I am so very thankful that I found Rozas & Rozas Law Firm. They were so professional and nice. I was blown away with how fast they got me in and was able to help me with my situation. Corey was so helpful. He felt more like a friend than an attorney but I am so grateful for them during the WHOLE experience and I most definitely will use them if I ever need that law assistance again! Thank you Rozas & Rozas. :)

This law firm is amazing! David represented me in my case and he could not have done a better job. The staff is so professional and friendly. Especially Jessica. They make you feel like your case is the most important one they are working. I plan to recommend them to all of my friends and family who may need their services.

Michelle Barron

I wanted to apply for my citizenship and Jessica referred me to Rozas and Associates. They made the whole process seem so simple. David and his staff were extremely knowledgeable, not to mention friendly. I highly recommend them for any of your immigration issues.

Janie Garcia

David is very professional & friendly. Never had to wait for multiple days before he responded to our calls or replied to my emails with an answer to our questions & concerns. Responding in a timely manner made us feel that our needs were not taken lightly. It truly was a really positive experience.

Mirna Sorto

I’m so glad I picked Rozas’ to help me through my divorce. They handled everything so well, quickly, and cost-effectively. In particular, Brandi, who I interacted with the most was beyond amazing. She always responded to messages right away, and not only was efficient but also compassionate in the way that she interacted with me. Definitely recommend!

Mary Allen

They are the best immigration lawyers. Thanks to the lawyer Rachel my husband won his asylum. They are more than more than recommended, it was a blessing from God that they represent my husband.

Dunia Rodriguez

Attentive, thorough, passionate about justice for immigrants, honest and fair – these are some of the words to describe Rozas and Associates law firm. My boyfriend was detained at Winn Correctional Center in Louisiana in June 2019. We hired Rozas to represent him because of their reputation amongst the detainees in the Center. Rachel Chappell and the rest of the Rozas team worked tirelessly to assist us – and he won full asylum one week ago.

Josie Lalonde

For all my Latin friends who are going through immigration and legal processes, I recommend this law firm since they are excellent. They defend the Latino community very well. They are very professional and attentive. They respond to you immediately and fight for your case. A thousand thanks to Pamela for being super attentive and Nancy who was exceptional. Also to John Sharby and his colleagues who worked on my wife's case who was in a Louisiana detention center, they are the best. Many thanks to all for their professionalism.

Aidevis Zamora

We couldn't be more happy about choosing this law-firm. We live in Miami and have a friend that needed help with an immigration case. We did a lot of research and called many different firms and decided to go with Rozas and Associates. From the moment we called, Nancy took the time to explain us everything and what our options were, she was very patient and helpful. Once we decided to hire them, Joseph, David and Rachel were assigned to our case. Rachel is THE BEST! She answered our calls always, and whenever she was busy or not available to talk, she always called us back or texted us... every question that we had throughout the process was professionally and patiently answered by her. She's amazing!!!

Dany Thimann

Rozas and Associates Law Firm was absolutely amazing handling a case for me. They were very nice and got back to me and whatever I needed. The bond department was on top of everything and managed to get bond for the case. I couldn’t recommend a more better or more reliable group of people to handle immigration cases.

Hannah Castillo

Jessica and David were amazing! They made me feel like my issue was important, they took the time to explain things to me and prepare me for any outcome, they were always there every time I called them with any questions, and always looked and acted very professional. I highly recommend them! 😊

FAQs About Criminal Defense

Why do I need a Louisiana Criminal Attorney?

This is usually the first question anyone facing a criminal charge asks. There are several benefits of hiring a criminal defense attorney to handle your case.

  • Criminal Defense Attorneys Understand the Judicial System - The legal system can be very confusing and we understand that. Our team of criminal defense attorneys know the ins and outs of how the system works. At Rozas we are able to guide each of our clients through the legal process based on their specific case.
  • We are Experienced in Handling Cases like Yours - Different attorneys have different specialties and at Rozas we specialize in handling criminal cases. There is a likely chance that our attorneys have handled a case that is similar or identical to yours. We understand what we need to provide on our end to provide you with the best outcome possible.
  • We can Protect You and Your Future - Our attorneys fight for you and your future. We will work to have your charges reduced and penalties lessened while our ultimate goal is to have the case dismissed. Our attorneys efforts can help to keep a felony off of your record and keep you out of jail among many other things.
Can I represent myself?

Yes, you have the right to represent yourself in a criminal case. A judge must first determine you legally competent. As long as you are determined to be legally competent, give up the right to an attorney, and understand the court proceedings, you are entitled to represent yourself.

There are several reasons why we would not suggest you represent yourself and instead hire a criminal defense attorney. This includes: lack of courtroom experience, you may make self-incriminating statements, and you may not understand court rules.

What is an arraignment?

An arraignment is the initial formal hearing before a court in a criminal case. During an arraignment the court will announce the charges that have been filed against the defendant. The defendant will also be advised of his/her rights, the consequences of a plea, and asked how they plead.

How long does a criminal case last?

There are many factors that will play a part in determining how long your case will take. These factors include the complexity of your case, where you were charged, your criminal history, and the type of charge it is (misdemeanor or felony). A felony case can last several months and even over a year. A misdemeanor case can be resolved in a few weeks or months.
