Got a criminal charge?  Here are some answers to questions you may have:

 

• I just got arrested, what do I do next?
  • The first thing you need to do is contact a criminal defense attorney so the two of you can begin developing a strategy to minimize the damage.
• Should I wait until I get my court date to hire a lawyer?
  • No, that will not help you.  Let your criminal lawyer start helping now.  That’s what we do.
• What happens at the first court date?
  • The first court date is the Arraignment. You will just be notified of the charge and likely be advised by your attorney to enter a not guilty plea.
• Will my work find out about the arrest?
  • It depends if your employer runs random background checks, someone notifies them after seeing in the press, or if you have a duty to self-report.
• Will I get kicked out of school?
  • The type of charge you’ve been arrested for is important. More importantly, is how the case turns out. If we get it dismissed, you probably will not get kicked out of school.
• The police officer told me I passed the field sobriety tests. Why did he arrest me for DWI?
  • Because he lied to you. Officers are just trying to obtain evidence to support a DWI arrest and conviction. He figures that if he acts like your buddy, you will most likely take the breathalyzer.
• Will I lose my license for blowing over the limit?
  • You will have a temporary license for 30 days. Be sure to hire a DWI lawyer before then because there may be ways to keep you driving.
• Can I pay more money to get my charges dismissed?
  • Only in movies and TV shows. In real life, when defendants pay prosecutors for deals, prosecutors go to federal prison.
• Will I have to take drug tests for my new drug charges?
  • Probably. We always advise our clients to clean up for court.

Things to Know

1. A charge does not mean a conviction. The fact that you may have received a summons or been arrested does not mean you have been convicted. Convictions occur when someone pleads guilty or is found guilty at trial. Defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty. The prosecutor must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the crime. Criminal defense attorneys are necessary to try to prevent a conviction.

2. You may be able to avoid a conviction.  Even if you have a poor case, you still may be able to avoid a conviction. Experienced Baton Rouge criminal lawyers can help determine strategies to help avoid conviction by helping you complete treatment, rehabilitative and educational classes, community service, etc. These factors can be used to demonstrate to the prosecution that leniency should be considered.

3. The criminal justice process. The criminal justice process may seem very confusing to someone who has never dealt with it. Basically, it involves an arraignment, motions, pretrial status conferences, trial, and sentencing.  You need an experienced criminal defense attorney to lead you through the process. For more information see Louisiana Criminal Process.

 

How Can a Baton Rouge Criminal Lawyer help?

Every area of the world with people has rules and regulations guiding them. Every state has laws that the citizens need to live and abide by. Louisiana is known for having a tough criminal justice system due to its conservative values.

Carl Barkemeyer has made a career of helping those charged with crimes in Baton Rouge and Louisiana. He is a Baton Rouge criminal lawyer dedicated to ensuring the State and prosecutors don’t run over his clients. Many prosecutors don’t understand that defendants are people too.

As a Baton Rouge criminal lawyer, Mr. Barkemeyer helps his clients get past this and helps prosecutors get past their short-sided way of thinking.

 

If you are faced with a criminal charge, a Baton Rouge criminal lawyer can help in many ways.

Then, the attorney may inform you of the criminal justice process and what to expect. Experienced criminal lawyers will be able to tell you possible outcomes for your case if you are convicted. Your lawyer will then discuss the facts of your case with you. All possible defenses should be explored. In the event you have a poor case, an aggressive criminal attorney will work with you to develop a plan for treatment and/or other mitigation to provide to the prosecutor and/or court in hopes of reducing the impact of the prosecution. Baton Rouge criminal lawyer, Carl Barkemeyer, believes it is highly important to always keep the client informed of their case. Communication is paramount to a successful attorney/client relationship. The best attorney in Baton Rouge for your case can't help his client if he doesn't have good communication with the client.

 

Difference Between a Misdemeanor and Felony Charge

In Louisiana, a felony is a charge that may be punishable with hard labor. Typically, but not always, misdemeanors carry shorter sentences of up to six months in parish jail. Felonies have much longer sentence ranges. Misdemeanors do not include a right to jury trial, unlike felonies. Louisiana law does not provide for "classes" of misdemeanors. 

 

Lawyer in Baton Rouge

There are many benefits to hiring a lawyer in Baton Rouge if you have a case that will be in court in Baton Rouge or surrounding areas.  However, you must hire an attorney that you feel comfortable with and that you communicate well with.  Hiring who you’ve heard is the best lawyer in Baton Rouge or the lawyer your friend used doesn’t mean that is the correct lawyer for you. Lawyers are people too. Not all people get along with each other.  Often times you’ll hear someone say that they were unhappy with their lawyer but used him because the attorney did a good job for his friend or relative.  That’s because everybody communicates differently and every case is just different.  So, when you need a lawyer in Baton Rouge, talk to him/her about your case to see if you and the lawyer are a good fit.  Contact us at 225-964-6720 to see if our Baton Rouge lawyer is the right fit for you.

How to Know If You Need a Louisiana Criminal Defense Attorney

Being arrested or receiving a misdemeanor summons is the beginning of a very difficult journey for the accused. The charge can be burdensome and embarrassing.

Our Louisiana attorneys make sure the client understands everything he/she is doing and why. Mr. Barkemeyer believes that after he done with the case, the client should be able to go home and explain exactly what happened with his/her case and why. That understanding gives the client reassurance and confidence. After all, the client is paying a Louisiana attorney for that service.

 

How Much Does a Defense Attorney Cost?

The fees for a defense attorney in Louisiana may vary based on the type of case. Every case requires a certain level of skill and knowledge to provide effective representation. Hiring a lawyer that practices criminal defense 100% of the time like Carl Barkemeyer, Criminal Defense Attorney, may keep costs down because he doesn’t have to put down the personal injury case to figure out how to defend your drug charge.

He has been in the criminal courts all throughout Louisiana over and over.  The defense attorney’s experience and knowledge is the value you get when you hire a lawyer. You get what you pay for.

The seriousness and complexity of the charge are factors involved in the fee.

Things to Consider When Hiring a Criminal Lawyer in Baton Rouge LA

Around the globe today, there are numerous lawyers. Some are practicing, while others are not. Just like in every other profession, some lawyers are more competent and skillful and the others. As a result of this, many persons have bothered about what qualities they should look out for when hiring criminal lawyers in other that they may have a better chance in their quest for justice. This article not only contains answers to this but also give suggestions regarding where to find these competent criminal attorneys. Some major things to look out for when hiring criminal lawyers in Baton Rouge LA are:

 

1)  Skillful, quick, and effective research

Skillful, quick, and effective research is a very important thing to consider before hiring a criminal defense lawyer in Baton Rouge LA. A great lawyer must be able to carry out skillful, quick and effective research. This is because; cases arise from time to time. Sometimes, these cases have a very short time frame in which the lawyer can use in preparing for the case at hand. And in times like these, where a lawyer is not able to skillfully and effectively carry out a quick research, the case might suffer from lack of adequate preparation. And this could be detrimental to the case.  So, a good lawyer must be able to carry out quick and effective research. Though quick or speedy research is very necessary, that research would be useless if it is not effective. Effective research aids the case of the defense lawyer, thereby increasing his chances of winning the case. However, where a lawyer is quick at making research, but his research is not effective, one would be correct to say that such a Baton Rouge criminal lawyer is treading on the losing path. And this negative result can be avoided.

If you have a case in Baton Rouge, and you desire to hire the services of the best lawyers for your case and who are skillful, quick and effective researchers, reach out to Carl Barkemeyer and our criminal lawyers. You can be certain that our experienced defense attorneys would be glad to act in your behalf.

 

2) Audibility or powerful oral projection:

An effective lawyer must be audible. He must not only be audible in private but at all times as long as the case is concerned. His audibility must not be dependent on his comfort. He must not be a whispering or shy speaker.  This is because; his audibility would go a long way to determine the outcome of the case at hand. A defense lawyer who is not audible may not be said to be a good lawyer. One reason is that the ability of the judge to hear the case and the accompanying prayer of the lawyer is dependent on the audibility of the criminal attorney. There are other disadvantages that are tied to lack of audibility. And the one way to avoid these is by hiring the services of an audible defense lawyer. One place to find lots of brilliant and audible lawyers is at Carl Barkemeyer. At our criminal law firm, you can be sure to find orally sound and audible lawyers who are ever ready to convey your interest to the judge without any form of misconception whatsoever.

 

3) Analytical skills

The best lawyer must be very skillful in analysis. The ability to analyze the case at hand and come to a sound conclusion on the best way to go about the case can result in positivity. A lawyer who has poor analytical skills stands at risk of losing his case. So, lookout for a criminal defense lawyer who is a great analyst when hiring defense lawyers in Baton Rouge la. You can find a lot of skillful analytical lawyers at our law firm. And you can rest assured that only criminal lawyers who are great analysts would be at your service as soon as you reach out to the criminal lawyers there.

 

4) Good Judgment

Good judgment in this context means good foresight for lawyers. A criminal attorney without good judgment is not a good lawyer. Good judgment serves as foresight for lawyers. It can help a lawyer have a glimpse of how the case would turn out. Good judgment helps a lawyer to determine whether the clients have a good case or not. And where the client does not, good judgment would aid the lawyer in giving sound advice which would be beneficial and profitable to the client. Good judgment also helps one to avoid frivolous and unnecessary appeals. And this can save a lot of time, funds, and energy on the part of both the client and the lawyer. As regards good judgment, you can rest assured that Carl Barkemeyer would not let you down. The criminal lawyers at our law firm in Baton Rouge are known for applying good judgment during the cause of their everyday activities. All you have to do is, reach out to them and you would get a prompt response in return.

 

5) Creativity

Creativity is a very important aspect of the legal profession. The best lawyer must be able to ascertain what point he needs to do what, when he needs to say what, and at what point he needs to try what. Creativity is a very vital aspect of the legal profession. It serves as spice to the case at hand. A creative defense attorney stands a better chance of having a good case. A lawyer who is creative is bound to do better than a lawyer who is not.  So, it is best to be on the lookout for a creative lawyer and employ our services. If you ate finding difficulty in getting a creative criminal lawyer, reach out to the brilliant lawyers at our criminal law firm. We are creative.

 

6) Level of understanding

A great lawyer must be very understanding. This is because, during the cause of his profession, he acts on behalf of the people more than he dies on behalf of himself. These persons can either be clients or any other person. So, a great criminal defense lawyer must be able to understand the actions and resulting decisions of individual persons. He must be able to ascertain and understand his clients or any other person to whom he is rendering his professional services or any other service whatsoever. His ability to understand individual persons would go a long way to aid effective relationships and positive outcomes during the cause of carrying out his professional duty and after.

 

7) Persevering attitude

Perseverance is an essential quality that the best lawyer must possess. In other to get justice, a lawyer needs perseverance. Perseverance would help a defense lawyer remain persistent while handling your case. And this would erase the idea of giving up on the part of the lawyer and in the end, justice would not only be said to be done, but it would also be seen to be done because the Baton Rouge criminal lawyer persevered.
