Providing Aggressive Criminal Defense Services
Being formally accused of a crime is an intimidating situation, especially when you have little experience with the criminal justice system or when the charges carry serious penalties. If you or a family member has been charged with a crime, you should talk to an experienced criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.
At Lynch, Greenleaf & Michael, L.L.P., we have defended many clients against criminal charges. Contact us at our office in Iowa City to discuss what we can do to help you mount a vigorous criminal defense. We can meet prospective clients in jail if necessary.
Taking Your Side on Iowa Criminal Charges
If you've been charged with any crime — from aggravated assault to drug distribution to a traffic violation — you are presumed innocent and it is up to the prosecutor to prove you guilty. Your defense attorney's job is to protect that presumption of innocence and your right to a fair process.
No matter what you've been charged with, you should not talk to the police, prosecutors or anyone else about the facts of the case until you have consulted a criminal defense lawyer.
At Lynch, Greenleaf & Michael, L.L.P., we provide effective criminal defense representation to clients accused of Iowa felony and misdemeanor crimes. Our familiarity with the local courts, judges and prosecutors gives us an understanding of what to expect and how we can help our clients throughout the process.
Depending on the specific circumstances of your case, you may be able to assert a specific defense, you may be able to challenge the prosecution's evidence, or you may have the opportunity to pursue an alternative sentencing option. We will help you make an informed decision about what to do next.
Responding to Drunk Driving Accusations
Whether you call it OWI, DWI or DUI, drunk driving is a serious offense, and if you've been accused of it, you may be facing both criminal charges and revocation of your driving privileges by the Iowa Department of Transportation.
If you've been charged with drunk driving, you need an experienced criminal defense lawyer to help you understand and pursue your options for avoiding or reducing the most serious criminal and driver's license consequences.
At Lynch, Greenleaf & Michael, L.L.P., we regularly represent in-state and out-of-state clients who have been accused of drunk driving in Iowa. Contact us to discuss your options for responding to an OWI charge.
