As an experienced Truckee Lawyer, I have successfully represented clients throughout Nevada, Placer and Sierra counties for diverse cases including Driving Under the Influence (DUI), Drug Possession/Sales, Domestic Violence, Vehicular Manslaughter and Sexual Assault since 1999. For examples of cases, check out my defense attorney case history page.
In addition, as a Truckee Lawyer I have represented numerous clients in DMV Administrative Suspension Hearings, Probation and Parole Violation Hearings, Expungement of Convictions, and Reduction of Felonies to Misdemeanors. I am passionate about responsible and legal use of medical marijuana and strongly and fairly representing those who have been harshly punished by past marijuana laws and the legal system.

Services
As a full-service criminal defense attorney, I offer comprehensive legal representation and defense for virtually all criminal charges. Additionally, I provide my clients with a level of support not available from public defenders and many other criminal lawyers.
A DUI charge, for example, mandates a complicated series of steps by the defendant, the failure of any one of which to execute possibly resulting in higher fines, increased jail time and longer suspension of driving privileges.Unlike many defenders, I take the time to spell out to my clients exactly what they need to do and by when to ensure the best possible outcome, both when contesting charges and when pleaing out.

Alison Bermant fought for me. She took my case without hesitation and crushed it for me. It must be seriously difficult to handle everyone else's problems all the time, yet she welcomed me and listened to my entire side of the story. She took the panic out of my mind and we went straight onto moving forward and getting through a difficult time.
Below are only some of the successful outcomes for clients I have represented as a Truckee attorney. If you have any questions about these or other cases, please contact me. This is not a comprehensive list, and I plan on updating it continuously. Please view these cases as a representation of how I have successfully defended my clients as a conscientious and caring Truckee attorney.
Truckee defense attorney, Alison Bermant, explains the new law for 2021 that may substantially shorten the length of criminal probation. Will these changes affect someone you know? California has passed a sweeping new law dramatically shortening the period of probation for most crimes in California.
Alison Bermant has a proven track record as a DUI defense lawyer and has been successfully defending and assisting individuals charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs in the Truckee Lake Tahoe area since 1999. While it's certainly possible to do research and defend yourself, experience has shown that, in general, clients save money and time by hiring a knowledgeable lawyer that will represent your best case.
