Discuss the alleged crime with the police. While it’s important to cooperate with the police, do not admit to anything regarding the crime or try to argue your charges. If you try to argue with the police, you may face more severe charges and other penalties. We can’t stress enough that anything you say can be used against you in court.
Wave legal council and represent yourself. Even though misdemeanors are lesser criminal offenses, the penalties can still be severe. The legal process is extremely complex, especially in Louisiana, so you need an experienced criminal defense attorney that understands criminal law representing you. Your attorney from the Greenwald Law Firm will protect your rights and do whatever it takes to get your charges dropped or dismissed.
Talk about your case with anyone. Your criminal defense attorney will tell you who you can and cannot discuss your case with.
