At Crescent City Law, LLC, we help people avoid the serious consequences of a criminal conviction. We opened in 2010 and started the firm by representing the accused with traffic tickets. Later, we expanded our practice to criminal courts--both after during the trial phase and hiding criminal records with expungements--so our clients could live better lives. While about 80% of our work is in the defense of the accused, about 20% of our revenue is earned by helping people recover from the injuries they suffered as a result of an accident where someone else was at fault.

We need a star who can support our legal team and help our clients through this difficult time in their life.
