Legal Question in Traffic Law in Louisiana

Judges don't represent anyone. In traffic cases (all criminal cases), the state is represented by the district attorney (or city attorney or attorney general, depending on the venue). The Judge doesn't represent the state and is there to be impartial and judge the evidence on the merits. Since your case is filed under "Traffic Law", I will assume you have a traffic court appearance coming up. I handle a lot of traffic court cases and I think I know your real question. Many people assume that, if their case comes down to their word against the police officer's word, the Judge will always believe the officer no matter what. I can tell you that is not the case. Most Judges are fair and willing to listen to both sides at trial.

My best advice, by the way, is to get a lawyer! Don't go into ANY court--even traffic court--without a lawyer!
