Practice Areas

DUI Defense

There are several issues that need immediate attention when a person is arrested on a DUI. In Northern Nevada most people who have contacts in the community will be granted release on their own recognizance. If not, then a judge will set a bail amount which can be posted. The attorneys at Fahrendorf Law will guide you through the process. Also, the DMV may take immediate action and revoke your license. Bob and Joe are available 24/7 to answer your questions and assist in getting your license re-instated ASAP.

Criminal Defense

We defend people charged with all kinds of criminal offenses. These include Domestic Battery, Assault and Battery, Drug Crimes, DUI and Theft Offenses. We understand the anxiety that an accused and their family undergo when a person is arrested. We will be available by phone or text 24/7 and go to the jail, if necessary. If the person is released, we will schedule an appointment ASAP to explain your rights and help you through this stressful time.

Personal Injury

When you have been injured as the result of another person’s carelessness, first call for emergency medical attention. Next, call Fahrendorf Law Offices. We are here to help you guide you through the process and will answer your questions with a detailed explanation with the end goal of the maximum recovery possible. We handle car accidents, battery, slip and fall, wrongful death, premises liability, and many others!
