Why You NEED A Lawyer in Criminal Court
Attorney Duvernay explains why you should NEVER go to court alone...especially when you are facing criminal charges. http://www.hillduvernay.com/criminal-defense/ Schedule a consultation: www.calendly.com/hillduvernay
- Q. What are the requirements or duties or obligation when the fee of defense attorney has been paid in full to his client?
- A: Yes, while a lawyer should give their client as much notice as possible regarding court appearances, it is not the lawyer's responsibility to put the client on notice about Court in criminal cases. The Court issues notices via mail or in Court. The client signs notice for their new Court Appearance. In rare instances, the lawyer may appear without the client and sign for the notice.

- Q. Would a dwi with a non-injury hit and run be put on my record as a felony or misdemeanor. This happened in 1984.

If this were a Georgia DUI/DWI, unfortunately it would still be on your record. Georgia is very strict in the ability to restrict convictions, however, Louisiana may not be.
- Q. I was blue lighted where I failed to pull over , I went on a high speed chase being scared for my life ,but I wrecked
- A: The police are allowed a lot of discretion and leeway in the type of charges they bring during an investigative phase. Although the weapons were not found in your vehicle or your possession, since they were found close to the scene of the crime, this is likely why they charged you both with the weapon. However, the DA must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the weapon was in your possession.
