Charged with Possession of Firearm by Prohibited Person at Henderson Detention Center?
Freedom First defends Possession of Firearm by Prohibited Person cases (NRS 202.360) booked through Henderson Jail and the Henderson Justice Court. Prohibited-person firearm charges combine possession proof with status proof (prior felony, DV conviction, etc.). Suppressing the firearm or attacking the prior often dismantles the State's case.

What Possession of Firearm by Prohibited Person (NRS 202.360) actually means
Under Nevada law, Possession of Firearm by Prohibited Person is classified as a non-violent felony. The State must prove every element beyond a reasonable doubt — and that's where defense work begins.
When the booking happens at Henderson Detention Center, the case typically routes through Henderson Justice Court or Henderson Municipal Court or Clark County District Court. Henderson uses its own bail schedule for city ordinance and misdemeanor charges; felonies are referred to Clark County District Court.
