If you know anything about having a drug charge in St. Tammany, then you know how bad you need the best lawyer you can find. I didn’t think the search or anything was legal about the stop. I hired this firm because I needed the best. They looked at my case and worked a good deal. Much appreciated.

After you are arrested, paid your bond, and released from jail, you should be given some paperwork for your DWI or DUI from the arresting officer. You may have a white sheet of paper that is your temporary permit to drive. Keep this on you at all times. You have 30 days from the date of arrest to request a driver’s license appeal hearing to challenge the suspension of your license. Our Covington DWI attorneys handle that for you if you become a client. Be sure to get us on board in time to request the hearing for you so we can get all the reports from the DMV.
