False Arrest and Wrongful Conviction Lawyers in Metairie Fighting Aggressively for the Fair Treatment of Our Clients Throughout Louisiana

Having your civil rights disregarded and violated can be hard. For many people that have been falsely arrested or wrongfully convicted of a crime, that situation is a reality. It might be a reality for you or a loved one, as well. False arrests and wrongful convictions can have an enormous impact on your life. A false arrest can lead to prison time and other legal consequences. A wrongful conviction can have you serving years in jail and even affect your life after you are released. With so much on the line, it is critical that you take action to protect your rights and freedoms. Reach out to our law firm so we can begin putting together a viable case to get you the most beneficial outcome possible.

Can I Be Compensated for a Wrongful Conviction?

Generally, some wrongful conviction cases are a direct result of the district attorney and law enforcement colluding together to protect each other and advance their own interests. Other times, disinformation sways the jury one way or another. In any case, if you have been wrongfully convicted of a crime, you may face significant consequences in the future, even if you are exonerated. From being unable to find a job to facing unnecessary fines and fees, you can incur many losses just from a wrongful conviction. You may be entitled to compensation for having to deal with those consequences. Be sure to consult with a wrongful conviction attorney from our law firm to work through the specifics of your case and get you the best results possible.

What Evidence Can a False Arrest Lawyer Use to Win My Case?

A false arrest can stem from an abuse of power by a police officer. Renegade police officers can often antagonize those they have stopped or pulled over to give them the right to use force against you. Through a series of events, you may now be arrested for something like resisting an arrest, and it can be falsely corroborated by any other officers at the scene. However, having a law firm handling false arrests handle your case can allow them to conduct a separate investigation on the circumstances of your arrest. Using evidence such as body camera footage, dashcam footage, police records, and eyewitness testimony, your false arrest case can successfully get you the results you deserve while holding those responsible for your false arrest accountable.

Do I Need a False Arrest and Wrongful Conviction Lawyer for My Case?

Many people make the mistake of pursuing a case without the proper help to guide them along. Those with a higher authority, such as police officers, often have significant legal help, including the district attorney, to ensure they are not held liable for any wrongdoing. You should have someone on your team fighting for you to ensure you get the justice you deserve for your case. Our law firm has years of experience representing clients dealing with a false arrest or wrongful conviction, and we can help you bring your aggressors to justice.

What Should I Look For in the Right False Arrest and Wrongful Conviction Attorney?
