Practicing Criminal Law the Right Way

He also understands the importance of fully investigating and evaluating the evidence against his client while also securing evidence favorable to his client. Few of his cases actually go to trial because, as an experienced criminal defense lawyer in Minden, he knows how to negotiate the very best deals with prosecutors and judges on behalf of his clients.

As an experienced litigator, he’s respected in the courtrooms throughout north Louisiana by the district attorneys and prosecutors whom he deals with.
When it’s necessary to go to trial, Eric understands when it’s best to go in front of a jury or waive the jury trial and have the case heard in front of a judge. There are practically no crimes Eric has not defended or tried in Louisiana state court. Eric is also experienced in handling complicated drug and weapons cases in federal court.
Eric has successfully tried cases before both juries and judges, resulting in acquittals of his clients charged with aggravated rape, armed robbery, molestation of juveniles, felony DWI, aggravated second-degree battery, possession of cocaine over 28 grams and possession of cocaine marijuana with the intent to distribute. Eric is experienced in handling drug cases involving extremely large quantities of drugs. On many occasions, he’s defended clients charged with domestic violence, sex crimes, and murder.
