Defending Violent Criminal Charges in Louisiana

What can a criminal defense lawyer like Eric do for you? A Louisiana violent crime attorney is a prime asset in keeping you from experiencing the worst penalties imaginable following charges of a violent crime. A conviction for a violent crime carries a greater impact on a person’s life than any nonviolent criminal offense. If you are ever convicted of a violent crime in Louisiana, you could lose your right to carry or purchase a firearm legally. Additionally, a conviction can:

  • Impact child custody decisions
  • Prevent you from living in certain areas
  • Make it difficult to obtain higher education
  • Strip you of financial aid
  • Prevent you from pursuing a desired profession
  • Not be expunged from your criminal record

Misdemeanor and felony convictions can lead to severe penalties that can uproot your life and influence your future for many years to come. Generally, a conviction for a misdemeanor or felony violent crime can lead to:

  • Months to years in jail or prison
  • Steep fines and court fees
  • Probation
  • Counseling
  • Permanent criminal record

Your voting rights may also be impacted if you are convicted of a felony offense.

Attorney Eric Johnson holds over 27 years of experience practicing criminal law exclusively in the state of Louisiana. His firm conducts extensive reviews of the evidence against his clients, interviews witnesses and analyzes the conduct of investigators and arresting officers to confirm they followed procedures and did not violate the rights of his clients. He can do the same for you if you choose The John D. & Eric G. Johnson Law Firm, LLC to represent your case.

Violent Criminal Offenses in Louisiana

Several specific crimes fall under the umbrella term “violent crimes” in the state of Louisiana. Some of the most common violent crimes we defend include:

  • Assault and battery
  • Aggravated assault and battery
  • Murder/ Manslaughter
  • Domestic violence offenses
  • Sexual assault/ rape

Aggressive criminal representation is a must in cases involving violent criminal charges. These charges can completely change your life for the worse. When you are accused of a violent crime, you may be presumed guilty before all the facts are known.

Attorney Eric Johnson urges you to seek experienced, private representation and to avoid leaving the outcome of your case up to chance. An overworked public defender will not allocate the time and resources necessary to develop a foolproof defense strategy. Pick up the phone and call 318-377-1555 or contact us online for a free case review.
