GET HELP NOWOur Practice Areas Include:
New Orleans DWI Lawyer
What you don’t know about the law could hurt you, especially in a DUI or DWI case. Did you know that you only have 30 days to file for the proper hearing before the Department of Motor Vehicles suspends your license? As your New Orleans DWI attorney, Lance J. Robinson can help you navigate these complex laws and work to get your charges reduced or dropped entirely.
Public Intoxication / Public Drunkenness
Many people don’t realize that you can face public intoxication charges in Greater New Orleans even if you’ve had little or nothing to drink. Our law office is prepared with years of experience to determine if you actually violated city or state law, if the police or law enforcement officer obeyed the law, or if there are discrepancies in the police reports or eyewitness testimony, any of which could lead to a dismissal of the charges against you.
Disturbing the Peace
In order to be convicted of disturbing the peace in Louisiana, the prosecution must show that you were purposefully or maliciously acting in a way that could disturb public order or lead to violence. Having defended hundreds of these cases, the Law Office of Lance J. Robinson is well equipped to fight these accusations.
Criminal Trespass
If you’re caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, you could face criminal trespass charges. Depending on the facts of your case, we can argue that there is not enough evidence to prove you trespassed or there was not an adequate indication that the property was private and your entry was unauthorized.
Lewd Conduct
No matter what the details of your case are, lewd conduct is an embarrassing charge that can negatively impact your future. Even public urination can land you an unsavory lewd conduct charge in New Orleans. The Law Office of Lance J. Robinson has defended hundreds of people who have faced lewd conduct charges, and the majority of our clients are able to get their charges reduced or dismissed entirely with our help.
Criminal Damage to Property
Criminal damage to property charges vary wildly based on the amount of damage caused. This dollar amount could be the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony. Our law office is experienced in defending against both misdemeanor and felony charges, and our goal is to work with you to get these charges reduced to a minimal fine and court costs or dropped if possible.
Simple Battery
Simple battery is considered a violent crime in New Orleans, resulting in harsher penalties. You could face a fine of up to $1,000 and spend up to 6 months in prison. With these consequences on the line, you can’t afford to fight simple battery by yourself. The Law Office of Lance J. Robinson has the expertise to review your case, work to get your charges dismissed or reduced, and develop an aggressive defense.
Domestic Abuse Battery
Domestic abuse is more serious than simple battery, but facing this charge doesn’t mean you have to write off your future. Based on the circumstances of your case, domestic abuse battery can either be charged as a felony or a misdemeanor. In both cases, you face substantial fines and jail time. Our law office can represent your interests and fight to get your charges dismissed or reduced, whether you live in Greater New Orleans or you are visiting from out of town.
Speeding / Traffic Tickets
Don’t pay a speeding or traffic ticket because you think it’s the easy way out. New Orleans and the surrounding parishes are always updating the traffic laws, and many residents are unaware of these changes. If you’ve received one too many traffic tickets, you could face bigger fines, higher insurance costs, or even the loss of your driver’s license. That’s why it’s imperative that you secure the services of an experienced New Orleans traffic ticket attorney.
Expungement
If you have ever been convicted of a crime, it can show up on background checks and disrupt your career, housing, and future. Even if your charges are dropped, the arrest can still be found on your public record. Expungement is the only true way to have your record wiped clean, and our law office has extensive experience helping clients from all walks of life start over with a blank slate.
As an experienced New Orleans criminal defense attorney, Lance J. Robinson can represent your case in any of these practice areas and more. We defend against a variety of municipal charges for clients throughout Louisiana.
