Highly Recommended

Mr. Horvath is professional and dedicated to effective representation of his clients. I would highly recommend anyone facing a criminal charge contact his office. He advocates diligently for his clients to get the best result possible. I consider him one of the top criminal attorneys in Las Vegas, an...d the only one I would recommend.

Responsive and Empathetic

We recently were involved in a pretty ugly car accident and Michael Horvath and his team were fantastic. They were empathetic to our situation and responsive to our questions. My wife and I had never been in a situation like this so they really gave us piece of mind through the entire process. Would ...definitely recommend Michael and his team at the Draskovich Law Group.

A Competent Professional that Won My Case and Exceeded My Expectations

I was wrongly accused in a criminal misdemeanor case that could have damaged my reputation and my good standing as a Retired Law Enforcement Professional. A plea-bargain was not an option. On short notice, Mr. Horvath and his team quickly responded to the prosecuting DA and obtained all of the relev...ant information and evidence. The matter was dismissed in a few short weeks. The services provided were completed within our agreed upon price, and Mr. Horvath took the time to know me as a person and a client. I always felt that he and his staff had my best interests in mind. So if you are looking for results, this is the lawyer for you. Best regards, LTC(Retired) P.J. Webster

professional

I went in with a urgent need to be defended in a short time frame, Michael took care of me, assured me my case was cut and dry and I didn't need to be worried of the false allegations against me. They made it work financially for me and I was able to beat the charges. I would highly recommend Michael... as a lawyer to any of my friends who need defense as well as my future possible needs if any. I will absolutely be a repeat customer if need be! I was very appreciative of his help!
