THIS IS A CONTRACT
Please contact our office so that we can answer any questions that you have. Our intent is to have a mutual understanding of the legal services that you are seeking.
FEES
Non-contested cases:
Non-contested cases are intended to be resolved with a “no contest” or “guilty” plea in exchange for a predetermined or negotiated outcome. Fees for any case or cases that are non-contested are earned when paid.
Contested cases:
Fees will be quoted on a case-by-case basis. Fees for contested cases may be “flat fee” and earned when paid, or they may be quoted on an hourly basis, billed monthly with a minimum draw-down retainer fee.
Fees are typically refunded if the firm does not work on, or rejects your case for any reason. Fees for non-contested cases or “flat-fee” contested cases will not be refunded if any work has commenced on your behalf.
We charge a flat fee per traffic ticket case that has not had a plea entered, you have not been found or deemed guilty, and is not in warrant status that is filed in one of the following courts in Clark County, Nevada:
- Las Vegas Municipal Court
- Las Vegas Justice Court
- Henderson Municipal Court
- Henderson Justice Court
- North Las Vegas Municipal Court
- North Las Vegas Justice Court
- Boulder City Municipal Court
- Boulder City Justice Court
- Laughlin Justice Court
- Goodsprings Justice Court
- Searchlight Justice Court
- Moapa Justice Court
- Moapa Valley Justice Court
- Bunkerville Justice Court
We cannot accept cases that are filed in Tribal courts or anywhere outside of Nevada.
The website will generate an invoice for a "base fee" when the registration form is filled out. The base fee is subject to change. The base fee is what we charge for a single, one-to-three violation civil infraction case that is submitted within 60 days of the date the citation was issued. Civil infraction cases submitted 61 to 90 days after the date that the citation was issued may be subject to an additional fee.
Fees for any other type of case like DUI, Reckless, or other serious 5+ point moving violations or any case already adjudicated, including any case in which you have been found or deemed guilty or that is in warrant status will be quoted on a case-by-case basis.
RUSH FEES [Effective July 10, 2023]
Civil Infraction cases have a 90-day deadline to respond after the citation is issued. If you do not give us at least 30 days to process your civil infraction case, we may charge a rush fee.
COSTS
Costs are defined by statute in NRS 18.005. We do not incur costs in most of the cases we work on. However, if costs are incurred with your consent, you will be responsible for those costs even if the costs are paid upfront by our office.
GUARANTEES
By submitting a case through this website, you agree and understand that there is no guarantee of any particular outcome.
Effective January 1, 2023, for any non-commercial driver client with a first-time in a rolling three-year period non-contested case, The Maridon Law Firm guarantees a full refund up to the base fee if we are unable to obtain a deal in your moving violation traffic ticket case that results in the elimination or reduction of the points in your traffic ticket case if you fulfill all the requirements to complete your case as directed by our office. This is the only guarantee that we make.
There are no other guarantees. Even though you can find many testimonials and examples of other cases that are like yours, there is no guarantee that we can get you the same or even close to the same result in your case. We do not guarantee a reduced fine. We do not guarantee a better deal than you can get on your own or with any other law firm. Our obligation to you as a client is to work diligently on your behalf to get you the best deal possible.
COMMUNICATION
All communication from our office regarding your case will be transmitted through this website on your case profile. We do not call or send letters in the mail. We may, as a courtesy, send you an email to let you know that there is a status update that you need to log in to see. It is your responsibility to log in to check the status of your case and to read the information we provide for you to complete your case.
You are responsible for providing all the information we need to resolve your case. It is your responsibility to give us any documentation we need for your case, for example, if your ticket includes an insurance violation we will need proof of insurance, if you were cited for a registration violation we will need a registration certificate, etc. If you do not provide the information or documentation, we will assume that you do not have it and we will not be able to get you the best possible deal.
SCOPE OF WORK
We will work on your case as indicated by the retainer fee that you paid. None of the fees quoted on this website include a trial. We will not, under any circumstances, do any work on your case unless the appropriate retainer fee has been paid. Once work has been completed on your case the attorney-client relationship will end unless you and the law firm have expressly agreed to continue the attorney-client relationship on other matters. The representation is terminable at will by either party subject to ethical restraints.
