"Life is long and strange and full of surprises, and when one of those surprises comes up, it's important to have someone you can trust. She's someone you can trust. Five stars isn't enough!”

~ Ben M.

Legal representation after criminal charges

When a person is charged with a crime, the stakes are high—especially for serious felonies like theft and violent offenses. Serious criminal charges can result in lengthy jail time as well as a revocation of one’s freedoms upon release. Some of the most common re-entry issues in the state of Louisiana and across the U.S. include:

  • Losing the right to vote
  • Losing the right to own or carry a firearm
  • Having difficulty finding a job
  • Denial into universities or trade schools
  • The revocation of professional licenses (cosmetologists, electricians, etc.)

Beyond losing these types of freedoms, an offender’s reputation might suffer because of the social stigma attached to criminal convictions.

Criminal Defense FAQ's

Hiring an attorney to represent you can make all the difference. An attorney will help you secure fair treatment under the law and ensure that you understand your rights throughout the entire process. The moment you are arrested, you should request to speak with an attorney. Speaking to law enforcement without legal representation should be avoided at all costs. A criminal defense lawyer will protect your rights during interrogations, plea deals, and if your case goes to trial.
