Attorney Ravi G. Shah

Courts are closed tomorrow in both St. Tammany and Washington parishes (among many others). We will reach out individually to our affected clients but wanted to make sure the information get outs to the general public.

Some big wins to start off the week in Covington!

State v. W. P.- client was facing 5-40 years for a variety of gun and drug charges with a 5 year mandatory minimum. Mr. Shah was able to establish a motion to suppress the search warrant was a valid legal defense. The State after reviewing the motion agreed and dismissed all charges rather continue the prosecution.

State v. G.B- client was facing up to 10 years. Following a through investigation of the circumstances, Mr. Shah was able to convince the State of Louisiana to dismiss all charges against his client keeping him from becoming a convicted felon and sparing him the stress and expense of trial.

Good Morning! In order to give ourselves and our incredible staff some much needed time off. SYA Legal will be closed from today December 20th-25th and will reopen December 26th and 27th. We will then be closed again until Thursday January 2nd. Wishing everyone a safe and happy Holliday season.

Attorney Ravi G. Shah gets another NOT GUILTY verdict in Washington Parish! Jury out only 10 minutes!

State of Louisiana vs. A**** A****- Client was charged with possession of methamphetamines under 2 grams. Despite being offered a plea deal to credit for time served, Mr. Adams insisted on a trial and to try to prove his innocence. Mr. Adams was at least a second offender facing at least up to four years in prison, possibly more if some older out of State convictions were recent enough to subject him to Louisiana's draconian multiple offender laws which would have mandated a twenty year sentence if he lost. Instead, Mr. Shah developed a winning trial strategy which was executed perfectly wherein his client was quickly found not guilty by a jury of his peers!
