When faced with criminal charges, nothing is more important than taking whatever measures are necessary to ensure you are not found guilty. That starts by contacting a skilled criminal defense lawyer. Criminal charges can quickly lead to a conviction without the proper defense. Hiring a knowledgeable and seasoned defense attorney to defend your interest and fight your charges will significantly increase your chances of winning your case and avoiding a conviction.

Many attorneys are simply a lot of talk, too expensive, and unresponsive to your needs. I believe in immediate action and results. I am available and respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Let me use my experience to guide you through the stress and confusion of the Louisiana criminal justice system.

I have the knowledge and skill to defend people against numerous crimes, such
as theft offenses, drug crimes, weapons charges, domestic violence, assault & battery, probation violations, sex crimes, violent crimes, homicides, murder, and many more. Upon conviction of these criminal charges, you will be sentenced to number of penalties that will negatively affect your life for years to come. Regardless of your specific charge, I can defend your rights, and help you get though this difficult time.

When should you hire a criminal defense attorney?

Anyone who has been arrested or charged with committing a crime will undoubtedly need the help of a New Orleans Criminal Defense Attorney. Many individuals facing criminal charges delay finding a qualified attorney until there is no other option, which can be a big mistake. There are undoubtedly many important things happening at once when charges are made that must be handled; however, the first thing that should be done is to find legal counsel. Most criminal defense attorneys would stress that the outcome of the case may very well depend on early attorney representation.

Researching and finding a good New Orleans Criminal Defense Lawyer as early in the process as possible is recommended when someone has been arrested and is facing possible criminal charges. This is especially true immediately after being arrested but before formal charges have been filed as many times attorneys can negotiate a dismissal before any charges are actually made. The key to taking advantage of such an opportune time is getting legal representation immediately after the arrest.

If charges have been made, it is still vital to find legal representation right away to improve having a more positive outcome. Any negotiating prior to authorization of charges, plea bargaining, or other discussion about dropping or lessening charges is more likely to happen in the early stages of a case rather than after charges have been finalized. A criminal defense attorney will know if there may be bargaining room with the prosecutor after hearing an account of the arrest as well as know how to proceed from that point.
