Property Crime Defense Attorneys in Lake Charles
Whether you are charged with misdemeanor or felony theft, burglary or another crime that involves the misappropriation of property, Fuerst, Carrier and Ogden Attorneys at Law has the experience and skill to defend you. Property crimes cover a wide range of acts from simple trespass to more serious crimes such as burglary and arson. We will thoroughly review the events leading to your arrest and develop an appropriate defense strategy with the goal of obtaining the best possible outcome.
Even in cases where our clients may have admitted to the act, we require the prosecution to prove the value of the property involved so that complaining witnesses do not dishonestly inflate the amount and extort our clients through the criminal justice process. Where the value cannot be determined, our attorneys are skilled negotiators who negotiate the most fair amount owed. No matter the situation, we protect the rights of our clients every step of the way. Just like in violent crimes, we preserve evidence, interview witnesses and pursue surveillance footage as the circumstances may require.

Testimonials
“Mr. Ogden was so kind and understanding! He spent three hours helping me figure out what to do during our consultation in order to get custody of our niece and nephew, and when our hearing date came and the hearing officer wanted to reschedule us (which would have caused us to pay more), he went in and argued for us, and we were seen that day! I knew exactly what to do and what was going to happen in the hearing too, so there were no surprises. Everything went great and now we have custody of our niece and nephew! We hope to have Mr. Ogden help us with adoption next!!”
