I am an experienced white collar and criminal defense attorney who represents people and companies facing criminal charges in Louisiana. I am based in New Orleans and practices across the entire state of Louisiana. One thing I see over and over again is this: if you’re accused of a crime, regardless of whether you are innocent or guilty, your reputation and way of life could be changed forever. Very few people know what it’s like to have the government accuse you of doing something wrong unless you’ve been through it. From the professional, to the student, to man on the street, I’ve been through it with my clients many times. Too often I’ve seen good people’s lives under attack by false allegations or an unfair process. In white collar matters, I have experience defending environmental crimes, healthcare violations, corruption and fraud cases, and other regulatory matters. In criminal defense cases, I have significant trial experience in both state and federal court. I've defended clients against serious criminal charges including murder, rape, drug, and conspiracy charges. My practice also includes appellate and post-conviction relief work. What you need is a champion, someone who will passionately advocate for you and tell your side of the story. I know that the details matter when fighting an allegation. They matter because your freedom and reputation can depend on them. http://samwinstonlaw.com/about/
