month. Pay me what you can, when you can." My wife and I both were almost in tears. We gave him only half of what all the others wanted upfront. And I will never forget these words he said as I left his office, " You hired me. Now it's my job to WORRY about your case, not you. You take care of your family. " THe next week, my wife and I met him in the courthouse. He definitely looked like a lawyer that day. And it seemed everyone, from the judge to the DA, to all the other lawyers seemed to be happy to see him. He talked to the DA a bit, and then walked over to us. He was smiling. He said, "You just happened to get a DA that knows the value of a case and a judge that is fair." We came back in 2 weeks. I had done what Vincent told me to do, paid fines and fees. Vincent then walked me outside and said "you're done, stay out of any more trouble." My case was dismissed. I was shocked. My wife was shocked. She cried and hugged him. Both my kids hugged him. He shook my hand and left. I still owe Vincent and am paying him slowly but surely. Vincent is a Godsend. Thank you Mr. Ginn.

Not your typical lawyer

I was referred to Vincent. I was stuck in a bad situation and he helped me out. I happen to work in the Legal field and was not looking forward to having to hire an Attorney of my own. Vincent showed me he was an excellent choice. Responsive, kind and informative. I recommend him! I am so glad I foun...d him!

Vinny took the Bull by the Horns and had my DUI case reduced to a misdermeanor

Never having any legal trouble I was in the dark when it came to finding an attorney for my DUI case. I interviewed several attorneys with the same result, cheap talk and no game plan. Finally, one of my wife's client referred me to Vinny Ginn. Upon meeting with Vince, he listened in detail to my s...cenario, explaining to him how a dinner function with some family while having a few glasses of wine put me in a bad situation when I got pulled over for an illegal turn. While explaining the details of my case, Vincent's demeanor quickly turned enthusiastic as he found several loopholes in the way Metro handled my denial to give a breathalyzer and forcing me to submit blood against my will at the Detention Center. He had an immediate gameplan, actually several game plans, letting me know that the legal process may take some time but in the end he felt extremely confident he could get my DUI charge dropped to a misdemeanor. We filed contingencies, all the while Vinny kept me informed. Anytime I had a question, he would call me back immediately. Well after almost two years of fighting my case for me, he was able to pull off Exactly what weset out to accomplish. NO DUI only a misdemeanor. So, if anyone out there tells you it's impossible to have a DUI reduced, think again. What makes Vinny a two headed monster is the experience he has from both sides of the law. He informed me that before becoming a defense attorney, he worked as a prosecutor and I quickly realized the advantage of having a lawyer that knows how to think like a prosecutor. Most attorneys take your money and run. My impression is Vince takes each case on with a sense of determination to win. At the end of the day, I can't thank Vinny enough. I am a strong advocate against anyone drinking and driving and feel I learned something valuable from this experience. I also want to thank Vinny for sending his condolences on the death of my son recently. Vincent is an attorney who cares and my wife and I now consider him a friend.

Attorney Recommended

Recently I found myself in an unfortunate situation and needed some real assistance.  I knew I needed to make an important decision on whom I intended to represent me in my case. I called and researched several potential attorneys by phone. I also initially utilized an attorney and paid partial of my... attorney fee's. But, I felt that the legal firm didn't engage and provide the service that I needed. I felt worrisome, anxious and uneasy. A friend who recently hired attorney Vincent Ginn referred me to him. Once I spoke to Mr. Ginn I explained my situation and through out the conversation he listened and clearly explained in detail what his view points were. I was impressed With his professional demeanor and confidence upon his expertise of the law and court procedures. I felt at ease and less stressful. Attorney Vincent Ginn was always there. He answered all of my questions and gave me confidence when I was in doubt. He handled my case with complete competence and professionalism which lead my case to be dismissed.  Mr. Ginn is not only a great lawyer but also a great and caring person. All in all, I highly recommend Attorney Vincent Ginn representation to anyone in need of a valuable attorney.

"Vincent is a fierce advocate. Vincent is not only a fierce advocate for his clients, but he is also one of the most liked individuals in the courthouse. This is a very important attribute for a criminal defense attorney in Las Vegas. When Vincent was a prosecutor, I had several cases with him. He was always very well-prepared and was aware of the strengths and weaknesses of both parties. These skills serve him well now that he is defending those accused of committing crimes."
