Reviews
The Court of Public Opinion
Don’t just take our word for it. Read what people say about Daniels & Washington on Google. If we handled your case, you can add your own review there too.
Google reviews are written by the people who post them, not by Daniels & Washington. We do not pay for reviews or give anything of value in exchange for them. Some reviews describe the outcome of a client’s case. Every case is different, the result in one case does not mean a similar result in another, and no lawyer can guarantee a particular outcome.

Common questions
How much does it cost to talk to a lawyer?
The first consultation is free. Injury cases are handled on a contingency fee: no attorney’s fee unless we recover money for you, though you may still be responsible for court costs and case expenses. Criminal defense fees depend on the charge; we explain them up front.
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Louisiana?
For most injuries that happened on or after July 1, 2024, Louisiana generally gives you two years to file suit. Some claims have shorter or different deadlines, so talk to a lawyer early.
I was arrested. Should I talk to the police?
You have the right to remain silent and the right to a lawyer. Politely decline to discuss the case until you have spoken with an attorney.
