Brocato Law provides robust criminal defense representation for felony and misdemeanor charges in Louisiana. With attorney Salvador Brocato's combined experience as both a former police officer and practicing attorney, clients benefit from strategic defense planning that counters prosecutorial tactics. Our services cover DUI/DWI, drug offenses, assault, and federal crimes, focusing on minimizing penalties, securing dismissals, or obtaining acquittals through trial experience.
Insurance Claims
We represent policyholders facing denied or underpaid insurance claims for life insurance, homeowners' policies, and personal injury cases. Our firm investigates claim validity, negotiates with carriers, and litigates when necessary. Utilizing experience with insurance company tactics, we help clients secure rightful compensation for storm damage, medical expenses, and policy benefits through Louisiana courts.
Traffic Violations
Our traffic law services defend clients against speeding tickets, DWI charges, and license suspension issues. Having handled hundreds of traffic cases, we leverage our founder's police background to challenge evidence and prosecutors' strategies. We specifically address commercial driver implications and long-term record impacts while working to reduce fines, prevent license suspensions, and preserve driving privileges in Louisiana courts.
Expungement
Brocato Law assists individuals in clearing qualifying criminal records through Louisiana expungement processes. We evaluate eligibility for dismissed charges, non-convictions, and certain misdemeanor offenses. Our services include petition preparation and court representation to permanently seal records, helping clients improve employment prospects and regain personal opportunities through legal record clearance.
DUI/DWI Defense
We specialize in defending Louisiana DUI/DWI charges, including first-time offenses and repeat violations. Our approach challenges chemical test validity, procedural compliance, and evidence collection methods. With direct experience in hundreds of DWI cases, we negotiate reduced charges where appropriate and advocate for alternative sentencing options. We specifically address license reinstatement requirements and long-term criminal record implications.
