Criminal Defense, Assault & Drug Crimes Lawyer | Prairieville, LA

Are you facing charges for drug possession, assault & battery, or illegal firearms possession in Louisiana? The impacts of a guilty conviction for any of the above charges could result in significant fines, years away from family, and lengthy professional and personal consequences.

Don’t entrust your freedom, rights, or voice to chance. For over 15 years, I’ve represented individuals throughout Louisiana facing a wide range of misdemeanor and felony charges. I know the complexities of Louisiana law and have successfully defended hundreds of clients like you, helping people navigate legal challenges both big and small.

The criminal process in Louisiana can be incredibly overwhelming – especially when you’re not sure what to expect next. Fortunately, you don’t have to go through this alone. Allow me to help you better understand your rights and options, gather meaningful evidence for your defense, and ensure that we navigate the legal process with an eye on your future.

Simple Battery Vs. Aggravated Battery: What are the differences between these two categories of charges? In Louisiana, being charged with “Simple Battery” means you are alleged to have used intentional force or violence against another person.

A charge of “Aggravated Battery,” on the other hand, means you are alleged to have made violent contact with a person with the use of a weapon or a harmful substance or against an especially vulnerable person or a public employee.

If convicted of simple battery, you could face fines of up to $1,000 and six months in jail. If convicted of aggravated battery, you could face fines of up to $10,000 and as long as 10 years in prison.

The circumstances of your case will also impact the possible consequences, and it’s important to get a competent, caring, and hard-working violent crimes attorney on your side as soon as possible.

Are You Facing Domestic Abuse Charges?

In Louisiana, domestic abuse is defined as the use of violent force by one family member against another. However, many domestic abuse allegations involve backgrounds of complex family dynamics, and every person accused of domestic abuse deserves a strong defense.

Penalties, if convicted, can include fines and jail time, especially if the alleged force resulted in serious bodily injury or if a weapon was involved.

Allow my associates and I to delve into the background of these allegations, uncover possible discrepancies in testimony, and fight to have any exaggerated or unfair charges reduced or dropped.

Facing DWI Or DUI Charges? For many of us, our access to a car is one of the most important components of day-to-day life. When a DWI or DUI arrest threatens your driving privileges, who can you turn to?

With over 15 years of experience defending DUI cases, we know that the background of your arrest can be nuanced. We’ll be sure to examine the police procedure involved, review dash cam or body cam footage, and ensure your rights and driving privileges are protected from unjust or exaggerated claims.

You can’t win the case that you don’t fight; when arrested and charged with a DUI, allow DUI attorney Greg Webb to review your case and come to your defense.

Arrested For A Violent Crime? In Louisiana, violent crimes include crimes of rape, armed robbery, aggravated assault, and homicide. When you’re arrested and charged with a serious crime of this nature, it’s vital to have a strong defense on your side from day one.

Forensic evidence, evidence verifying an alibi, witness statements, and an understanding of the background of your case can all prove vital in uncovering the truth and protecting your rights.

Don’t entrust your future to a lesser attorney; allow violent crimes defense lawyer Greg Webb to review your case, seek out information others may have missed, and ensure you’re carefully and proficiently represented.

Concerned About Drug Charges? Allow Greg Webb To Help

The drug epidemic in the country is well-known, and there are few families who haven’t been impacted. When you’re arrested on drug-related charges, you need a strong defense lawyer who understands the background of your case and can speak effectively for you before a judge.

A conviction for drug-related offenses can result in significant jail time, months or years away from loved ones, and a record that’s likely to impact future job prospects and educational opportunities.

Here at the Law Office of Greg Webb, we believe that everyone deserves an impactful, thorough defense as well as a second chance. We’ll examine your background and the details of your arrest and work toward getting charges reduced or dismissed if the facts support it.

In other cases, your defense attorney may recommend you for Drug Court, a program that gets you supervised, structured help without jail time, allowing many men and women to move forward in life with a clean slate, free from the burden of addiction.

How Drug Court Works In Louisiana: Adult Drug Courts in Louisiana handle crimes related to controlled substances and crimes committed in connection to a substance abuse disorder. Drug courts are geared towards allowing eligible people to receive help through treatment programs, opportunities to obtain a GED and opportunities for employment.

To qualify for drug court, you must be suffering from a substance abuse issue, have no prior violent crime or distribution convictions, and can not be facing current charges that involve violence, a death, or the production or distribution of an illegal substance.

The Drug Courts process typically moves forward in phases, helping participants to achieve increasing stability, health, and control over their lives in a supervised, involved manner.

The success rate for Drug Courts is encouragingly high; State data indicates that over 90% of the people who graduate from the Drug Courts program remain free of additional convictions for the next three years. These graduates also have far greater success with employment, health, and quality of life.

A Louisiana Defense Attorney You Can Trust

With a background in both psychology and law, I’ve made criminal defense not only my career but a matter of intense personal commitment. I believe that everyone deserves a second chance and that everyone accused of a crime deserves a determined criminal defense lawyer.

To that end, I’ll work hard to look over your case in depth, seek out important details that others may have missed, and secure compelling, meaningful evidence in your defense. You’re not a case number to me; you’re a person, and I’ll handle your case with the utmost seriousness, attention, and respect.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: Generally, your criminal defense attorney will not ask if you are guilty. It is your attorney’s job to defend you against charges, seek evidence in your defense, and help protect your right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. While your attorney is likely to ask you to tell your side of the story, they are not likely to directly ask you if you are guilty.
A: If you are charged with a crime, you have essential rights that protect you throughout the legal process. You have the right to remain silent, which means you do not have to respond to police questioning. You also have the right to an attorney who will defend your interests and guide you through the legal process. If your case reaches trial, you are entitled to a fair hearing before a jury of your peers.


To fully exercise these rights, it’s essential to reach out to a lawyer as soon as possible after an arrest. Contact the Law Office of Greg Webb to ensure you have knowledgeable support from the start. And remember: avoid answering police questions from the police until your attorney is present to advise you.

A: In Louisiana, Battery is defined as either “Simple” or “Aggravated.” Simple battery involves using force or violence without a dangerous weapon and can carry penalties of up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted.


Aggravated battery involves a dangerous weapon (such as a gun or a knife) or dangerous substance and carries penalties of up to 10 years in prison and fines of $5,000 if convicted. For the best possible outcome, make sure you’ve retained a seasoned, detail-oriented defense attorney if charged with these crimes, or any other violent crime.

A: The illegal carrying of a weapon in Louisiana is considered a misdemeanor for the first and second offenses. A first conviction brings with it fines of up to $500 and jail time of up to six months. The second conviction can result in prison time of up to five years.


A third conviction will count as a felony and carry a 10-year prison sentence. Each case is different, however, and there are often nuances in illegal gun ownership cases. Speaking with an experienced attorney if you are charged with carrying an illegal weapon can help uncover those nuances, ideally seeing charges reduced or dropped.

Understanding Pretrial Diversions In Louisiana

Louisiana’s Pretrial Diversions program may allow you to avoid both jail time and a conviction. To be eligible for Pretrial Diversion, you must be a first-time offender, be facing non-violent or minor misdemeanor charges, have no prior felony convictions on your record, and be willing to undergo a Pretrial Diversion program.

The requirements of your Pretrial Diversions program may involve paying restitution, completing counseling or community service, or completing educational classes. If you’ve been charged for the first time with shoplifting, vandalism, or disturbing the peace, a Pretrial Diversion program may be a helpful and productive option.

If you qualify, I can request this Diversion on your behalf with the courts; this can be a worthwhile way to avoid a conviction as well as jail time, keep your record clean, and move forward with a second chance and better prospects for success.
