Attorneys at Bush & Levy LLC. focus their practice upon three legal areas: criminal defense, family law, or personal injury claims. Bush & Levy intentionally dedicates its efforts to providing quality representation to cases dealing with:
Criminal Defense
The Las Vegas criminal defense lawyers at Bush & Levy defend those who have been accused of a crime, misdemeanor or felony, whether or not an arrest has been made. Crimes include all types of misdemeanors and felonies; traffic violations; traffic tickets; driving drunk charges (DUI, DWI), drug crimes including possession and distribution allegations, sexual assaults, juvenile offenses, white collar crimes, and domestic battery.
Bush & Levy criminal defense lawyers represent clients from the initial investigation to any arrest, through trial and any appeal, as well as sentencing and any post conviction relief. While these criminal defense attorneys represent cases pending in Las Vegas criminal courts, the firm clients may or may not be actual residents of Las Vegas or of the State of Nevada.
Bush & Levy criminal defense lawyers aggressively defend clients with criminal charges pending in the following courts: Clark County District Court; Las Vegas Justice Court; North Las Vegas Justice Court; Henderson Justice Court; Boulder Township Justice Court; Laughlin Justice Court; City of Las Vegas Municipal Court; City of North Las Vegas Municipal Court; City of Henderson Municipal Court, and elsewhere.
Family Law
As family – divorce lawyers, Bush & Levy family law attorneys help clients in all types of divorce and family matters, including divorce, annulment, child custody, child support, separation, spousal support, child visitation rights, along with adoptions, termination of parental rights cases, as well as domestic violence matters and child abuse and child neglect cases (CPS).
Personal Injury
Bush & Levy personal injury lawyers represent plaintiffs and their families to obtain monetary compensation for their losses. As experienced personal injury attorneys, they work with clients to settle cases prior to filing formal litigation, because a successful settlement in a short amount of time can be very beneficial to many families.
However, if settlement negotiations with insurance company representatives do not bring a reasonable result, the personal injury lawyers at Bush & Levy will aggressively pursue the matter in an official, filed lawsuit if that is what is needed for the client to obtain justice. Personal injury clients include people who have been hurt in traffic accidents; slip and falls at various locations (stores, malls, apartment complexes); car accidents, or truck accidents; as well as families who have suffered from a loved one’s wrongful death.
Free initial consultations are available by phone or in person with a licensed Nevada attorney. Just call 702-868-4411 to schedule your free initial consultation.
What is the initial consultation? Is that secret?
When you meet with an attorney at Bush & Levy, your initial consultation is free. Bush & Levy lawyers do not charge you for that first meeting, where introductions are made and you describe your situation to the Bush & Levy lawyer. The initial meeting is protected by confidentiality laws – Bush & Levy attorneys cannot reveal anything that you communicate during the consultation. However, this does not mean that an attorney-client relationship has been created.
Does a consultation mean you’ve hired Bush & Levy as your law firm?
Bush & Levy becomes your law firm only if you and the attorney agree that Bush & Levy is the right firm for your case. For example, you may have a very valid discrimination case, but Bush & Levy does not handle civil rights work and could not be of help to you.
Once you have become an official client of Bush & Levy, what are your duties?
Successful clients work with their attorneys. It is important that clients are:
- truthful
- cooperative and responsive
- available (returning phone calls promptly, etc.)
