Criminal Defense – Johnston
Last updated on February 24, 2025
You are more than the charges and allegations you’re facing in Johnston. You are more than the things that police and prosecutors say. You deserve help, care and empathy. And we promise to give it to you.
At Lombardi & Miler Law Firm PLLC, we are dedicated to your criminal defense. We are trial-tested, yes. But we’re also people. We’ve seen how the law and justice system can treat people indifferently and coldly. We stand up for our clients because their rights demand it and their dignity deserves it.
Why You Need A Criminal Defense Attorney
You have the ability to represent yourself in a criminal trial, but that’s not the wisest of choices. You may be a passionate speaker and may even be totally innocent of the charges against you, but you have several major disadvantages. Your knowledge of the law, specifically the law regarding your charges, may not be there. There are many complexities in the law around charges such as:
- White collar crime
- Weapons charges
- Drunk driving
- Drug charges
- Sex crimes
Not knowing those legal intricacies leaves you wide open to complex, sophisticated prosecutorial tactics. You may also be fully ignorant of due process and the court system and commit infractions that hurt your case.
However, as your attorneys, we understand how to try cases, how to build defenses and, most of all, how to keep you in control. Your best chance of controlling the way your trial goes is by giving us the chance to fight for you.
Appeals And Post-Conviction Relief
A large piece of our service includes providing what is called “post-conviction relief” to people. This could be pursuing an appeal of your conviction. It could also include seeking early release for one reason or another.
We work with clients incarcerated across the state, including:
- Polk County Jail – https://www.polkcountyiowa.gov/county-sheriff/detention/
- Anamosa State Penitentiary – https://doc.iowa.gov/districts-prisons/anamosa-state-penitentiary
- Iowa Medical and Classification Center – https://doc.iowa.gov/districts-prisons/iowa-medical-and-classification-center
And we offer the people who come to us options and insight into the next step. Just because you are in prison doesn’t mean that has to be the rest of your life.
Trust In Us To Care For You
Our goal is to be the attorneys you need both to defend yourself and protect your rights, and also to turn to when the challenges become too overwhelming. We are empathetic to you, and we are ready to help you take control and fight for yourself. Call 515-513-5324 or send an email using this online form.
