Defense group
This was my first time needing an attorney. I am glad I consulted with Neil Shouses office. They brought my mind at ease. Of course no one plans for these things but they were so helpful and worked with my financial problems. I believe they genuinely care about the people who hire them.

Car accident
Recently I was involved in an auto accident and did not know who to call. A friend referred me to Las Vegas Defense Group. I called to schedule an appointment but did not have a ride since my car was inoperable. The office manager said not a problem and sent a Lyft to pick me up and bring me to the office. I ended up hiring the firm to defend me in my Personal Injury case. The staff is super friendly and very informative of the procedures I would be going thru. I highly recommend Neil Shouse ATTY for anyone who is involved in an auto accident and is seeking representation.

I can't say enough about Mr. Shouse's law group . As an individual with no experience with law, I was nervous and didn't know where to start. Thank you to your team for all the help and knowledge I have gained through this great experience.

Amazing Law Firm...Las Vegas Defense Group
I have used the Las Vegas Defense Group for a traffic ticket in which they got the case DISMISSED! I was shocked though they did it. I also recently got into a card accident and I am working with their Personal Injury Case Manager Hazel...she is great...totally on top of her game...I am going for weekly therapy and hope to feel a lot better. I know that I am in good hands and I will be compensated for being in this accident that was not my fault. I highly recommend this law firm to any of my friends or family...

Awesome
My experience with LVDG left me feeling great. From the beginning, I felt like my relatively minor case was treated as if it were a very serious one.
While hanging out at my house, I heard a strange knock at my door. The police informed me that I had been a very serious accident and that they knew it was me. I told them that I didn’t know what they were talking about. They told me a tow-truck was on its way to impound my car and I only needed to confess to take care of everything quickly. I continued to tell them that I didn’t know what they were talking about. This took about 3 hours and left me very shaken up.
About 2 weeks later, I got a notice in the mail from LVMPD that I was the suspect in a hit and run investigation. This frightened me. How could the police accuse me of this? Are my rights being violated? What’s going on?
I knew this was the time to consult a lawyer. I researched the Law Firm that I noticed represented police in previous cases, and that had former police officers on its staff. I knew that this sort of rapport with police would expedite my case, as they would be able to relate to the detective(s) investigating me on mutually understandable terms.
Upon meeting with the first of three individuals involved on my case, David Kohlmeier, Case Manager immediately made me feel the full implications of my case. He let me know the potential progress and possible punishments of my case, the benefits of retaining the law firm to protect me, and the cost structure for all of it. Nothing was unclear. He made me feel confident that he knew what he was talking about.
The next person I met with was In-House Private Investigator - William Simpson who personally investigated on my behalf and spoke to the detective on my behalf to figure out an appropriate time for me to go speak with him, as well as probing for information to give us a clearer understanding of what exactly I was being accused of.
After that, I met with my lawyer, and the state completely dropped its case with no tickets or punishments issued whatsoever! Whew!
Throughout the experience, all my phone calls were returned with expedience, and everything was explained thoroughly. The diverse backgrounds of the people involved on my case provided a plan that left me feeling like my rights were protected in the way that they should be. I felt like all I had to do was retain them as my legal counsel and let them do the rest. I was supposed to get a huge hit in more ways than one, but LVDG protected me. Thanks LVDG!

Amazing!
I was referred to Neil's law firm by one of my daughters classmates in California. The office staff were perfect and took care great care of us. Every single person in the office was very caring and compassionate. Our attorney Daniel was there for us during these tough times. He always made sure that we understood what was going on and was very understanding of our situation. We could tell that he genuinely cared about me and my case. I truly couldn't ask for a better attorney or law firm. If you are looking for an attorney, you've found the best!

Excellent Attorney!
I will be sharing my experience of when I used the Las Vegas Defense Group: I was charged with a DUI above 0.18, which could have negatively impacted my personal life and career. I was very worried about what could happen when I first started going through this stressful process. The Las Vegas Defense Group was there for me the entire time. They treated me as an individual person instead of just another case number. They were very upfront and forthcoming about the facts of my case and what could possibly happen. They truly put all of my fears at ease. Thankfully, they explained everything in depth before I even stepped into court. The possible outcome of the original charge would have been devastating to my career, but thankfully they got it reduced to a lesser charge which allowed me to keep providing for my family and continue on with my life and put this situation behind me. Since the case resolved and I didn't have to go to trial, I was spared the embarrassment of having to face the police officers and witnesses. I recommend this law firm to anyone facing criminal charges!
