Welcome To Your Top DUI Defense Team In St. Tammany Parish
At the Labourdette Law Firm we mount the very best defense of your DUI and do everything possible to protect you driving priviliges. Listed below you will find a few of the strategies we will explore in our attempt to help you move forward from this humilating ordeal.
Making a Plea Bargain - If we can’t get the charges dismissed, then we can still minimize the damage to your record by getting a reduced penalty. Plea bargaining is an agreement between you and the state which results in the dismissal of the charges against you in exchange for your guilty plea to a lesser charge or a lesser sentence. We have been successful in getting prosecutors to drop DUI charges against several of our clients in which it was their first offense. We are experts in presenting plea bargins to a lesser penalty such as supervision and other non-jail penalties.
Challenging Your Blood Alcohol Test (BAC) - Labourdette Law Firm can provide you with a vigorious DUI defense event to the extent challenging the accuracy of the blood alcohol evidence with an expert witness. Police often use unqualified medical personnel to do its blood alcohol testing, improperly maintained testing equipment, or it fails to follow the proper procedures in collecting evidence. As expert DWI lawyers we will work to establish if there are any weaknesses in the prosecution's blood alcohol evidence.
Getting Your License Back- A driver’s license can be suspended for specified minimum periods of time once a driver is convicted of a DUI. However, once the license suspension period is over, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles will not simply send the license back to the driver. The driver must know when to request the license back, where to request it and how much it will cost (or can cost). Many drivers think they can simply start driving once the suspension period is over. Not true. There is a specific "reinstatement" process, with specific procedures and specific costs.
Personal Service - Personal timely sevice can be expected at the Labourdette Law Firm - If you have court in the morning in St Tammany in some cases we can appear for you and let you know the outcome. We can even pay your fines on your behalf and even up with you at a more conenient time.
