Biography

I’m James Petersen, founder of NOLA Criminal Law. I provide dedicated criminal defense and DUI advocacy in New Orleans and surrounding Parishes, rooted in a "blue-collar" work ethic and a 360-degree perspective most lawyers simply don't have.

My experience began in the field as a contractor and continued as In-House Counsel for a major construction company. Today, I leverage that technical background to deconstruct the prosecution’s evidence. I know what it means to work for a living, and I understand that when you’re facing a DUI or criminal charge, your livelihood, your family, and your freedom are on the line.

I solve problems. Whether I’m fighting an illegal traffic stop or a complex felony charge, I dig into the details others miss to find the cracks in the state's case. If you need a defender who will see your job through, I’m ready to get to work.
