About

I am 1989 graduate of  the University of South Carolina Honors College, magna cum laude,and a 1993 graduate of the University of Chicago Law School. While in law school, I completed a clinical education program with a concentration in criminal law.  After graduation I began my career as an assistant public defender with the Cook County Public Defender s Office in Chicago. I have been a criminal lawyer, and only a criminal lawyer, ever since.In 1996, I returned to New Orleans, establishing my professional career with the Orleans Parish Public Defender’s Office. In early 1998, I established NOLA Criminal Law, because I sensed there was a need for a lawyer like me – a lawyer who was willing to try to do things a little bit differently than most. What I mean is this: sometimes lawyers don’t make any sense. Sometimes clients feel like their lawyer doesn’t understand them or their problems. In criminal law especially, effective communication is HUGE. If your lawyer doesn’t understand your problem, your lawyer can’t help you solve it.NOLA Criminal Law exists because I want to understand your problem. It exists because I am interested in being a lawyer without always having to act like a lawyer (I do, however, dress like a lawyer). I promise that I will act like a regular person, who happens also to be a good lawyer.NOLA Criminal Law also exists because I want to help solve your problem. My goal is to provide a top-notch professional service to all of my clients, while still maintaining a level of personal dedication to each individual client. I promise that your criminal problem, whatever it is, will get the attention it deserves, and hopefully the result you expect.NOLA Criminal Law also exists because it is my experience that when you have a criminal problem, you need a criminal lawyer. Over the course of my career, I have handled well over four thousand felony criminal cases, hundreds of DWI case, and countless misdemeanor and traffic cases. I promise you the fruits of that experience when I show up in court to handle your case.Please explore the rest of this website, and if you have questions or concerns please call, text, email or tweet me anytime.

I hired Mr. Myers when I was visiting New Orleans and got into legal trouble. Mr. Meyers zealously advocated on my behalf and the case against me was dismissed. Then years later while being admitted to the Bar as an attorney myself, Mr. Meyers was there to answer all my questions and help me through the process of disclosing my situation to the Board. He already had my money and completed his required service, the extra time and consideration shows that he truly cares about not only his client's present legal dilemma but their future. Mr. Myers is a rare breed of attorney. Highly recommend him for all legal services.

My experience was absolutely outstanding. Mr Myers was more than attentive but very compassionate with my specific case. His expertise and knowledge of the legal system made my court case very relaxed and I would not hesitate to say that if you have any doubts about who to turn to, call him. He will definitely put your mind at ease in a heartbeat. I am forever grateful for his help.

I found him randomly online. I have never had a legal situation where I needed a lawyer. He was much more than I expected. He is very professional and gets the job done. I felt confident that he would do his best and he did. He did a good job and I am pleased with the result. I highly recommend him and his fees are reasonable.

I was arrested in NOLA 14 years ago and asked Mr. Myers for help with the expungement process. I was concerned about hiring a lawyer in NOLA while living in Florida. But, Mr. Myers proved to be very trustworthy and straightforward. He always answered my questions within a few hours by phone, email or text. He completed work when he said they were going to be done. I wish I got him to handle my original case.

I am very happy with the results that Mr. Myers obtained on my case. From the beginning of the case, Mr. Myers was very confident of the outcome of the case and he definitely obtained those results. He got my case dismissed.

I was visiting from California as first-time New Orleans tourist/party-goer and found myself looking at a drug possession charge (a felony in Louisiana). After bailing out and making it back to Los Angeles, I called several attorneys in New Orleans and found Townsend to be the only straight-shooter of the bunch. Many lawyers told me anything I wanted to hear and it became obvious they were only interested in winning my business, but Towsend gave me honest, consultative, no-BS advice and earned my trust. From the time I retained him until the time he got my case dismissed (roughly 3 months), he was there with me every step of the way and was always available via cell phone and e-mail (excellent service) to break things down in layman's terms. Sometimes good people find themselves in bad situations, so if you ever run into trouble in New Orleans, I can tell you from experience that Townsend has the skills, experience, and resources to help solve your legal problems.

Mr. Myers has the highest of determination, integrity and skills, not to mention an awesome network of contacts to make things happen in the criminal legal system! He is adept and articulate while also being personable. Many in his field lack the class and aplomb he has to finish the job and do so with no worries of it coming back to bite you! Thanks so much for completing what your less than equal peers promised they had completed and for saving my federal career. Need criminal representation? Ask for Townsend Myers!

Townsend Myers didn't just dominate the courtroom. He calmed my family and myself, by explaining the situation in a way in which we could understand and represented us with the utmost respect and confidentiality. He is a calming person in general. Having him next to you is like standing aside a mountain. Thanks again for everything Towns!For

Townsend was the second criminal lawyer I worked with to resolve a traffic issue, and the difference was like night and day. My first attorney was shady, unreliable, impossible to reach and never explained what was going on. Townsend, on the other hand, was always available, showed up at court on time, kept me informed, and did an incredible job cleaning up the mess that had been made attempting to "win" the case by postponing it for two years, which was my first lawyer's plan. When I ran out of money, I was on my own. Fortunately Townsend worked with me on the price, has made me feel confident everything will be taken care of, and made the whole experience a lot less scary. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a criminal lawyer.
