At the Law Group of Iowa, we understand that facing any kind of criminal offense can be a stressful, and even scary, time in a person’s life. The outcome of a criminal case can have ramifications that can follow a person for the rest of their life. A conviction can interfere with a person’s ability to seek employment, find a place to live, and obtain financial assistance. In Iowa, a person who is convicted of a felony permanently loses their right to vote unless those rights are restored by the governor. If you have been arrested and charged with a crime, call our office immediately to speak with a criminal defense lawyer in Des Moines, IA.

If you are being investigated for a crime or have already been charged, do not delay contacting the Law Group of Iowa. The longer you wait, the more time the prosecutor and the police have to build a case against you without anyone advocating for you and ensuring your constitutional rights are protected. A conviction of the charges you are facing or even just the arrest may also have other legal consequences that you may be unaware of.
For example, a criminal conviction could have an impact on your parenting time and provide your child’s other parent with ammunition to file a child custody modification. Another issue may be how any criminal charges could affect your employment situation.
