I’m Robert “Bob” Fahrendorf, and I’ve personally defended over 10,000 people in Northern Nevada in over 30 years of practicing law in Northern Nevada.
Please take a moment and think about that statement. How could one man build a practice to represent over 10,000 people? I don’t advertise; no television ads; no radio spots; no billboards. I don’t pay to have an ad placed at the top of the page when you search for an attorney on the internet. The numbers speak for themselves. The way that I’ve built this practice is through, what I believe is the best form of advertising, which is “word of mouth.”
It is common for a prospective client to “attorney shop.” The process involves speaking with friends, colleagues, co-workers, friends of friends and surfing the web. I encourage people to shop.
A person needs to be comfortable with their attorney. They need to know that their attorney knows the law, has the ability to explain it to them, will meet personally with them, work hard on their behalf and charge them a reasonable fee.
I do all of those things for each client. Oftentimes, when a person retains me, I’ll ask them, “How did you find me?” They generally respond with “Your reputation. You are known for being an honest, hard-working attorney who will always tell me the truth. I’ve had many people refer me to you and then I read your reviews online and I knew that they were real. Now after meeting with you, it’s all true, you know the law, took the time to explain my potential defenses to the charge; your fee is reasonable, and, frankly, I feel better.” And, although, this is self-serving, simply put, “You’re the best.”
I believe that a client should have the ability to communicate with their attorney; therefore, I give clients my cell number. People can call or text me on nights and weekends, and, importantly, I actually respond in a timely manner.
As you can tell from this statement, I offer more than a resume. I bring knowledge of the law, experience, integrity, passion and compassion to every client that I represent. This is how I’ve built my reputation as a criminal defense attorney, and, in particular, as one of the pre-eminent DUI defense attorneys in Northern Nevada.
I am a member of the Nevada Bar Association, the Washoe County Bar Association and the National College of DUI Defense. I sat as a member of the Nevada Supreme Court Death Penalty Committee and have lectured at the National Judicial College.

Best lawyer in Reno
area I was involved in a case facing some serious drug charges. After doing much research on lawyers in the area, I met with Mr. Fahrendorf and ultimately hired him. He is extremely compassionate, attentive, and knowledgeable. He did not judge and took the time to listen to the whole situation. Mr. Fahrendorf is the best lawyer in the Reno area.
— Former Client

— Former Client
Highly Recommended!
I was involved in a single car accident and was charged with a DUI. After meeting with several lawyers, I decided to hire Bob to represent me. He was very straight forward with me about the process we would be going through and didn’t try to sugar coat anything. He told me the worst case scenario for my case and what he was going to do to fight it to get my charges reduced if possible. This was very helpful for me because I was completely new to this process and was pretty nervous about the whole situation. Bob ultimately found errors in my case and got my DUI dismissed entirely to lesser charges. I can’t say enough good things about my experience. He made himself available for any concerns and made the process less stressful. He was very kind and straight forward. He was comfortable to be around (other attorneys I met were very arrogant and not very respectful to me). I highly recommend Bob to anyone battling a DUI or similar case. Very thankful for what he was able to do for me!
— Erik
Just an outstanding experience.
Bob was completely knowledgeable about what my experience would look like. Very good at being in contact and making a hard situation that much more comfortable. Never sugar coats anything, but makes sure you realize things will be handled in the best possible way. Would recommend him to anyone.

He probably is the best DUI attorney in Washoe County
I met Bob five weeks ago after I had a DUI on Mt. Rose Highway. Found him through reviews on the internet. He probably is the best DUI attorney in Washoe County. He is not with one of those firms that have huge billboards advertising his services. Small firm, excellent service. I was in a one car crash on Mt. Rose. First time DUI. He walked me through the process, and was very down to earth and compassionate. He went through all the paperwork on my case and was able to get my charges reduced to reckless driving. He stayed with me throughout the process, including staying with me while I filled out my post sentencing paperwork. I trusted him 100%. All the other lawyers took off after their clients were finished with the hearing. He only handles one client at a pretrial hearing or a trial. I was able to get this cleared up in five weeks.

— Briana Orozco
I can honestly say, finding Bob’s office was one of the biggest blessings.
I was having the worst legal experience of my life. Between the stress and confusion and lack of communication with my prior attorney, I was in constant state of anxiety and tears with not know what would or would not happen. A friend recommended Bob and from day one, I felt immediate relief. His knowledge and communication provided a sense of relief that I had not felt in months. I was kept in the loop every step of the way. He was only involved in my case for two weeks and went above and beyond every day he was. I never once wondered if I would hear from him or what was going to happen next. He fought for me every step of the way and the outcome was better than I could have imagined. His knowledge and professionalism was always 110% and his staff was kind and helpful. I wish I could mark this more than 5 stars as I cannot thank him enough for all he helped me with! But I will, so thank you again!
— Alisha Theofanides
I had the pleasure of having Bob Fahrendorf as my DUI lawyer and I can not put into words how impressed and pleased I was. I will not go anywhere else.
Not only is he highly experienced and professional but also personable enough to make sure I was comfortable, up to date with everything and willing to walk me through anything as many times as I needed if I was unsure about anything in anyway. Not to mention his office staff is extremely friendly, proficient and reliable! I highly recommend Bob Fahrendorf Law. Thank you Bob!

Bob Fahrendorf is the worlds best lawyer you'd want to represent you in a unlawful criminal case.
Not only is he real and honest Bob is someone who doesn't give up, if he firmly believes in you. Bob Fahrendorf has represented almost my entire family and every time has won. Just recently I contacted Bob for a situation where manufacturing marijuana/CBD extract was being done for purposes of people who suffer from PTSD anxiety and children with epilepsy in my back yard by my boyfriend who has a degree in bio chemistry. A scientist who is also a combat Vet (also suffers from PTSD). Bob believed in my boyfriends knowledge and passion for his reasons of why he extracted the CBD from the plant. Not knowing the laws of what can and can't be done with marijuana the neighbors called the police which in turn was unlawfully judged as a criminal who's intentions where only to do good for the sake of anyone who suffers from PTSD disabilities and more. Justice has been served not only is my boyfriend not judged as a criminal but also was only charged with possession of paraphernalia. Fahrendorf...you rock. You're the best. Thank from the bottom of our hearts. I have endless gratitude and respect for you.
