Experience on Both Sides of the Criminal Justice System
Fred C. LeBleu has spent his legal career in Louisiana courtrooms, handling criminal matters from different perspectives.
After completing his legal education at the LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center, Fred returned to Southwest Louisiana and began his career in the Public Defender’s Office. He later served as an Assistant District Attorney with the Calcasieu Parish District Attorney’s Office before entering private practice and continuing his work as a criminal defense attorney.
That background gives Fred practical insight into how criminal cases are investigated, prosecuted, challenged, and resolved. Today, The LeBleu Law Firm represents individuals facing serious criminal allegations in Lake Charles and across Louisiana.

Focused Defense When the Stakes Are High
Every criminal case presents different facts, risks, and legal issues. The LeBleu Law Firm approaches each matter by reviewing the evidence, identifying potential legal and factual weaknesses, and determining the strategy best suited to the client’s circumstances.
The goal is not to apply the same defense to every case. It is to understand what happened, determine what the prosecution can prove, and pursue the most appropriate available outcome.
DUI & DWI Defense
The firm evaluates issues such as the basis for the traffic stop, officer observations, field sobriety procedures, chemical testing, and other evidence that may affect a DUI or DWI case.
Drug Crime Defense
In drug cases, the defense may involve examining how evidence was discovered, whether a search or seizure was lawful, who possessed the alleged substance, and whether the state can establish each required element of the offense.
