Serving All Types of Clients Across All Areas of Criminal Law The Law Office of Robert S. Toale has decades of experience defending clients across the gamut of criminal cases. We represent adults and juveniles, New Orleans locals and tourists, and even college students across all areas of criminal law. DWI – We know the New Orleans reputation, and we have helped plenty of clients who came to Louisiana for a good time only to find themselves in jail after a DWI arrest. We represent tourists and Louisiana locals alike in defending against DWI charges, helping clients keep their driver’s licenses and avoid extended jail time whenever possible. If a diversionary program is available to keep a DWI conviction off your record, we will fight for it. Drug Crimes – Whether it’s a misdemeanor offense for a small amount of marijuana, or a felony offense for drug distribution or drug trafficking, the Law Office of Robert S. Toale will bring all of its experience and resources to bear in protecting your rights and defending you against overzealous prosecutors and police trying to throw the book at you. We have represented clients facing possession and sale charges for marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, as even prescription drugs, and we know how to handle larger conspiracy cases as well. We are also experienced in defending tourists or locals who have found themselves in trouble at the New Orleans airport. Violent Crimes – We have helped clients defend against a range of violent crimes, including assault & battery, domestic violence, and even homicide. Our team at the Law Office of Robert S. Toale understands the gravity of the most serious criminal charges brought in the State of Louisiana, and we will fight with everything we have to make sure our clients put together the strongest case possible. White Collar Crimes – At the Law Office of Robert S. Toale, we are also prepared to take on the more complex cases involving crimes such as embezzlement, mail and wire fraud, and computer crimes. White collar criminal charges can lead to not only a conviction, but also to reputational damage, loss of your professional license, and even a prohibition on practicing your chosen profession. We know the forensic accountants and other experts in Louisiana to bring on board for these more complicated financial matters, and we will tailor our legal defense to your specific needs. Sexual Offenses – Cases involving sex crime charges often not only involve the most severe potential penalties, but also the most sensitive and reputation-damaging allegations. We work not only to protect our client’s rights, but also to protect their privacy to avoid a public witch hunt before the trial is even over. We represent clients facing charges involving sexual assault, solicitation, child pornography, statutory rape, and molestation. Our firm does not prejudge guilt, and we believe that every defendant has the human right to a strong legal defense.
