Practice Areas

DUI and DWI 40%

The majority of my practice consists of defending clients against allegations of DUI. I also represent clients in the license revocation process through the DMV in an effort to keep my clients driving for as long as possible! Even if you reside out of state I can represent you in court so that you do not have to return to Nevada to answer for the charges. Once I have the facts of your case, I will devise a defense strategy to ensure the best possible outcome! for your case!

Criminal Defense 25%

I handle everything from traffic to murder, and at all stages of the proceedings, including, Arraignment, Preliminary Hearings and trial. Whether you are a local or found yourself in trouble while vacationing, I will go above and beyond to protect your rights, minimize your court appearances, and secure the best results possible! I am available to answer questions in the evening and on the weekends. My consultations are always free!

Domestic Violence 25%

Although Domestic Violence is usually filed as a misdemeanor, it will have a substantial impact on your life unless handled properly! The crime is enhanceable and impacts your ability to own a firearm. In my experience the facts do not always warrant the crime charged and it is necessary to take your case to trial!

Expungement 10%

I can seal your record in all courts including, municipal court, justice court and district court. The prices and amount of time it takes to complete the process varies, so please call me for a free phone consultation!

Hired Attorney

Terry Jones is the BEST!!! She is an angel sent from GOD! She was always available!!! From our initial call, she was able to calm me down and reassure me that this issue that I thought was the end of the world, could be resolved! She has it all; experience, reputation, knowledge and knows how to t...reat people!!! This was my first time having any legal trouble and had always heard so many scary stories about attorneys so was very skeptical, especially after talking to about 10 other attorneys. Within about 5 minutes into our call I knew she cared and knew she could help me! All the other attorneys I spoke with used scare tactics, and they didn’t sound like they had a plan at all! Terry from day one, was positive and encouraging but honest and had a definite plan of attack! Long story short, I went from a Felony to charges DIsmissed!!!! Only Terry could have done this for me!!!! If you need help, call her Now! I am eternally grateful for her!!!

The best legal defense in Las Vegas! They saved me at my lowest point!

I was arrested for DUI, reckless driving, and a few other charges last year. I felt hopeless, lost, and defeated. I contacted the law offices of Shimer Zach and terry and John personally sat down with me and took time to explain everything in great detail. They were informative and confident in their... ability to fight my case. I explained to them how I work in healthcare and they used this to help fight my case. They listened to my concerns regarding my job and focused on this during the case. The pricing they charged me for my case was extremely reasonable. I hired them and they were able to beat the case for me resulting in the DUI dropping down to a reckless driving. They even beat the DMV case for me so I had no restrictions on my drivers license. I’ll be able to continue working because they saved my career. I can’t begin to explain how grateful I am for their help. John and Terry and the rest of their team are amazing. I would recommend this law firm to anyone needing legal defense. They gave me updates often, reassured me that everything would be alright, and most importantly got me the best possible result from this case and saved my career. I am eternally grateful for their help. Thank you Terry and John!
