About Our Law Firm
We represent people charged with criminal offenses in Iowa City and the surrounding counties.
Attorney and Former Magistrate Judge Mark Thompson
Our boutique Iowa City law firm practices solely criminal defense, primarily Operating While Intoxicated / OWI cases. We do not dilute our practice with other areas of law, which allows us to be as focused and as experienced as possible on your pending case.
Criminal Defense Lawyer Mark Thompson has been working in criminal law for over 20 years. As an attorney, he has represented thousands of defendants in district court, in jurisdictions all over Eastern Iowa, but primarily in Iowa City.
Mark served as a Magistrate Judge for the Sixth Judicial District, in Johnson County, Iowa, for over 7 years.
During this time he gained unparallelled insight on how criminal cases are handled from the other side of the bench.
Mark worked as the defense attorney for the Johnson County Drug Treatment court for over 8 years. Through that position he counseled high-level drug offenders, working closely with the Department of Corrections, Johnson County Attorney’s Office, substance abuse counselors, and the District Court. Mark has also handled contract appointments for the Iowa State Public Defender.
Now he focuses solely on his private practice.
Criminal Defense and OWI / DUI Cases
Our firm has successfully won jury trials, forced State’s evidence to be suppressed, negotiated favorable plea agreements, and gained dismissals for our clients. Mark is highly experienced, has excellent communication, and gets the best results. We work with the criminal courts and Iowa Department of Transportation to help mitigate the criminal penalties and driving sanctions associated with an OWI.
Representing College Students
Mark has worked with hundreds of students at the University of Iowa. Students can be charged with OWI, Possession of Fictitious ID, Possession of Controlled Substances, Public Intoxication, and various alcohol-related crimes. With our specialized case load and highly focused practice you will get the expert attention you need.
Our past clients agree.
