If law enforcement believes you had no knowledge or involvement in the planning or execution of the offense, then you will not be prosecuted. However, the circumstances concern me. You don't have to be the person to actually commit an offense to be punished for it. Rather, you can be held... View More

Consult with a family law attorney directly. Consider filing a motion to establish paternity through testing. If established, the court will recognize you as the father by matter of law, regardless of the birth certificate. Be prepared to owe responsibilities to the child if you are found to be... View More
I live in Louisiana, and have referred my employer to statute RS23:897, which states that an employer must pay for any drug testing, period, as a condition of employment. Can you please provide me with a clear interpretation of this statute?

I think you're right, both in interpretation of the statute and in practice. It is my experience that an employer pays for drug testing when necessary as a condition of employment.
I write this to say your issue is worth discussion with an attorney who could fully develop the... View More

It should not take this long for a probation revocation hearing to have been set. Consult with a criminal defense attorney to discuss appropriate motions to get your son in front of a judge on the probation violation.
Discovery shows the exact info used to enter my husbands residents in Dec 2019 (we had been seperated over a yr) which had nothing to do with me.

Whether you have a sound basis to suppress or keep out of evidence the contraband they found after entering your living space is a matter that should be discussed with a criminal defense attorney retained or appointed by the Court. If you don't already have an attorney, either pay for and... View More
Hello I have a situation with my employer. On Friday September the 4th 2020 i was working with two of my coworkers and my supervisor. They were talking with each other and my supervisor told them that the white man needs to be killed. After I overheard this I was so upset I had to leave work and I... View More

The supervisor's statement is evidence of a bias against white males. This, by itself, though, doesn't give grounds for an employee to quite reporting to work. You are at risk of being terminated for failing to report to work.
Go to work. Express your concerns with... View More

I recommend you start by consulting a local, experienced criminal defense attorney.
That said, help could come from communication with the DA's Office over this situation. Additionally, discussion with the Sheriff, or whatever authority is responsible for the jail could help.... View More

That office may ask you to sign a statement expressing your desire not to facilitate or participate in the prosecution. However, the... View More
In my opinion I believe and think that the justice system for some reason is trying to railroad me and put all charges on me this is so unjustified and is unfair to me. I am far from wealthy much less afford a good defense attorney but if I don’t get one I’m screwed
answered on Oct 4, 2020
I agree that law enforcement's and/or the DA's attempts to get you to provide evidence against other co-accused persons is a typical law enforcement and prosecutorial tactic. I add only to the previous response that if you can't afford a defense attorney, you should ask the Court to... View More
if the time is up can they still revoke me for not paying?
answered on Oct 4, 2020
Your probation ends only after you successfully complete all terms and conditions of the probation. Since you didn't pay the required fines, you have not completed probation, and your probation could be revoked.
Generally speaking, probation shouldn't be revoked in Louisiana... View More
