		<title>Why Casino Markers Prosecutions Violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Nevada Constitution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Nevada, the Bad Check Unit of the Clark County District Attorney&#8217;s Office prosecutes casino patrons who sign and bounce casino markers.  A casino marker, according to the Nevada Supreme Court case of Nguyen v. State, 116 Nev. 1171 (Nev. 2000), is a &#8220;check&#8221; for prosecution purposes under NRS 205.130 and NRS 205.132, Drawing and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nevada Probation Revocation Hearings &#8211; How to Challenge the Evidence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The biggest mistake I see lawyers make in Nevada probation revocation hearings is not knowing the law to protect their clients. Most lawyers think there&#8217;s nothing that can be done when someone who is on probation is facing revocation of probation.  Often a person is accused in a violation report prepared by Nevada Parole and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Las Vegas Casino Markers and the &#8220;Waiver&#8221; Defense</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It amazes me what these casinos in Las Vegas think they can get away with when it comes to casino markers.  Here&#8217;s the way the casino marker racket works.  Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re a customer or a patron of a casino.  While at the casino, you ask for a line of credit.  The first thing the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting the NCIC rap sheets of the witnesses against you</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Prosecutors in Clark County amaze me with what they think they can get away with.  If you have a pending criminal case, you need to make sure your lawyer is fighting to get the criminal histories (rap sheets) on the witnesses against you.  The reason that&#8217;s important is because you need to know what these [...]]]></description>

		<title>Attacking Flawed Implied Consent Warnings in your Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Defense</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m amazed at how sloppy Nevada law enforcement does its job in investigating and arresting motorists suspected for Driving Under the Influence (DUI).  Every law enforcement officer in the state of Nevada is supposed to advise a motorist suspected of driving under the influence the following implied consent warning under NRS 484C.160: If the motorist [...]]]></description>

		<title>Entrapment: What it is, and what it&#8217;s not?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On a recent flight back to Las Vegas returning from my 25th high school reunion, a man sitting next to me and I began talking.  He asked me what I do for a living, and I told him that I&#8217;m a criminal defense lawyer.  He then asked me in a quiet voice the following question, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can I be charged with child abuse for spanking my kid? Yes.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where has common sense gone?  I have a client who was charged with child abuse.  Now, the first thing that goes through someone&#8217;s head is an image of a parent inflicting horrible pain on a child.  Unfortunately for my client, he was arrested for slapping his 16-year old daughter after she mouthed off to him.

		<title>Using &#8220;What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas&#8221; as a defense to criminal prosecution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is there such a defense?  Yes. It&#8217;s called entrapment by estoppel.  I&#8217;ve always had a problem with the phrase, &#8220;What Happens In Vegas, Stays In Vegas.&#8221;  Don&#8217;t get me wrong &#8211; I like a catchy phrase as much as the next guy.  But the problem I have with this multimillion dollar commercial campaign is that [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Time for Nevada to Give Defendants a Jury Trial for Misdemeanor Domestic Violence Charges</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I began my career as a lawyer in Texas in 1998 before eventually moving to Nevada, I was amazed by how in Texas a defendant had the right to a six-person jury trial even for a minor traffic ticket.  In Texas, if you are charged with any misdemeanor including traffic citations (i.e., running a [...]]]></description>
