Baton Rouge DUI/DWI Defense Attorneys

More than 20 years of Criminal Defense Experience

At the Baton Rouge law firm of Manasseh, Gill, Knipe & Bélanger, we explore a variety of angles to challenge drinking and driving charges. The criminal defense attorneys at our law firm investigate drunk driving charges focused on addressing pressing questions, including:

  • Did the police officer have a valid reason to make a traffic stop?
  • Were your Miranda rights properly explained?
  • Was the field sobriety test too subjective?
  • Did law enforcement make any procedural errors?

The criminal defense attorneys at our firm offer sound legal advice and aggressive defense to clients facing drunk driving charges in Louisiana. We have substantial experience successfully challenging Breathalyzer test results, field sobriety tests and evidence from blood tests. We fight for charges to be dismissed or greatly reduced if law enforcement made any mistakes. Contact our law firm online or call us today at 225-383-9703 to schedule a consultation.

You Are Innocent Until Proven Guilty

In Louisiana, the penalties for a drunk driving conviction recently became even more serious. Individuals who would have been charged with a misdemeanor in the past are now facing felony DUI charges.

If you were arrested for a DUI, we are committed to helping you avoid or minimize the negative consequences of a conviction. In addition to possible jail time, your insurance rates could skyrocket or your policy could be cancelled. Your driver's license may be suspended or revoked. If you can't drive, you may end up losing your job.

Whether you are facing misdemeanor or felony DUI/DWI charges, the lawyers at our firm will mount an aggressive DUI/DWI defense strategy to the full extent of the law and our considerable abilities.

We will manage all aspects of your DUI/DWI defense. This includes scheduling a hearing before the Louisiana Department of Public Safety (DPS) to fight to keep your license, seeking dismissal of the charges against you and even fighting to clear your record. We will share all aspects of the case with you so you understand what your options are and what to reasonably expect.

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.
