Why people hire Las Vegas Defense Group
In a Las Vegas criminal case the prosecutor and the judge are watching for one thing: does this defense lawyer try cases? Many local defense firms talk a big game and then plead everything out. Michael Becker has personally tried more than 100 criminal cases to verdict — including murder, sexual assault, drug trafficking, and child abuse — securing dozens of not-guilty verdicts and hung juries. That track record changes how the District Attorney evaluates your case before a plea is ever offered.
