Our Approach to Criminal Defense

The earlier we get involved in your case, the more options we have. That’s why we prioritize intervening in cases as soon as possible, ideally before formal charges are ever filed. Early action allows us to engage with prosecutors, present mitigating evidence, and potentially prevent a charge from moving forward at all.

When cases proceed, we pursue every available avenue to secure the best possible outcome. That means scrutinizing the details of an arrest, challenging unlawful searches and seizures, questioning the validity of evidence, and identifying procedural missteps that could work in our client’s favor. We aim for dismissals, reduced charges, and acquittals, and we pursue those outcomes with relentless focus.

If your case proceeds to trial, we’ll be ready. Our lawyer prepares meticulously for trial and implements aggressive defense strategies aimed at telling our clients’ stories and protecting their interests.

Partner with a Lawyer Who’s Dedicated to Supporting You

Attorney Fabré knows what it feels like to face the legal system and feel powerless. Before ever stepping into a courtroom as an attorney, he experienced firsthand the fear, confusion, and frustration that come with confronting a system that can seem designed to work against you. That experience doesn't just inform how we practice law. It drives it.

When you come to us, you won’t be made to feel judged for the situation you're in. We aim to serve you, not to evaluate your past. Plus, you'll work closely with our attorney and supporting team throughout your case. We'll keep you informed, explain your options clearly, and fight fiercely on your behalf at every stage. And because you may have urgent needs outside of business hours, we'll be available 24/7.

South Louisiana is our home. The people we defend are our neighbors. That means every case we take is personal to us. Visit Attorney Fabré’s profile page to learn more about his experiences and how they drive everything we do.

"Easy to reach"
Great Communication and easy to reach. What's the point of a great lawyer if you can't even communicate with them? With René you get both!
My nephew was in jail in the middle of the night. I was stressed, worried, and scared. All the law offices that I had called were closed, and finally, one office answered. The Law Office of René Fabré. A lady answered and said she would leave the lawyer a message. I didn't think I'd get a call back. Then shortly after, I got a call.
René gave me great advice and a fair quote. He was extremely knowledgeable and helped ease all of my worries. I'm so glad those other guys I had called first were closed. Don't miss out on a great attorney, call René! He also has a nice office in downtown Nola, make an appt and stop by.
