Louisiana Felony Charges Lawyer Nobody is ever prepared to see their loved one charged with a criminal offense, but these situations do happen. Facing criminal charges does not make the accused bad people — it just means they were not thinking before they acted or there was an outside influence. I am Lake Charles criminal law attorney Eugene A. Bouquet, and I believe that the accused are people, too. They deserve representation and a passionate defense.
More Than 30 Years of Criminal Defense Experience
Contact Eugene A. Bouquet TodayIf your loved one has been charged with a criminal offense and is now in jail, I will meet with you in my Lake Charles office so we can discuss what is going on. Looking at the particular charges and place of detention, I will help you explore your loved one's defense options. Next, I will go to the jail to meet with the accused in person to discuss his or her possible release and to start working on the defense. In the federal and state courts of Louisiana, crimes are divided into two categories based on the potential penalties: misdemeanors and felonies. Misdemeanor charges carry a maximum six-month sentence in parish jail, as well as heavy fines. A felony charge for a similar charge can carry a potential sentence of one year and a day at the Department of Corrections, while a major felony conviction could result in a lifetime prison sentence.  I am prepared to take on a wide range of felony and misdemeanor charges in the federal, state and city courts of Louisiana. If the D.A. will file charges, I will defend the accused against any of the following:
- Criminal fraud
- DUI/DWI
- Juvenile crimes
- Probation and parole violations
- Traffic violations
- Possession and production of child pornography
- Cultivation of marijuana
- Possession of illegal weapons
- Aggravated rape
- Felony criminal damage to property
With more than 30 years of criminal defense experience, I know how to handle hot-button cases that do not have a lot of room to maneuver. I am not afraid to take on tough cases that are more likely to go to trial. The D.A. has a responsibility to the public to find, charge and convict someone. It is my job to make sure that accused persons are treated fairly and their rights are protected. Drug ChargesMuch of my criminal defense practice is dedicated to federal and state drug charges, including trafficking, possession and cultivation. I also handle non-drug related offenses, such as theft, that involve drug use. I will explore your loved one's full range of rights and options, including treatment for drug addiction, to help lower the charges and minimize the damages.
