Clark County Defense Attorney who fights for his Clients

I could have spent upwards of 15 years involving 5 felony sexual abuse charges. I had never been in trouble with the law and didn't know were to turn for help. I was referred to Mr. McMullen through a family member. On days when we went to court Jon was very professional. He seemed to be well kn...own and liked by everybody in the courtroom. Twice upon leaving the courtroom I had people come up to me and ask for his card. Once during a hearing he actually had to correct a judge and show them what needed to be done in a particular part of my case. Mr. McMullen fought hard for me. Unfortunately because of media coverage I still had to spend 9 months in jail and plead to 2 of the 5 charges. I know that without his help I most likely would have gone to prison for a long time. While in jail I heard many horror stories about people going with court appointed attorneys and how they were hard to get a hold of and didn't feel satisfied with them. I made several calls to Jon and he got back to me in a timely fashion. As I was going in to be sentenced one of the two officers transporting me from the jail to the courthouse asked me who my attorney was and when I told him he said, " That's a good attorney to have." The other officer told me, " I know if I were in trouble he would be the first attorney on my list." Needless to say I was very satisfied with Jon throughout my trial process. If I had to go through this nightmare again he would still be my attorney. He was worth ever penny.

"Jon McMullen is a dedicated advocate and tenacious litigator. In my former position as a Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, I worked across from Jonny on some of the most serious types of felonies including allegations of Rape of a Child in the First Degree. Jonny always did the legwork necessary to make the prosecutor, or later finder of fact, understand the weaknesses in the prosecution's case. Highly recommended."

Criminal defense lawyer | Jan 01

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known Jon Mc Mullen for over 15 years. For the past 10 years I was a Deputy/Senior Deputy Prosecutor in the Major Crimes Unit or in the Children's Justice Unit. Jon and I have had many very difficult and sensitive matters in which we were opposing counsel. Jon is one of the best attorneys I had the pleasure to prosecute cases against. Jon and I have dealt with many Class A sex offenses and many other serious cases. Jon has always been a zealous and effective advocate for his clients. In my opinion he is one of the best attorneys in his practice area, criminal defense, in the state. Jon honestly cares for his clients. I have a great deal of respect for his abilities and if I were ever in trouble, he is one of the few attorneys I would want to represent me."
