Defending Clients Facing Federal Charges in Louisiana

For more than 20 years, the criminal defense attorneys at our firm have represented clients accused of committing a wide range of federal crimes, including:

• Drug crimes — such as importation of controlled substances, conspiracy to traffic illegal drugs, manufacturing or cultivation of marijuana and possession with intent to distribute large quantities of illegal drugs
• White collar crimes — such as embezzlement, fraud, money laundering and crimes under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Act (RICO), including allegations of blackmail and extortion
• Weapons violations — such as transporting illegal firearms, possessing a firearm to commit a crime or using a firearm in connection to drug trafficking

We have an extensive background defending clients accused of using firearms to commit federal narcotics crimes. The penalties become even more serious when federal gun laws are violated in connection to drug crimes. Many federal charges carry stiff minimum and mandatory statutory sentencing guidelines.

The criminal defense attorneys at our firm will fight to overcome this challenge through uncovering any weaknesses in the government's case against you. We will devote substantial time analyzing the evidence obtained against you, interviewing key witnesses and preparing for trial. Our firm consults credible investigators and experts to reveal any contradictions or lack of evidence from the prosecution to support a conviction. We are committed to preserving your constitutional rights.

Federal Illegal Re-entry Prosecutions

We believe Federal authorities are beginning to emphasize the interdiction, arrest, and prosecution of people in our community who do not possess valid citizenship or valid resident alien papers. Our lawyers have experience in defending persons who have been arrested and charged with being illegally in the country.
