Criminal Defense

Many of our victories are the ones no one ever hears about: the many instances in which McKeithen & Lewellyan has succeeded in convincing the government to conclude an investigation without bringing charges against the firm’s clients.

If you are under investigation or have been accused of any crime, the two most important things you can do to influence a favorable outcome are:

Keep quiet. Do not talk to the police. Do not discuss the case with anyone, including friends and family members.

Call a lawyer. Contact an experienced criminal defense attorney who will fight to protect your rights, your future, and your freedom. Call The McKeithen & Lewellyan toll free at (800) 795-6862.

People who have had experience with effective criminal lawyers often engage us to represent them. We have defended FBI agents and local policemen who have been charged in criminal cases. We frequently represent lawyers and their family members.

Clients who contact our firm when they first learn that they are under investigation improve their chances of a favorable outcome. As soon as we are engaged, we monitor the government’s investigation and often conduct our own investigation in order to gather and preserve favorable evidence.
