A Close Look At Our Practice
We prioritize sound, considered, experienced legal strategies to approach every criminal charge facing our clients. We take on all criminal cases from felonies to misdemeanors, such as:
- College OWIs: Many college students find themselves in difficult positions when embracing new freedoms. We help protect their rights, freedoms and future.
- Violent crimes: Whether misdemeanors or felonies, violent crimes are serious enough to require an experienced attorney to fight for you.
- White collar crimes: Typically, white collar crimes like fraud or embezzlement are pursued as federal charges, but not always; in either case, we can represent you against these charges.
- Sex offenses: Among the most serious of charges that can be levied against a person, sex offense allegations require specific knowledge of the law that our attorneys provide.
We have a wide-ranging criminal law practice and defend clients in all circumstances in all places in Iowa. Whether your case is in federal or state court, a felony or misdemeanor, we stand ready to build a smart, thoughtful strategy for your defense.
What Does A Strategic Defense Look Like?
There are some aspects of a defense that are given:
- Limit how much you speak to prosecutors or police.
- Control how much you disclose on social media and to friends or family.
However, those are two small pieces of a much larger, much more complex legal reality facing you. To be strategic in your defense, we must do certain things such as:
- Investigate all potential witnesses
- Obtain all video footage
- Sometimes hire a private investigator
- Thoroughly examine the State’s evidence
- Negotiate a plea deal even if you don’t want to take one
- Most importantly, listen to what you have to say
When we do these things, we can build a strategy to resolve your case. We will fight your fight in accordance with your goals and needs, and we will not back down.
