Frequently Asked Questions
Why should an attorney be hired immediately after an arrest?
Right to legal representation is an available constitutional right which can be exercised the moment of arrest. An experienced lawyer can come up with a plan before the police take any statements, go over the case for legal or procedural mistakes, and start creating a solid defense right from the beginning
Will the case go to trial?
A negotiation (plea bargains) resolves many cases. Attorney Jarrett Ambeau is a trial lawyer with considerable experience (more than 50 felony jury trials to verdict) and is ready to argue before a jury if necessary to defend rights.
What are the primary stages of a criminal case in Louisiana?
Investigation, arrest, charging, initial hearing/arraignment, discovery (evidence sharing), preliminary or evidentiary hearings, plea bargaining, trial, sentencing, and possible appeals are the common stages of a criminal case. The Ambeau Law Firm offers vigorous representation in all of these stages.
How important is it to hire a local attorney?
The hiring of a local lawyer is a plus since they know the local judges, prosecutors, and court rules which helps in dealing with the legal system effectively.
What are someone’s rights if stopped by the police?
The people have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. These rights should be exercised courteously but assertively, and it is better not to answer questions of substance without the presence of a lawyer.
How does The Ambeau Law Firm approach a case?
The firm concentrates on thorough trial preparation from the beginning, employing a strategy tailored to the case’s unique circumstances to advocate for rights.
