A Defense Built Around Your Case, Not a Template
Every client meets directly with Attorney Chandon Alexander. Before any strategy is set, he reviews the police report, the body camera footage, the lab results, and your account of what happened. The defense plan comes out of those facts and out of what matters most to you, whether that is your job, your license, your immigration status, or simply staying out of jail.
The court system in Washoe County moves a high volume of cases, and many defendants are steered toward a quick plea before anyone has questioned the evidence. Chandon does not accept that pace when it works against you. He files motions to suppress, presses the District Attorney’s Office on weak cases, and is ready to take a case to trial when a fair offer is not on the table.
You will also get straight answers. Whether you are looking at a misdemeanor with a possible fine or a felony that carries prison time, Chandon will tell you plainly what the evidence shows, what outcomes are realistic, and what each option means for you.
Cases are often won on details: a traffic stop without reasonable suspicion, a breath test device past its calibration date, a gap in the chain of custody for a blood sample, or a witness statement that changed between interviews. Chandon looks for those details in every file, because they are frequently what turns a conviction into a reduction or a dismissal.
If you have been arrested or think you are under investigation in Reno, call before your first court date. A confidential consultation with Chandon Alexander costs nothing and gives you a clear picture of where you stand.
