Out-Of-State And Nonresident DUI Offenses

If you are traveling through Shreveport or other areas of Louisiana during vacation or holiday, and are arrested for driving under the influence (DUI/DWI), you want representation from an attorney familiar with the local laws and area judges. At the law office of Carl Henry Franklin, Attorney at Law, people from outside the state or those facing DWI/DUI in East Texas have an experienced legal advocate.

At our firm, we understand that being charged with DUI/DWI is more than just an inconvenience; it can affect your life personally and professionally.

  • We can usually make the initial court appearance on your behalf.
  • We will try to convince the court to create a convenient schedule for any mandatory appearances.
  • Our knowledge of the laws and the legal landscape may result in negotiation for a generous plea agreement.*
  • We can address any out-of-state arrest warrants and how prior offenses may affect the DWI you incurred while driving through Louisiana.
