Baton Rouge Criminal & DWI Defense

Baton Rouge Criminal Defense Attorney

The Barkemeyer Law Firm are criminal defense attorneys in Baton Rouge. We have defended hundreds of clients in criminal court. Mr. Barkemeyer wrote the books on How to Defend Drug Charges in Louisiana and DWI: Practical Information for the Accused and Attorneys in Louisiana. He gives lectures to other lawyers regarding Louisiana criminal laws. Our goal is always to get the best deal for our clients, no matter what.

We provide legal representation to those who have received criminal misdemeanor charges and felony charges. We provide assistance with recalling bench warrants and handling arrest warrants. Our legal representation includes helping clients who received a charge from a summons or arrest. We can help from the earliest stages of a criminal case to the end.

Our Baton Rouge office differs from our other office locations in that the cases we provide representation for can be different than other cities in Louisiana. Baton Rouge is the capital city of Louisiana. Therefore, it lends itself to criminal cases that wouldn’t be in other cities of the state.

For example, the Attorney General’s Office prosecutes many crimes in which the State of Louisiana is the alleged victim in Baton Rouge only.  These are usually fraud cases such as Medicaid Fraud and Insurance Fraud. Also, the Louisiana DMV headquarters and Louisiana State Police headquarters are located in Baton Rouge. It is very helpful to our practice to be so close to the entities since we represent many clients for DWI and DUI. Additionally, because LSU is located in Baton Rouge, our defense attorneys represent many clients who are students at LSU. We also represent students, professors, and staff at LSU, Southern University, and Baton Rouge Community College.
