Mike leads a 6-lawyer "dream team" that was awarded the gold medal for the LVRJ's "Best of Vegas" best criminal defense firm for 2017, 2018, and 2020 and best DUI lawyer for 2020. Known as one of the premier criminal and DUI defense lawyers in the nation, Mike has been helping clients fight--and beat--their criminal and DUI charges for 27 years.
Attorney Michael Becker has taken more than 100 criminal cases to trial, securing dozens of "not guilty" verdicts and hung juries. He has achieved acquittals and/or dismissals in numerous serious felony cases, including murder, child abuse, rape, drugs and prostitution.
Even the police turn to Michael Becker for criminal defense representation when one of their officers gets accused of a crime: NAPSO (Nevada Association of Public Service Officers) is a client of Las Vegas Defense Group, LLC.
As a Las Vegas DUI lawyer, Mr. Becker has helped countless clients get charges dismissed, reduced to reckless driving, and avoid drivers license suspensions.
