What We Do

About Us

As the Federal Public Defender of Nevada, we provide dedicated teams with extensive command of federal practice in three distinct areas: trial/appeals, non-capital and capital habeas units.

Practice Areas

Our office is well-equipped to handle matters in three distinct areas: trials and appeals, capital habeas and non-capital habeas cases.

Trial

The trial and appellate units provide representation to indigent, court-appointed clients facing federal criminal charges. Our attorneys and staff are exceptional in their field. All are fully equipped to aggressively prepare and defend each client’s case throughout their federal criminal trial and appellate proceedings.

Capital Habeas

The Capital Habeas Unit (“CHU”) represents state prisoners sentenced to death in federal habeas corpus proceedings, brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, at the federal trial level and throughout their appeals. The CHU regularly represent clients throughout their habeas post-conviction proceedings, including litigation within the federal district court, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court.

Non-Capital Habeas

The Non-Capital Habeas Unit (“NCH”) represents state prisoners sentenced to less than death in federal habeas corpus proceedings, brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, at the federal trial level and throughout their appeals. The NCH unit regularly represents clients throughout their habeas proceedings, including litigation within the federal district court, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court.
