Common questions

Covington DWI, Criminal Defense & Injury FAQs

Still unsure? Call and ask. There is no charge for the conversation.

Do I need a lawyer for a DWI first offense?

Louisiana treats a first-offense DWI as a real conviction with license, insurance, and record consequences even when no one is hurt. An attorney can review the stop, the testing, and the paperwork for issues before you decide how to plead. Our Covington DWI lawyers regularly appear in the 22nd Judicial District Court and Covington City Court on first-offense cases.

Many misdemeanor and some felony convictions and arrests in Louisiana are eligible for expungement, but eligibility depends on the charge, how the case ended, and how much time has passed. The only way to know for certain is to have your record reviewed by an expungement attorney.

You have the right to remain silent, the right to decline a search without a warrant, and the right to an attorney before answering questions. In St. Tammany Parish, bond is often set before family members even learn where their loved one is being held talk to a Covington criminal defense lawyer early.

Cost depends on the charge, the court, and how much work the case needs, so a traffic misdemeanor and a felony trial are priced differently. We offer a free initial consultation so you can hear your options and the likely cost before committing to anything.

In Louisiana, only the District Attorney not the alleged victim has the authority to dismiss a domestic violence charge, even if the accuser wants it dropped. A domestic violence defense lawyer can still raise evidentiary issues, negotiate, or push for dismissal where the facts support it.

Settlement value depends on medical bills, lost wages, vehicle damage, and the severity and permanence of your injuries. There is no set number a Covington car accident lawyer can evaluate your specific damages and negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf.

Call 911, get medical attention even if you feel fine, and document the scene with photos if you’re able. See a doctor promptly afterward insurance companies often use a treatment gap to argue an injury wasn’t serious or wasn’t caused by the crash.

You can file a workers’ comp claim on your own, but insurers routinely dispute claims, delay payments, or downplay injuries. A workers’ compensation attorney costs nothing upfront and can step in if your claim is denied, delayed, or undervalued.

Louisiana premises liability law requires proving the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to fix it. The value of a claim depends on your injuries and the property owner’s fault a free case review can tell you where you stand.

Louisiana law allows a spouse, child, parent, or sibling of someone killed by another’s negligence to file a wrongful death claim. These cases have strict filing deadlines, so it’s worth speaking with an attorney as soon as possible after a loss.
