Effective Defense Against Charges of Violent Crime

Murder and other violent offenses are often the result of misunderstandings that spiral out of control. Acts of self defense and bad decisions made in the heat of passion may also result in an arrest and criminal charge, such as:

  • Homicide
  • Manslaughter
  • Attempted murder
  • Assault and battery
  • Domestic violence
  • Weapons charges such as illegal discharge of a firearm, felon in possession of a firearm and aggravated battery

There are often defenses available to those who are charged with these violent acts that can effectively reduce these charges and even result in the finding of innocence. Our attorneys have a proven track record of success in aggressively defending our clients' rights, building a strong case to attack the prosecution's theory and providing our clients with ethical and effective representation in criminal trials and appeals.

Contact our offices in Baton Rouge today to discuss your options with an experienced Louisiana criminal defense lawyer.

Immediate Action is Vital in Serious Criminal Cases

The criminal justice system was founded on the principle that a person is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. We will work tirelessly to force the government to meet that very high burden.

Identification and other evidentiary issues may mean the difference in a not guilty verdict or a sentence of life in prison or even the death penalty. Recent exonerations based on DNA evidence have established beyond any doubt that innocent people have wrongfully spent decades in prison and may even have been executed.

Schedule a Consultation

It is imperative that a person falsely accused of a crime act immediately to seek the aggressive legal protection of an experienced and reputable attorney.

We handle all aspects of criminal law, personal injury, environmental law and family law

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.
