In almost all misdemeanor, municipal and traffic cases I can represent a client in his or her absence (“in absentia”). This means that out-of-state clients who have an ongoing case in Louisiana may, if they desire, return to their home leaving the defense of their case to me. There is a negligible additional fee involved in representing a client in absentia.

A felony is a crime that is punishable by imprisonment of more than one year. Generally speaking, felonies are the most serious crimes, such as those that are either particularly heinous, involve dangerous weapons or threaten relatively high amounts of financial damage or harm to property. Additionally most drug possession cases are classified as felonies.

Nothing is worse than the feeling of helplessness that goes along with being arrested and jailed for a criminal offense. The experience can be confusing and overwhelming both for the person who has been arrested as well as their friends and loved ones. Almost certainly the first question for friends and family will be: “How do I get them out of jail?”
