Public Defender or Private Defense Attorney?

Hiring a private attorney to defend a criminal charge can be intimidating and daunting. However, if you are trying to decide between a private criminal defense attorney and the public defender, you need to know the differences. Not everyone in Las Vegas will be eligible for a Public Defender. There may be income qualifications, and even if you qualify, a private defense attorney may be the better choice. You can receive far more effective legal representation and greater communication from a private criminal defense attorney.

If you have been arrested, you should not risk your future on a public defender. They face heavy caseloads, and while they are committed to seeking justice, they may not be able to provide each client with the exacting detail required in criminal defense cases due to their workloads. With Rasmussen Law P.C., your case will be thoroughly analyzed and aggressively defended.
