Alan J. Golden Attorney at Law - Shreveport, LA

Powerful Criminal Defense Representing Northwest Louisiana

When you are accused of a crime, your entire future hangs in the balance. Louisiana is known for having some of the toughest sentencing guidelines in the United States, meaning even a first-time misdemeanor or drug accusation can result in severe, life-altering penalties. During these high-stakes times, you need to find a lawyer who has spent decades inside the local courtrooms and fully understands how the other side thinks. Alan J. Golden Attorney at Law has provided robust and fearless criminal defense representation in Shreveport and the surrounding communities for over forty years, building an exceptional track record of not-guilty verdicts and dismissed charges.

Inside Knowledge from a Former Prosecuting Attorney

Before launching his defense practice, Alan Golden served as an assistant district attorney, giving him invaluable first-hand knowledge of how prosecutors construct their cases, gather evidence, and present arguments to a jury. He also served as the Chief Counsel for the Caddo Parish Public Defender's Office for seventeen years, managing some of the most complex felony cases in the region. This combined experience means our legal team is skilled at finding weaknesses in police reports, identifying constitutional violations during arrests, and crafting defense strategies that force the prosecution to reconsider their position. If you urgently need a lawyer to protect your rights, we stand ready to put this deep institutional knowledge to work for you.

Respected Authority in Complex Sex Crimes and Drug Defense

Accusations involving sex crimes or drug offenses carry immense social stigma and the potential for mandatory minimum prison sentences, as well as lifelong registration on the sex offender registry. In the Louisiana legal community, Alan Golden is recognized as a leading authority on sex crimes defense. He never shies away from taking on difficult, sensitive cases and is frequently invited to lecture at statewide legal seminars, teaching other defense attorneys his successful trial preparation and cross-examination strategies. Whether you are facing charges for drug possession, distribution, sexual assault, or internet crimes, we provide the aggressive advocacy you need to protect your freedom and reputation.

Strategic DUI and DWI Defense

A drunk driving charge can happen to anyone, but the consequences-including license suspension, heavy fines, and potential jail time-are far from minor. We conduct exhaustive investigations into every DUI and DWI arrest, examining whether the law enforcement officer had reasonable suspicion to pull you over, whether the field sobriety tests were administered correctly, and if the breathalyzer or blood test equipment was properly calibrated. We work tirelessly to have your driving privileges restored and protect your clean record.
