Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer New Orleans

Federal criminal cases are filed in United States District Courts. Some attorney websites proclaim, in ominous tones, that the differences between federal and state courts are so substantial that one would think such cases were instead filed on another planet. We do not isolate ourselves by limiting our practice to federal cases, as we believe that broad exposure to different ways of doing things is essential to the creative analysis of factual and legal issues and to becoming better lawyers who provide a better service to our clients in the process. The differences that exist between state and federal courts – in rules of procedure, rules of evidence, substantive law, and even in courthouse culture – are many, but are not so great or so complex that they cannot be leveled by experience. Moreover, while there are indeed differences between the two systems, the core ingredient for success in each is the same: outwork the other side.
