Aggressively Seeking the Best Possible Outcome in Your Criminal Case
At our New Orleans law firm, we defend your rights at every stage of a criminal case. Our main goal is always to help you obtain the best possible outcome. Depending upon the facts in your case, a good outcome might be dismissal of the charges against you, a reduction of your charges, a favorable plea agreement, an acquittal at trial, or alternative or reduced sentencing options.
While we are working to defend you, we want to make sure that you understand the criminal justice process and what is happening at all times. We will work to guide you through a difficult situation with the least amount of confusion and worry. We place a high value on establishing a close attorney-client relationship, because we believe that mutual trust is important to providing effective representation to you in criminal cases.
