Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I am arrested in Gretna?
Stay calm and do not speak to police without a lawyer present. You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. Contact a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your case and your options.
How long do I have to file a motion in a Louisiana criminal case?
Time limits vary by the type of motion. For example, a motion to suppress evidence must usually be filed before trial. Under Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure Article 521, the state must bring you to trial within certain time limits depending on the severity of the charge.
What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony in Louisiana?
