Andrew Wheeler

I have been associated with the criminal court system in Clark County for over 20 years. In 2005 I shifted my practice exclusively to defending DUI charges. In the last fifteen years I have represented over 3,000 clients in DUI cases in the Clark County court system. With the statistics out of the way, I am often asked why I chose to defend those charged with DUI? I call DUI “the neighbor crime”, as an extra drink or two could put any of our neighbors, folks we have known and relied upon for years, facing a serious criminal charge. It has been my experience that a majority of my clients have never been involved in the court system before, and time has demonstrated over the last decade, that they have never returned to the court system. To that end, my role in my client’s journey is very clear… to prevent a short-term mistake from becoming a long-term consequence. For men and women who seek out my assistance, I focus on three key elements during my representation: I value the men and women I have represented and the small role I have played in their overall journey. It is my hope to continue to assist and counsel good people who are involved in this complicated situation.
