Robert Zentz & Erik Zentz

and outs of criminal and DUI law and tried hundreds of criminal and DUI cases. I soon decided that I wanted to defend people instead of trying to put them in jail, so I switched sides.

As a prosecutor and as a defense attorney I have had the opportunity to take thousands of cases to trial, winning often. I love going to trial and being in court, that’s why I have ultimately chosen to be a criminal defense attorney.

Another thing that I love to do is getting to play rugby. I am on the local Las Vegas team, the Las Vegas Blackjacks. Rugby is a tough, competitive sport which cultivates a never give up attitude, which I apply to my performance for my clients.

I love competition. I will compete in the courtroom for you as hard as I compete on the field. I will take that toughness and competitiveness from the field to the courtroom and in to trial and I won’t stop working until I get you the BEST possible result.

If you or someone you love has been accused or arrested for a crime in Las Vegas don’t let it ruin the rest of your life by choosing the wrong attorney. I know Las Vegas and how good the people that live and vacation here are, and I will work hard to give you the BEST defense. As they say, “For the BEST defense call Erik Zentz.”

At the time I retired I was the supervising Attorney for the Criminal Division. As a prosecutor I had the reputation of being aggressive, knowledgeable, and fair. I was also part of the Henderson Municipal Court Veteran’s Treatment Program team that began in 2009. The Veteran’s Treatment Court works in conjunction with the VA to keep veterans out of jail and help them get back to being the law-abiding, productive person they once were.

I am a regular contributor on “Veterans Talk, The Forgotten Promise” a talk radio program that discusses all issues relevant to the military veteran community. The program airs on KDWN 720 AM in Las Vegas and Fox Radio talk KKFT 99.1 FM in Reno live at 1200 to 1400 Pacific time every Saturday. The program is also available online at www.kdwn.com.
I will provide all of our clients the highest level of service in all of our practice areas. I am especially passionate when it comes to working with and for military veterans and police officers. I represent clients in veteran disability compensation claims, military discharge upgrade applica-tions, labor and employment matters, compensation matters and criminal cases.
