  • The G. Carter Law Firm is able to represent a wide range of criminal matters, including:
  • Murder: Defined as the killing of another human being, murder and homicide are some of the most serious crimes. Whether the act was intentional (murder) or unintentional (manslaughter), most defendants will be facing harsh penalties with the possibility of life imprisonment.
  • Drug Crimes: We can defend clients facing any type of drug crime involving any illegal substance. From possession, manufacture, to distribution, our team is well-versed in the latest defenses and changes to the laws.
  • Sex Crimes: Sexual offenses encompass a wide range of acts involving wanted sexual contact. Crimes that involve minors or serious injuries to the victim often lead to greater punishment and penalties.
  • Weapon Crimes: In Louisiana, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon without a permit. We can defend clients facing charges involving firearm offenses and other prohibited weapons such as explosives, switchblades, and other items.
  • Theft Crimes: When you take something of value from another person without their consent, either through fraudulent means or by force, you can be charged with theft.
  • Violent Crimes: Examples of violent crimes include murder, assault, battery, burglary, robbery, and any other acts involving physical force or the use of a dangerous weapon. You'll need aggressive defense to fight your charges.
  • White Collar Crimes: As financially motivated crimes, white collar crimes typically do not involve violence. If you are accused of financial fraud, corruption, or other related crimes, you will still be facing serious penalties.
  • Juvenile Crimes: Young people often get involved with the wrong crowd. The goal of our team is to protect your child's future by fighting to give him or her a second chance.
  • Misdemeanors: Misdemeanors are crimes that are punishable by no more than a year in jail. Examples of misdemeanors are simple drug possession, DUI, and other lesser offenses.
  • Felonies: Punishable by more than a year in prison, more serious crimes are usually charged as felonies. Such crimes include rape, violent crimes, and drug charges.
  • Federal Crimes: Federal acts are investigated by federal agencies such as the DEA, IRS, and FBI. You will be facing federal prosecutors and harsh sentencing if accused of a federal crime.

What Are My Rights If I Am Arrested?

No matter what crime you have been arrested for, you still have basic rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. It is important that you know your rights and how to conduct yourself when dealing with police officers.

You have the right to:

  • Remain silent – Don’t try to explain the situation or talk your way out of it. You are not obligated to disclose any information to the police, even though they may pressure you to do so. Just politely inform the officers that you would like to wait until your attorney arrives.
  • Know that your words can be used against you – The arresting officer must tell you that anything you say can be used against you in court.
  • Speak with an attorney – Ask to be able to speak with an attorney immediately. Call our criminal defense attorney can we can help you sort out the situation and defend you.

No one is above the law, including those who wear a badge. If any of your rights have been violated before, during, and after your arrest, be sure that you tell your attorney. This may play a significant role in your defense and affect the outcome of your criminal case.
