How Bloom Legal Network Defends Felony Cases
Felony defense requires a sophisticated and strategic approach. Bloom Legal Network attorneys conduct a comprehensive investigation and develop tailored defense strategies based on the facts, the law, and the specific challenges of your case. Common defense strategies include:
Challenging the Evidence
Reviewing police reports, witness statements, forensic results, surveillance footage, digital data, and DNA or lab records for inconsistencies or violations of procedure.
Attacking Illegal Searches or Seizures
Identifying Fourth Amendment violations involving vehicles, homes, cell phones, or personal belongings, and seeking suppression of unlawfully obtained evidence.
Exposing Weaknesses in the Prosecution’s Case
Undercutting unreliable witnesses, revealing contradictory statements, or exposing key evidentiary gaps that create reasonable doubt.
Presenting Justification or Self-Defense
Showing that your actions were lawful responses to threats, danger, or necessity.
Addressing Procedural Errors
Challenging improper warrants, flawed indictments, mishandled evidence, or due-process violations by police or prosecutors.
Pursuing Alternative Outcomes
Negotiating reduced charges, diversion, deferred sentencing under LSA-C.Cr.P. Art. 893, or specialty programs that avoid felony convictions.
Because each felony case presents unique complexities, Bloom Legal Network ensures that your defense strategy reflects a deep understanding of Louisiana’s criminal statutes and local court practices.

Frequently Asked Questions About Felony Defense in Louisiana
1. Will I go to jail if I’m charged with a felony in Louisiana?
Not necessarily. While felony charges carry the possibility of jail or prison time, many cases can be resolved without incarceration—especially for first-time offenders or cases with weak evidence. The outcome depends on the specific charge, the strength of the prosecution’s evidence, your criminal history, and your defense strategy. Bloom Legal Network evaluates every factor early, challenges improper evidence, negotiates aggressively, and works to secure alternatives such as probation, reduced charges, diversion, or deferred sentencing under Article 893 whenever possible.
2. What is the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor in Louisiana?
A felony is a more serious offense that can result in imprisonment at hard labor, significant fines, or long-term supervision, while misdemeanors carry lesser penalties such as parish jail time or shorter probation. Felonies also come with severe collateral consequences, including loss of firearm rights, difficulty finding employment, professional license issues, and immigration consequences. Because of the long-term impact, felony charges require immediate and experienced legal representation. Bloom Legal Network helps clients understand the full implications of their charges and builds a strategy focused on minimizing or avoiding those consequences.
3. Should I speak to police or investigators if I know I’m innocent?
No. Even innocent people can unintentionally say things that are misinterpreted or used against them. Police are trained to gather evidence for prosecution—not to clear suspects. Anything you say can become part of the case file and may hurt your defense later. If investigators contact you, politely decline to answer questions and immediately contact Bloom Legal Network. Our attorneys will communicate with law enforcement on your behalf, protect your rights during the investigative stage, and help prevent mistakes that could complicate your case.
