Legal Question in Criminal Law in Louisiana

Although I do not know who was appointed to represent you, I will say that most "dissatisfied" clients fail to make appointments to see their public defender until shortly before trial (if at all) but expect that lawyer to know about witnesses & facts that cannot be known without communication. Many public defenders in Louisiana have well over 300 clients and a day simply is not long enough.

If you want a more personal representation, it will cost between 150 and 400 (if not more) dollars per hour.
