Sioux City Criminal Defense Lawyers: We Fight For You

Sioux City – statistically speaking – has a high crime rate. There are any number of factors that go into these statistics, and for most, it’s just that: a statistic. The criminal activity in Sioux City really may only matter to you when it turns out you’re the subject of an investigation and need a criminal defense lawyer.

At Babich Sarcone Attorneys at Law, we defend clients facing criminal charges, and we’ve had a great deal of success doing that. From Sioux City to Des Moines, we’ve helped our clients overcome some of the most devastating charges imaginable. We do it by offering real answers and compassionate defense.

How We Build Your Criminal Defense Strategy

When you contact our team of criminal defense lawyers after you’ve been charged with a crime such as drunk driving, a drug offense or domestic assault, we get to work. We will talk to you directly about the circumstances of your charge and hire a private investigator if necessary.

You may be surprised – however – that we may ask you relatively little about the circumstances of your charge if you are in jail. Once we can speak privately, we may eventually want more details, but the immediate aftermath of getting arrested is not the time because all jail phone calls are recorded. We’ll ask questions such as:

• How long have you been in custody?
• Have you said anything to the police?
• Did they read you your rights?
• Were you hurt during the arrest in any way?

Hiring a criminal defense attorney early on in your criminal case is especially important. The earlier we can investigate your case, review the police reports and talk to witnesses, the more success we can have protecting your rights.

Police Overreach Can Work In Your Favor

Police have immense power to search your home or business, seize your property and arrest you. The Constitution limits those crime control powers and Courts are supposed to uphold the Constitution. Thus, police power is not unlimited. In fact, there are very real limits to how far a police officer can and should go when conducting interviews or searches.

We closely review all of the tactics police use against you during your arrest and find all of the ways they may have violated your Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendment rights and put your freedom at risk. We put the case against you under a microscope to ensure your rights are respected at every step.
