Baton Rouge Criminal Defense Attorney

Criminal Defense In Baton Rouge For 40 Years

I am attorney Neal Wilkinson of Baton Rouge. Let me start by saying that I'm sorry that you find yourself in need of a criminal defense lawyer. But now that you do, let me explain why I think you have come to the right place.

I began my career in criminal law more than 40 years ago, working as an assistant prosecutor for the attorney general's office. In 1979, I opened my own law firm in Baton Rouge, focusing primarily in the area of criminal defense. During these past 36 years, I have earned a reputation for integrity, hard work and effectiveness among satisfied clients, prosecuting attorneys and local judges.

There Is Always An Effective Defense — And I'll See To It

If you are innocent of the charges against you, I will prepare and present the strongest case possible to protect you from false accusations. If the evidence is against you, I will use all of my experience and goodwill earned with the prosecutor to explore every legal avenue to protect your future. I believe very strongly that everyone is entitled to vigorous, effective legal counsel, and I see to it that my clients get it.

My successful case results are based on experience. Call me if you are under investigation or have already been charged with a misdemeanor or felony offense in Baton Rouge or anywhere throughout east and west Louisiana:
