Excellent attorney for DWI and felony charge!

My son, an LSU student, got a DWI. Not being from the Baton Rouge area, my son asked around and EVERYONE said get Ben LaBranche. So we did. He was working on the DWI case when my son got into an altercation and was charged with a felony. Ben worked both cases simultaneously and we could not have ...asked for a better outcome! He got the DWI case dismissed through diversion and got the felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor. He always answered my calls or either called back shortly. He is so nice and easy to work with and affordable. I would highly recommend him if you find yourself in a bad situation like my son did. Hopefully we won't need an attorney again, but if we do he will be the first person we call. I am so thankful for what he did for us!

If you hire Ben, you've already won!!!

Due to my charges, I was let go from my job. I hired Ben, because clearly the charges were more serious than I thought. Ben went to work for me! He is definitely an aggressive attorney, but in a good way. Ben went into the courtroom with professionalism and attacked. He beat the charges and helped me... get my job back!

Fantastic lawyer! Helped me tremendously through such a difficult time

Ben was always there for me - from the minute I hired him until well after I finished the PTI program. He answered every question I had in great detail and would offer sound solutions to any concerns I had. Even though it was all on my shoulders to follow through program to eradicate DWI, he would re...ach out at least once a month to check in on my progress. Amazing lawyer and an even better guy!

Ben LaBranche is kind, patient, and truly knowledgeable. From day one, LaBranche had a plan, he requested my commitment and, given time, we saw the felony charges dismissed, the sanctions dropped, and my arrest record expunged. I am now able to pursue my career objectives without the fear that a pote...ntial employer pass my file over because of a criminal stain. Ben LaBranche has empowered me, and for that I am truly grateful.
