Sometimes Bad Things Happen to Good People

New Orleans is a popular tourist destination drawing millions of visitors each year with celebrations that include our world famous Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day, French Quarter Festival, the Jazz and Heritage Festival, several Oktoberfest celebrations, Voodoo Fest, plus all of December is celebrated as Creole Christmas with parades and pageantry. New Orleans also plays host to many major college and professional sporting events.

Tourists and partygoers should be aware that law officials seek to enforce laws as strictly and peacefully as possible during these events but will be arresting individuals that violate the local parish, municipal, and state criminal laws.

Unfortunately, a large number of individuals are arrested in New Orleans every year for municipal offenses during these times, requiring legal representation.

Finckbeiner & Robin can help visitors with municipal violations such as:

Finckbeiner & Robin's Exchange Place office is conveniently located in the heart of the French Quarter and within blocks of the Louisiana State Court and Louisiana Supreme Court building. Our attorneys can assist anyone mixed up in civil litigation or criminal charges following an evening out in New Orleans.

A large part of Finckbeiner & Robin's practice is to provide effective representation for bond and bail hearings, including first appearance hearings. First-appearance hearings are usually held within 24 hours of the arrest. Prospective clients can use any of our phone numbers (New Orleans or Chalmette) to contact us. When we leave for the day, the phones are transferred to an answering service, which will contact us if a client needs us immediately.

Finckbeiner & Robin may be contacted 24/7 to handle bond and bail requests by calling any of our offices. If it happens after our normal business hours, someone will get back in touch with you quickly to help with the bond and bail process.
