Criminal Defense

A DUI arrest in South Louisiana can feel immediate and overwhelming. You may be worried about your license, your job, and what happens next. What many people don’t realize is that the process starts right away—and if you don’t act, you can lose critical rights.

In Louisiana, your driver’s license is automatically suspended unless you request an administrative hearing within 30 days of your arrest. That deadline is strict. Missing it can mean losing your ability to drive before your case is even resolved.

We move quickly to step in, protect your license, and begin building your defense.

Protecting Your License and Your Record

A DUI case isn’t just one case—it’s two:

• A criminal charge in court
• A license suspension through the DMV

Whether your case is in Orleans Parish Criminal District Court, the 22nd JDC in Covington, or surrounding jurisdictions, we handle both sides. We guide you through options like:

• Requesting your administrative hearing within the 30-day deadline
• Applying for a DWI hardship license
• Navigating ignition interlock requirements (2026 updates included)

Our goal is to protect your ability to work, drive, and maintain your normal life while your case is pending.

Challenging the Evidence Against You

A DUI arrest is not the same as a conviction. Many cases depend on whether law enforcement followed proper procedures.

We examine every detail, including:

• Whether the initial traffic stop was lawful
• Whether there was an unlawful search or seizure
• Whether the Intoxilyzer 9000 was properly calibrated and administered
• Whether you refused a breathalyzer in Louisiana and how that impacts your case

If there are errors in how the evidence was collected, we use them to challenge the prosecution’s case.

A DUI can impact your license, your insurance, your employment, and your future opportunities. The sooner you act, the more options you have.
