Aggressive Criminal Defense and DUI Protection

A criminal conviction on your record can lead to devastating, lifelong consequences, making it incredibly difficult to secure employment, rent an apartment, or maintain custody of your children. If a skilled criminal justice attorney is urgently needed to protect your constitutional rights, our legal team is prepared to take immediate action. We handle a broad range of felony and misdemeanor offenses, including:

• DUI and OWI Defense: We thoroughly examine breathalyzer calibration logs, blood testing procedures, and police conduct to challenge arresting officers and seek case dismissals or reduced penalties.
• Drug Crimes: From minor marijuana possession to high-level felony distribution and trafficking charges, we challenge illegal searches and explore strategic alternatives to incarceration, such as diversion programs.
• Violent and Property Offenses: We build aggressive defenses against charges of simple or aggravated battery, domestic abuse battery, burglary, and theft, ensuring your Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights are fully upheld.
• Expungements and Record Clearing: We guide eligible individuals through Louisiana's complex expungement process, helping you clear your record and secure a fresh professional start.

Caring and Professional Family Law Advocacy

Domestic relations disputes require more than just technical legal knowledge; they demand a high degree of empathy, tact, and calculated strength. Our family law practice, led by Attorney Kennedy McNemar, is designed to reduce the stress of restructuring your household while finding fair, practical, and long-term legal solutions.

Divorces, Child Custody, and Child Support Modifications

Our priority in child custody and child support disputes is always to secure a stable, loving environment that serves the best interests of your children, while ensuring that the Louisiana support guidelines are applied accurately and equitably to your financial situation.
