Savannah Criminal Defense Attorney
There are two sides to every criminal case. Scott C. Robichaux has seen both. As a former prosecutor, he built cases for the state and knows exactly how they investigate, what evidence they need and where they make mistakes. At Robichaux Law Firm, he uses that insider knowledge to protect your rights and build strong criminal defense strategies. With over 15 years of experience handling everything from misdemeanors to serious felonies, Scott brings the prosecutor’s playbook to your defense.
Understanding Both Sides Of The System
A criminal defense attorney does more than argue in court. We analyze how the state gathered evidence, whether police followed proper procedures and if prosecutors can prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. Scott C. Robichaux handled felony cases as a prosecutor and understands how district attorneys evaluate criminal charges. He knows what makes a case strong and what makes it fall apart. We use this knowledge to challenge weak evidence, negotiate from strength and fight for the best possible outcome.
Handling Serious And Complex Criminal Charges
Scott prosecuted some of the most serious cases in Georgia’s criminal justice system, including murder, aggravated assault and vehicular homicide. This experience means no case is too complex or too high-stakes for our firm.
At Robichaux Law Firm, we handle both misdemeanor cases in state court and felony charges in superior court. Whether you face a first-time offense or serious felony allegations, we defend clients facing a wide range of criminal charges throughout Savannah and coastal Georgia, such as:
- DUI defense: Scott holds certifications in Standard Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) and Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), allowing him to challenge field sobriety tests and breathalyzer results
- Domestic violence: As a former instructor to police officers on domestic violence investigations, Scott understands how these cases are built and how to defend them
- Drug charges: We handle possession, distribution and trafficking cases involving marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine and prescription drugs
- Assault and battery: Defense against simple battery, aggravated assault and family violence charges
- Firearm charges: Unlawful possession, carrying without a license and weapons violations
Each practice area requires specific knowledge of Georgia law and local court procedures. We bring both to every case.
