Bates and McMillin Attorneys at Law

James Bates is More Than a Criminal Defense Attorney – He’s a DWI Attorney

James Bates is a member of the leading professional organization for DWI defense attorneys, the NCDD (National College of DUI Defense, Inc). Only lawyers who have demonstrated a great interest in DWI defense are selected to be members in the NCDD. James, because of his interest in defending those accused of DWI, is the Louisiana State Delegate to the National College for DUI Defense. DWI cases must be the majority of an attorney’s law practice. Member lawyers must agree to regularly undergo advanced training in DWI/DUI defense at seminars and study groups around the United States so that they can be attorneys best qualified to represent clients charged with DWI or DUI.

James Bates has represented clients in the courtroom for over 4 decades, and he has had extensive training and trial experience as a DWI defense lawyer. He knows how to win a DWI case, and you want him on your side as your defense counsel.

There are no criminal attorneys in Louisiana with more experience and training than James Bates. In fact, there are very few qualified DWI defense lawyers in the entire state of Louisiana. There are plenty of law firms with well-qualified attorneys in the area of general criminal defense, but they are sadly lacking when it comes to defending DWI charges.

While Bates and McMillin may not be the cheapest criminal defense law firm in the New Orleans area, rates are very reasonable and payment plans are available.
