In Reno, as in the rest of the country, criminal law isn’t static—it evolves. Laws get updated, and penalties become stricter. The reality?

If you thought a DUI was just a slap on the wrist in Reno, think again. Penalties for DUI offenses, especially repeat offenses, have gotten harsher in 2025. Nevada lawmakers have significantly ramped up the punishments for alcohol-related and drug-related DUIs. We're talking heavier fines, longer license suspensions, mandatory classes, and yes—more time in jail.

Hiring an attorney like Jesse Kalter can help you understand your rights, mount an effective defense, and potentially have your charges reduced.

If you’ve served your time, you should have the chance to move on.

Record sealing can mean the difference between landing a job or being rejected outright. For those who qualify, it’s a game-changer.

If you’re facing a charge as serious as homicide or assault, brace yourself—sentencing just became harsher in Nevada.
