Oliver Hadley is a horrible lawyer didn't show up for court, and I had to travel from Chicago to finish the job. Mr. Hadley never once had the courtesy it to return my phone calls after receiving full payment.

My partner needed an attorney to file an eviction so I recommend Mr. Oliver Hadley based his reviews. We never met Mr. Hadley because we live in Chicago so we spoke with him several times a day concerning the case, and he sent an e-contract to sign electronically along with a form to submit payment.
Once he received full payment he slowly stopped communicating, as we tried several occasions to contact him but he wouldn't reply until two weeks later. Twice the court date was set but Mr. Oliver Hadley never showed up, and always made up excuses for his absence. My partner and I finally drove to New Orleans for the court hearing, completed the filing of motion ourselves and informed the Judge the situation of being ripped off by this attorney. I differently would not recommend Mr. Hardley has reported him to the law board.

I am the alleged victim of a crime, but I do not believe that the charges reflect the events on the night that the defendant was arrested and feel uncomfortable with the fact that he is being prosecuted.
After several months of trying to convince the prosecution not to go forward with the charges, and of contacting the public defender’s office to no avail (in hopes of communicating with the defendant’s attorney and gaining some insight into how I might be able to share my version of events, which was not reflected in the police report), I had become quite desperate.
While financial reservations had initially dissuaded me from contacting a private defense attorney, I decided that I should, at the very least, look into the cost of a consultation.
I left a message on Stephen Hebert’s voicemail at the ungodly hour of four in the morning, expecting that I would wait several days before hearing back from an employee, if at all. But, to my great surprise, Attorney Hebert himself called me back within an hour and half. He did not take me through a lengthy intake process or require me to schedule an appointment, he simply asked if I would like to do a free phone consultation then and there.
I anxiously explained my story at some length, and he listened patiently and then spoke with me for almost 2 hours about various aspects of the case, and about the practical implications, and potential benefits and risks of submitting a sworn affidavit recounting my version of the events (I told him I had been considering doing this).
Given that he was not representing me, he was not in a position to tell me what I should do. But he answered all of my questions and familiarized me with a range of possible outcomes, drawing not only upon his legal knowledge but upon his practical knowledge of how things tend to work “on the ground” in Orleans Parish, where my case is being heard.
I left the call with a sense of peace and agency that I have not been able to achieve for months, simply by virtue of Attorney Hebert’s willingness to explain things to me in a way that I could understand. Although he did not represent me, his timely and generous handling of my questions and concerns speaks volumes to the kind of person he is, and to how he treats his clients. I highly recommend.

Melanie Leavitt came highly recommended by a friend who has two disabled children. Melanie is caring, honest and knowledgeable about SSI and Adult Disabled Children with Social Security. Although our case was not currently eligible for either program, Melanie was able to direct us to programs that could help us locate employment, provide further educational resources etc. Melanie genuinely cares about people and their handicaps and disabilities. Thankfully, the world has people like Melanie who are willing to help! Highly recommend!

10/10 service from Mr. Domingue! We truly thank God for leading us to him. Our initial conversation was straight to the point and with confidence he told us what he expected from us and also what we could expect from him. Now that everything is all wrapped up and done with, I can surely say he delivered on all his promises. What a blessing he was to me and my family!

From my experience was about the worse choice I could have made for an attorney. Didn’t fight hard at all for me. I ended up having to plead my case and talked more than she did. Honestly maybe better off if it’s just a cut and dry sort of situation but if there’s any sort of disagreement between two parents this is not at all the place to go. Spent thousands of dollars and couldn’t have been anymore disappointed.

Jean-Paul is an amazing attorney he worked really hard to get my record expunged! He didn’t over charge me and he kept in touch with me during every situation. It’s because of him that I’m currently working my dream job. He’s the one to turn when you need legal help.

Anne was to work with. While custody battles are not a pleasant process, she was able to make the transition a bit easier. Navigating through the process is challenging and while every case is different, she was able to work through the most important priorities.
Highly recommend working with Anne!

I received with my case, especially when it seemed like no one else cared or thought it was worth their time. The Chopin Law Firm fought long and hard so that I could get some financial closure. They always made me feel like my unfortunate injury that occurred while I was visiting New Orleans was important and mattered. I highly recommend this firm because you can trust that they actually care and want to help.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction. -
How many cases have you taken to trial?
While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial. -
Who will handle my case?
Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work. -
How do you communicate with your clients?
Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
