Criminal Defense Representation
Bad things happen to good people all the time. Being accused of a crime does not mean you are guilty. Hiring a qualified, seasoned defense attorney will guarantee that your case gets the attention your case requires. I have been practicing criminal law for the entirety of my career and have been on both sides of the aisle. I have experience with many types of cases from traffic tickets to murder trials. As a former prosecutor, I know how to evaluate the evidence and prepare your strongest defense. As a criminal defense lawyer, I understand the anxiety and stress this event will produce. I can help you navigate this process with the least amount of pain and difficulty possible.
If you have been arrested, you need a lawyer who knows how to hit the ground running. From the very beginning of your case certain steps need to be undertaken to make sure that you receive the best defense possible. Waiting too long after you have been arrested can negatively impact your case and make it very difficult to mount a meaningful defense on your behalf. When you are accused of a crime time is of the utmost importance. We may need to obtain security camera footage, witness statements, or photographs of the scene. We may need to file emergency legal filings in order to limit the evidence against you or to exclude it entirely.
As a former prosecutor I am keenly aware of the process that a prosecuting attorney’s office will take against you. Having that sort of experience on your side can help minimize your exposure in criminal cases. It also gives us an edge in negotiations on your behalf should we decide a plea negotiation is in your best interest. My relationships with the Courts and District Attorney’s throughout the Greater New Orleans Area help my clients receive the best outcomes in their cases.
