Criminal DefenseAccording to the rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States, you are presumed innocent until evidence proves otherwise. But don’t count on your innocence speaking for itself. If you’ve been arrested and charged with a crime, you need the help of an experienced criminal defense attorney.

Ellen Cronin Badeaux, LLC has 19 years of experience helping residents of Livingston, LA fight to get their criminal charges reduced, dismissed or expunged. Our criminal defense attorneys are ready to fight for you.

Criminal Law and Your Rights

If you’ve been arrested or charged with a crime, you have rights:

  • The right to remain silent
  • The right to be informed of the reason for your arrest
  • The right to legal counsel

Unfortunately, sometimes the rights of the accused are violated. Law enforcement officers may try to get you to say things that can later be used against you in trial. The circumstances surrounding your arrest may not have given law enforcement just cause.

To make sure your rights are protected throughout the entire criminal law process, you need a defense attorney. A criminal defense attorney can advise you on how not to incriminate yourself during questioning. A criminal defense attorney can also investigate your arrest to see if there are grounds to have your charges dismissed because your rights were violated.
