If you've been accused, the actions you take immediately following your charges will influence your ability to build a strong defense. This charge involves extracting a natural drug or creating a synthetic chemical substance. This is the most common drug charge in Louisiana and can include possession of illegal drugs or intentionally possessing a prescription drug without a prescription.
Driving while intoxicated (DWI) is defined as operating any motor vehicle when under the influence of a controlled dangerous drug or with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 or greater. If you've been accused of driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated, it's imperative to retain an experienced New Orleans criminal defense attorney.
Increase your odds of getting your case dismissed or charges reduced. Retain a domestic violence defense attorney sooner rather than later. Being charged with any crime is a stressful experience, and you have a right to an attorney throughout the entire process. Attorney Joseph C. Bartels knows what it takes to explore all your options and help you each step of the way.
Probation is a form of punishment administered instead of incarceration, and it usually requires adherence to strict rules, completion of a treatment program, community service, and payment of fines and fees. For repeated or more severe violations, you could lose your privilege altogether and then will be responsible for serving the original sentence of your conviction.
A New Orleans traffic violations and offenses lawyer plays an important role in the outcome of your case after you have been accused of a traffic violation. It is a common mistake for people who have been accused of a traffic violation to assume that the matter can be ignored or paid without fully thinking through the consequences.

Mr Joseph was the only attorney who answered my emergency call at 10pm. He Talked with me over the phone about my boyfriends case for about thirty minutes.After the conversation I knew he was the one that would help us. I feel like I finally have some sort of hope after searching through so many different people. He also met with my boyfriend the next day to talk to him in person. Anyone who is in need definitely go to him. For the peace of mind alone is a blessing.

I was in last minute need of an attorney for a matter that occurred while visiting the city as a tourist. Thankfully, Mr. Bartels immediately sprung to action and represented me. I am forever grateful for his willingness to help on such a short notice and for his advice. Mr. Bartels always answers the phone/emails and is always willing to take time to explain every step of the process. Being out of town it truly put my mind at ease to have someone so experienced representing me - knowing he has my best interest at heart. Thank you, Mr. Bartels!

They immediately assured me that they were on the case and they were! The
