What Are Your Risks In A Criminal Case?
Every criminal charge, misdemeanor or felony, carries substantial risk to you and your future. Our team has the experience to investigate your case, craft a successful defense and protect you against the charges and risks inherent in your criminal case.
Our criminal defense lawyers have experience with all criminal charges, from high-level complex federal felonies to misdemeanors in Cedar Rapids state court. Some examples are:
- Drunk driving: In Iowa, the charge is OWI, which stands for “Operating While Intoxicated.” These charges are common but can lead to loss of driving privileges, extensive fines and jail time.
- Violent crimes: Prosecutors across Iowa vigorously pursue violent felony charges, which can include anything from assault to murder to robbery to sexual assault. There is an immense amount of legal jeopardy for these charges.
- White collar crimes: These are largely financial crimes, which include fraud, embezzlement, identity theft and many technological and internet crimes. Charges like these often have federal implications.
- Property crimes: From grand theft to petty larceny to shoplifting to burglary to arson, there are many types of property crimes that you can face charges for. While not considered by most to be very serious, they can still have massive, ongoing negative consequences for you.
Our goals are to provide you with the insight you deserve into the legal charges ahead of you. We want you to know how to prepare and what to expect, and we will fight your cases for as long as it takes.
