CLARK COUNTY, NORTH LAS VEGAS MUNICIPAL COURT

IMPORTANT NOTE: EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1ST, 2023-  with recent changes to laws that impact traffic related cases, some courts are changing their procedures, and likewise we may have courts that we no longer represent for, or court procedures that impact what our fees are for representation. We are hopeful that by the end of January 2023 we will be able to update our website further regarding this. Thank you.

Did you receive a traffic ticket driving on Interstate 15 for driving aggressively (NRS 484B.650)? Did you receive a traffic violation on Losee Rd for driving through a funeral procession (NRS 484B.350)? Did you leave your vehicle running while filling up the tank (NRS 484B.910) on N 5th St. These traffic tickets may be handled by the North Las Vegas Municipal Court. You can check the top and bottom of your traffic violation and it should say the issuing party (Sheriff, Highway Patrol, Metro) and the county and court where the ticket will be handled.  It is important to always check the deadline for appearance, which is typically shown on the bottom of citations. Failure to appear on or resolve before that date can result in a warrant. Some of the more common tickets we see for the North Las Vegas Municipal Court are violations like Speeding, Failure to Yield, Failing to Observe Traffic Control Device and Improper Lane Overtake. These types of violations can often be negotiated with the North Las Vegas Municipal Court via the Citty Attorney’s office. Some Courts and/or City Attorney’s may have policies in place that disallow such a negotiation, while others may actively welcome it.

Clark County may also have other court jurisdictions, which you can view by visiting our court directory.  Our directory will provide direct links to other courts in various counties.

Traffic Ticket Searches and Warrant Status, Warrant Search

If you need information or a status of your pending citation or to check to see if you might have a bench warrant, many of the courts have this information accessible online. If an online search link has not been provided for the North Las Vegas Municipal Court, then it is suggested that you call the clerk directly for the status.

MUNICIPAL COURT

Each incorporated city in Nevada has a municipal court. Like the justice courts, the municipal courts have limited jurisdiction; in general, they hear cases involving civil and misdemeanor violations of city ordinances, nuisance abatement cases, and cases involving $2,500 or less where the city is the plaintiff. The municipal court is presided over by a municipal judge (or, as provided by some city charters, multiple judges). Judges may be either elected by the city’s voters, or appointed by the mayor with consent of the city council, as determined by city ordinance. The term of elected judges is set by the city charter or ordinances. In some cities, instead of electing or appointing a judge, the applicable justice of the peace serves ex officio as the municipal judge.
