Areas of Practice
Krishna defends clients at every point in the criminal process, from the moment of arrest through trial, sentencing, and beyond.
Krishna's first move is to find where the government went wrong — unconstitutional searches, Miranda violations, Brady failures. When evidence gets thrown out, cases collapse.
Those who have seen him work describe Krishna as relentless, focused, and impossible to shake. That reputation is built on preparation and it shows every time a case goes to trial.
The case doesn’t always end at trial. Krishna helps clients decide what comes next and takes meaningful steps toward post-conviction relief when appropriate.
Krishna started with pro bono clients who had nothing. Winning against overwhelming odds with no support system forged the instincts he brings to every case today.
Not every case should go to trial. Krishna evaluates each case honestly and tells you exactly what the evidence looks like, not what you want to hear, but what you need to know.
Nevada State Bar. U.S. District Court of Nevada. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Colorado State Bar. Wherever your case goes, Krishna has the credentials to follow it.

When the government charges you with a crime, the full weight of the state is aimed at one outcome: a conviction. Krishna matches that intensity with relentless pre-trial preparation, aggressive constitutional litigation, and courtroom advocacy that the other side doesn’t forget.
A protection order can upend your life overnight. You can be removed from your home, cut off from your children, and stripped of your right to possess firearms before you have said a single word to a judge. Krishna represents clients on both sides of these proceedings.
A conviction follows you long after the sentence ends. Background checks surface it for jobs, housing, and professional licenses every time. Nevada law gives most people the right to seal that record. A sealed record is treated as though it does not exist for most purposes. Krishna handles these petitions and gets them done right.
A selection of outcomes Krishna has achieved for clients across Northern Nevada.
Charges carrying potential life imprisonment dismissed before the jury ever deliberated. The case dismissed for prosecutorial misconduct.
Jury hung on the felony charge. Rather than retry the case, the matter resolved as a misdemeanor — no felony record, no state prison.
Jury hung on the felony DUI charge. Case resolved as a DUI third — avoiding a much lengthier prison sentence.
Not guilty on the felony. Guilty on the misdemeanor only. The felony conviction, state prison, and its lifelong consequences were taken off the table.
Full not guilty verdict following a bench trial. The judge, as finder of fact, found the prosecution had not met its burden.
Not guilty on both counts following a full jury trial. A clean result across every charge the prosecution brought.
