Domestic Violence
If you are accused of a crime involving a victim who is related to you by marriage or who lives with you, the offense probably falls within mandatory domestic violence guidelines. Given the recent politics of domestic violence crimes, these matters are aggressively prosecuted. Any conviction may carry a jail term and result in sanctions against your professional license, limitations in child visitation rights, loss of gun privileges, and mandatory counseling. At Trent, Tyrell & Associates, we help protect your rights in this complicated, emotional area of the law.

Bad Checks
Willfully passing bad checks to obtain money or property is usually a misdemeanor, but rises to the level of a felony under Nevada law if the amount of bad checks passed is more than $250 in a 90-day period. Penalties for passing bad checks include up to 6 months in county jail, fines of up to $1,000, and payment of restitution. Trent, Tyrell & Associates defends clients accused of passing bad checks, including challenging whether there was an intent to defraud the recipient of the check.
