My law firm is able to provide excellent service and highly-knowledgeable advice due to the limited number and type of cases that we accept.
First off, we only take criminal cases. That means that our knowledge base is not diluted by spending time with lawsuits, civil cases, divorces, wills, real estate, traffic tickets or any other type of law.
We specialize in criminal law, which allows us to stay focused on the type of law that matters to our clients.
If you were having eye surgery, would you visit a general practitioner or an ophthalmologist?
Specifically, we only take a certain type of criminal case: Charges that are drug or alcohol-related. This includes OWI/DUI, possession of controlled substances (drugs), possession with intent to deliver/delivery of controlled substances, drug tax stamps, running a drug house, promoting a drug gathering, and possession of drug paraphernalia charges.
We also counsel on many of the “drinking” charges such as public intoxication, possession of fake ID, PAULA, in bar under 21 and misuse of ID.
We limit our practice geographically. A vast majority of our cases are in Johnson County (Iowa City), followed by Linn County (Cedar Rapids), and to a lesser extent, Cedar County, Iowa County, and the remaining counties in this area.
I do not feel that I could help a Des Moines or Waterloo client as much as a local attorney could, so we do not take cases there. A local attorney has the advantage of knowing the local judges and prosecutors, and what the likely outcome would be for the case.
Since a majority of our clients are students, and mainly at the University of Iowa, we can provide advice on the impact these criminal charges can have on that student’s enrollment and criminal history.
We have handled hundreds of cases of this nature. So regarding that eye surgery, you would certainly choose a doctor that has performed that exact operation, under the same conditions, hundreds of times.
That is what you are getting when you call us. So please do, but only if you have a criminal case involving drugs or alcohol, in the counties local to Iowa City. We will be pleased to help you.
