Few things are worse than being arrested and charged with a crime. Suddenly, your future is on the line. You need an experienced criminal defense lawyer you can count on.

We maintain a small caseload to ensure we can deliver the necessary attention to help you obtain a favorable outcome.
In Louisiana, it is illegal to drive a car while under the influence of alcohol. Louisiana law states that having a blood alcohol percentage of 0.08 or higher will result in a DWI charge. If you were arrested under suspicion of DWI, you could face having your vehicle confiscated, jail sentencing, license suspension, and more.
Your driving privileges are not the only thing that will be taken away upon a felony DWI conviction. You may lose your freedom, job, relationships and positive reputation. Few things are more important than your liberties and livelihood, so it's crucial to protect them at all costs. A felony DWI charge must not be treated lightly, as it has the power to destroy the life you have worked so hard to build.
DWI charges are harsh enough, but if a DWI resulted in an injury or death, the penalties are more severe. You can't depend on just any legal team to protect your best interests in this type of case. You need award-winning lawyers who can compel a jury to believe you are innocent through effective defense strategies and articulate communication.
When you are arrested for a DWI in Louisiana, you immediately have two cases against you. The first is the driver's license part of your case. The second is the criminal case, which will be prosecuted by the City Attorney or District Attorney's Office.
The LA Office of Motor Vehicles will attempt to suspend your driving privileges if you either failed a breath test (.08 or greater), refused to provide a sample of your breath or blood when requested by a law enforcement officer, and/or if you have waited longer than 30 days to create a Louisiana DMV hearing appointment.It is important to have a skilled defense attorney on your side.

If you're looking for a good attorney, Thomas Dewey is you're guy. I never had to wonder once what was going on with my case, or try to run him down for answers. Anytime anything changed, or any updates, he called me as soon as he knew. He was very professional, and made me feel like I was his only client, and top priority. Definitely recommend, and I personally will never use another attorney as long as Mr. Thomas is practicing.

I was in regular contact with Tommy in the months leading up to my court hearing. He and Hallye were extremely helpful. I was able to view my files on the client portal and communicate freely. Tanya was amazing as well. I always had my calls returned, my questions answered, and most importantly I walked in with a felony and left with probation.

An awesome online system with all updated information on it. Attorney Braud is all about the best interest of her client. She knows her work and does it well. She is my took pick, and in the end we won the case. If you are looking for awesome attorneys I highly recommend them.

This is a phenomenal law firm to say the least. While this was an out of state case, Hallye Braud and her team were with me every step of the way. She explained everything to me in laymen's term and answered all my questions (and I had plenty). Their dedication and diligence to my case yielded in a victory. They won the appeal and my case was dismissed! I would highly recommend this firm!

Ended up with a bench warrant for missing a court date I didn't even know I had. Then my license got suspended around the same time the COVID-19 pandemic broke out. I had no idea how I was going to get everything straightened out, but Dewey & Braud were able to handle everything for me and made the process very smooth. They got one of my charges expunged, and the other knocked down to a non-moving violation. Hallye was very kind and responsive to any questions I had. She really helped me feel at ease about getting my first warrant, and I knew I was in good hands. Hopefully I won't be in need of

My experience is one that is hard to explain in words. Dewey and Braud has been above my expectations by a mile. It didn’t matter at what time of the night, if I had questions they got answered. On top of that, you can tell the respect they have with judges and other lawyers. When Tommy Dewey walks in the court room, they know the best in the business has arrived. He made me feel confident and I’m completely satisfied with my results. This is the best firm in Baton Rouge who are fair priced and is after justice and not your pocket book.

I was referred to Hallye by another lawyer who was a bit too busy to take a case. Hallye was extremely professional and helped with two cases of mine. She was able to work with the courts to reduce my violations. She is very accessible, and when she's busy, her paralegal is super sweet and helpful. Hopefully I'll never have to call her again - but if I come into another situation in Louisiana, I know she can help!
