How to Fight a Homicide Charge in Nevada?
Defending against a homicide charge in Nevada can be complex and challenging, but there are several strategies that a skilled criminal defense attorney may use to help fight the charges. Here are some of the most common defense strategies:
Self-defense: If the defendant can prove that the homicide was committed in self-defense, the charges may be reduced or dismissed.
Defense of others: Similar to self-defense, if the defendant acted to protect someone else from harm, the charges may be reduced or dismissed.
Mistaken identity: If the prosecution cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was the person who committed the homicide, the charges may be dismissed.
Insanity: If the defendant was not in the right state of mind at the time of the offense, due to a mental illness or defect, they may be found not guilty by reason of insanity.
Lack of intent: In some cases, a homicide may have been committed without intent or premeditation, which can result in reduced charges.
Improper police conduct: If law enforcement violated the defendant's constitutional rights during the investigation or arrest, the charges may be dismissed.
An experienced criminal defense attorney can work to build a strong case using one or more of these defense strategies, as well as any other applicable legal arguments. The goal is to create reasonable doubt in the minds of the judge or jury, and potentially secure a dismissal, reduced charges, or a not guilty verdict.

ALLISON GREEN - Google Review
Incredibly happy with what they have been able to accomplish for me so far. Damian Sheets is extremely knowledgeable and aggressive when needed in the courtroom. Especially when it comes to shutting down false allegations and claims made against you. They were able to reassure me and give me a sense of ease knowing my case was in such good hands. Especially considering how incredibly busy his schedule was, but still made me feel like a priority. His paralegal Stace, is extremely nice and helpful as well. Definitely a firm I would recommend.

Damian and his team are levels above the rest. From my experience, all calls and communications have been handled with the perfect mix of personalism and professionalism. While you may be assigned to one lawyer who will show up to court with you, the case is overseen by all the attorneys within the group which I found comforting knowing there were more eyes on the case and I believe this allowed all avenues to be explored. I can see that the clients truly matter here and that there is nothing more that this group wants than the best possible outcome for you. You will not find a more caring firm from the top down in Nevada.
CHRIS MARX - Google Review
After trying to reach out to several attorneys, I came across the Nevada Defense Group and messaged them a day before I was scheduled for court. I had pretty much given up on the idea of having "good" representation. To my surprise and relief, I was contacted first thing in the morning to discuss my case. Everyone I spoke with was amazing (Brenden, Eileen, and Damian). They took the time to listen without judgment and never made me feel rushed even though it was already limited time. Hopefully, I won't need them again lol, but if I ever need a lawyer in the future, I already know who I'm calling. Thank you again everyone at Nevada Defense Group 🙏
