Our Success is Based on Solid Experience and Hard Work

Frankly, our success in criminal appeals is due in large part to detective work and a thorough reading and insightful interpretation of the facts. Our thorough knowledge of the law, in-depth legal experience and effective writing and negotiation skills combine to enable us to provide passionate and effective appeals representation to our clients.

Our attorneys have the proven experience you can rely on in your appeal. We have successfully overturned a murder conviction in a precedent-setting case before the United States Supreme Court. This level of accomplishment indicates our firm's skill and dedication in providing high-quality criminal defense representation at all levels.

Communication and Accountability Throughout the Appeals Process

We will visit you in prison. We will communicate with you and keep you apprised of your case. We will send you copies of the motions we file. We provide you with the support you may have been lacking in your last trial. Above all, our lawyers take the time to get to know you and the circumstances of your case so that we can better make a compelling legal and personal argument for why your conviction should be overturned or you should be granted a new trial.

LAWSUIT DEFENSE
If you are sued, you need to act within a short period of time or a default judgment may be taken against you. If you're sued because of an auto accident or other matter that you have insurance for, you need to turn the suit over to your insurance company right away. If you're sued for something you don't have insurance for (such as collections, or a business or consumer dispute), you should hire an attorney. We defend people sued by finance companies, credit card companies, employees, employers, customers, etc.

TEACHERS
We represent members of East Baton Rouge Federation of Teachers and A+PEL, as well as individual teachers who have issues with their School Board involving tenure, assault pay, civil rights, etc.
