Everyone Accused Of A Crime Is Entitled To A Strong Defense
If you are facing misdemeanor or felony charges in the state of Louisiana, the deck is stacked against you. Louisiana law has some of the harshest penalties and sentences of any state in the union. Even after the state overhauled its sentencing guidelines in 2017, Louisiana remains a tough, law and order state. Drug offenses, sex offenses and crimes of violence carry particularly severe penalties, including the death sentence for those found guilty of first-degree murder. To maintain your freedom, you need an experienced attorney like Alan J. Golden fighting for your rights.
Prior to becoming a criminal defense lawyer, Alan Golden spent several years as a prosecuting attorney in Caddo Parish. He has more than 35 years of trial experience working from both sides of the courtroom. His knowledge and experience successfully defending sex crimes have resulted in demand for his services as a lecturer on strategies for defending clients accused of sex offenses. He frequently speaks at statewide seminars where he explains his methods for trial preparation, examining evidence and interviewing alleged victims and witnesses.

Attorney Alan J. Golden
Before choosing a lawyer, you should first find out what kind of experience the lawyer has had handling your kind of case. How many of those cases has the attorney actually handled, how many of them has he taken to trial and what were their outcomes.
Experience and Success: With over 30 years of trial experience and more that 45 major jury trials under my belt, I have been effectively defending clients charged with sex offenses, murders, crimes of violence, drug offenses and other crimes. This experience has enabled me to become a highly effective advocate and a strong adversary. I have a proven track record of success, having obtained numerous acquittals, dismissals and favorable pleas on behalf of my clients, especially those charged with sex offenses. Please see my results page.
Knowledge and skills: As a former prosecutor, I know all the practices and tactics and of the prosecution and how to successfully combat them. I understand how these cases are charged and what evidence prosecutors rely on for convictions. This knowledge guides my trial preparation and allows me to effectively scrutinize evidence and cross-examine alleged victims and witnesses. I also lecture at statewide seminars where I teach other lawyers criminal defense techniques. Please see my presentations page.
Work ethic: The great Vince Lombardi famously said, "The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary." I believe that successful outcomes both at trail and through plea negotiations come only with steadfast and hard work. Getting good outcomes is not dependent on chance, but comes with thorough, meticulous and painstaking case preparation. The moment I am hired, I begin working on defense themes, strategies and tactics, and that work continues until your case is resolved.
