Due to my charges, I was let go from my job. I hired Ben, because clearly the charges were more serious than I thought. Ben went to work for me! He is definitely an aggressive attorney, but in a good way. Ben went into the courtroom with professionalism and attacked. He beat the charges and helped me get my job back!

My son, an LSU student, got a DWI. Not being from the Baton Rouge area, my son asked around and EVERYONE said get Ben LaBranche. So we did. He was working on the DWI case when my son got into an altercation and was charged with a felony. Ben worked both cases simultaneously and we could not have asked for a better outcome! He got the DWI case dismissed through diversion and got the felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor. He always answered my calls or either called back shortly. He is so nice and easy to work with and affordable. I would highly recommend him if you find yourself in a bad situation like my son did. Hopefully we won't need an attorney again, but if we do he will be the first person we call. I am so thankful for what he did for us!

Always the best! Years ago, I found James by asking for who was the most successful public defender who then entered into private practice. I never forgot how he fought for me. He was the best in court and the best at supporting me through the process. I can't imagine anyone better.

Ben was always there for me - from the minute I hired him until well after I finished the PTI program. He answered every question I had in great detail and would offer sound solutions to any concerns I had. Even though it was all on my shoulders to follow through program to eradicate DWI, he would reach out at least once a month to check in on my progress. Amazing lawyer and an even better guy!

Ben goes beyond representing his clients. He helps them and fights for them. Having Ben on my side was the best decision I could have made for my case. The results were favorable for me and I can't say enough about what a great job he does. Hes a pit bull!!

Ben is an excellent lawyer. I am very grateful to him and am very happy that he got my case dismissed. He is a pleasure to work with - very kind and understanding. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

I highly recommend James Castle for all your criminal justice legal needs. He provided me with excellent representation, and on short notice. He returned my initial call in less than an hour!

I found Ben through a Google search I never been through the court system before. The phone that changed my life. Him and all of his staff answered every question. He gives you the pros and cons and all possibilities very honest but he followed through. If anything ever happens again this is the lawyer I want on my side and my loved ones side. He will help you out and let you have trust in judicial system again.

Ben LaBranche is kind, patient, and truly knowledgeable. From day one, LaBranche had a plan, he requested my commitment and, given time, we saw the felony charges dismissed, the sanctions dropped, and my arrest record expunged. I am now able to pursue my career objectives without the fear that a potential employer pass my file over because of a criminal stain. Ben LaBranche has empowered me, and for that I am truly grateful.

Jim and Liz are two of the best lawyers I know. I am an attorney myself. I found myself needing legal assistance for an issue in my own life and I asked them to represent me. They are the lawyers I turned to when I was seeking the best representation for myself. As expected, they did a great job for me. The matter was determined to be frivolous and dismissed, as I had hoped might happen. It was a very stressful experience. Throughout, Jim and Liz were like rocks. They were available when I had questions, they were knowledgeable about the area of law, they were well respected in the forum where we appeared and they were able to reassure me and keep me calm. I frequently refer clients to them because I know that the client whom I am referring will be treated with compassion, respect and most importantly, the person will receive excellent legal representation. They are everything you hope to find when you go to consult an attorney.
