The Law Office of Peyton B. Burkhalter is here to assist if you have been in an accident which was caused by the negligence or intentional behavior of another individual or company. Personal injury can occur in many different ways. When you are injured in an accident you naturally have questions. The question is often posed, when I should hire a personal injury lawyer.
You should realize that in addition to the criminal charge of DWI/DUI, your driving privileges will also be affected by your arrest. There are certain time limits within which to act to secure temporary driving privileges and to obtain information needed to challenge the suspension of your driving privileges.
Most people believe that because you are arrested that you have been charged with a crime. This is incorrect. The arrest is merely the initial stage of the potential prosecution of a crime. However, it is the most important stage for you. Early intervention by a criminal lawyer can assist you with not only protecting your rights but securing witnesses, evidence and dealing with the police and district attorney.

Pete has been my personal attorney for the last 10 years. On the rare occasions I've needed an attorney, he is the first person I would consider in the New Orleans area. Pete has always been available to discuss my issues, provides great counsel and is precise in his follow up. When it has come to negotiations, I have always felt Pete had my personal interest at heart. Highest marks for Pete and his work.

A friend referred me to Pete Burkhalter and I am glad for it. Pete was swift and efficient in handling my case and needs. Even more valuable to me was the time and patience he showed me when I needed it to navigate the difficult experience of going through an auto collision with physical injury. He has my full confidence and was a tremendous ally to have in my corner.
