If you’ve been arrested or charged with a crime in the Iowa Quad Cities — whether in Davenport, Bettendorf, or neighboring Scott County communities — the consequences can be life-changing. Iowa’s criminal statutes carry serious penalties, and local prosecutors aggressively pursue convictions, especially in high-profile or repeat cases.
Navigating the criminal justice system in Iowa can be overwhelming — especially in the Quad Cities region, where cases are handled swiftly and penalties can be severe. Whether you’re facing charges in Davenport, Bettendorf, or anywhere in Scott County, having a dedicated criminal defense attorney by your side is critical. Iowa law classifies crimes as either misdemeanors or felonies, with potential penalties ranging from fines and probation to years in prison. The sooner you retain experienced legal counsel, the better your chances of protecting your record, your rights, and your freedom.
Iowa law penalizes OWI offenses heavily, including license revocation, ignition interlocks, and mandatory jail time. Whether it’s your first offense or a repeat, we evaluate the stop, the testing procedures, and work to suppress flawed evidence.
Possession, manufacturing, or intent to deliver — all drug charges require a thorough defense. Even small amounts can carry major consequences depending on prior history or location (e.g., school zones).
Charges like aggravated assault, robbery, or attempted murder can mean decades in prison. We pursue self-defense and lack-of-intent strategies, backed by expert testimony if needed.
Theft crimes range from minor shoplifting to felony-level burglary. We challenge intent, ownership disputes, and evidence handling to protect your name.
Embezzlement, fraud, and forgery cases require careful handling of financial evidence and forensic review. Our defense team knows how to fight complex paper trails and build a narrative in your favor.
We advocate for minors facing criminal charges, seeking diversion, record sealing, and family-based solutions whenever possible.
A conviction for any criminal charge in Iowa can have long-lasting consequences. Beyond jail or prison time, you may face license suspension, loss of employment, immigration issues, and the stigma of a permanent record. Iowa’s laws also impose mandatory minimums for some offenses and limit eligibility for expungement in others. That’s why every defense starts with a thorough review of the charges, the evidence, and any constitutional violations — such as unlawful searches or Miranda violations.
Stay silent and ask for an attorney immediately. Do not explain or justify anything to officers without legal counsel present.
