Lake Charles Defense Attorneys Steadfastly Standing Up for Clients Charged with Crimes

Going through the criminal justice system after being accused is never easy. As early as the investigation phase, you’ll be facing intimidating law enforcement officials determined on finding evidence linking you to the alleged offense. They might use various tactics to get a confession or cause you to say something that can be used against you. If the prosecutor gets the police report and determines sufficient evidence exists to pursue the matter, you must attend a series of pre-trial court hearings concerning your case. Then you must either negotiate with the prosecutor or go to trial to defend yourself.

The people and steps involved in a criminal case can make these matters overwhelming, and it can feel as if the system is stacked against you. Fortunately, you do not have to face this alone. You have the right to be represented by counsel at all stages. At Sudduth & Associates, LLC, our Lake Charles criminal defense attorney takes on misdemeanor and felony cases and is prepared to be your support from beginning to end. Led by a former prosecutor, we can give you detailed insights as to how the system works and what courses of action can be taken to seek a favorable outcome.

Compassionate Assistance Through Family Law Matters

Whether filing for a divorce, seeking child custody or a child support order, or requesting a protective order, the outcome of a family law case can have substantial impacts on you, your loved ones, and your future. That is why it is important to have a lawyer on your side, ready to protect your best interests. Our team can deliver the legal help you need. We handle these matters with sensitivity and discretion, focusing on doing what is right for our clients.

Any family law matter can be emotionally charged and exhausting. When you are trying to deal with the stresses associated with the situation, it can be difficult to know what steps to take next or how to keep everything in order. Our entire team of legal representatives and attorneys can relieve you of these burdens by attending to the details: whether that be the gathering and accumulation of evidence, the completion of all necessary documentation and paperwork in the correct format, or the building of a comprehensive legal strategy that will achieve your hoped for goals.

To achieve a just and fair outcome on your behalf, we are prepared to litigate your case through a trial. However, we understand the taxing toll a contentious trial may have on you and your family and therefore we always encourage alternative dispute resolutions in these cases. We mediate cases from a position of strength and preparation so that the end result is not capitulation but rather a fair and peaceful compromise for your family and their future.

Helping Accident Victims Seek Compensation

If someone else caused your accident resulting in injuries, the other party may be held financially responsible for damages you sustained. Damages include expenses and losses arising from your accident, such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain/suffering. However, when you file a claim, you might find it challenging to secure a just settlement from the insurance company. After all, these businesses are primarily concerned about their bottom lines and not with protecting your best interests. The carrier you’re dealing with may be looking to pay out as little as possible or maybe nothing at all.

Seeking the financial recovery you need to take care of accident-related damages can add greater frustration to your situation. However, this burden does not have to rest on you alone. A personal injury attorney can handle the nuances of your case. At Sudduth & Associates, LLC, our team can investigate your accident, establish opposing party fault, and craft a legal strategy. With our skills, experience, and resources, we can pursue fair compensation through negotiations with the at-fault party’s insurance company or by taking your case to trial. There are many attorneys who avoid the courtroom, at Sudduth & Associates, LLC we thrive in the courtroom and the insurance companies know it. They know we will take a case through trial and that leads to better results for our clients because we negotiate from a position of strength. We handle various injury matters, including auto accidents, animal attacks, slip and falls, wrongful deaths, product liability, and workers’ compensation.
