Criminal Defense – Indianola
The first job of a criminal defense lawyer is to stand between you and the authorities. It’s a duty that we take seriously and commit fully to for each person that comes to our firm. But it’s not the only first thing we do.
At Lombardi & Miler Law Firm PLLC, we do more than protect your rights. We fight for you. Clients from Indianola and all over Iowa come to us for the compassion and empathy that we offer. Facing criminal charges is often one of the most serious legal situations you can encounter. You need a criminal defense attorney who will help you handle the sheer magnitude of the stress and fear ahead.
We Answer Your Questions
One way we help you deal with the stress is to take away some of the confusion and mystery you face in any way we can. That means giving you the answers you need right now to questions like:
Do I need an attorney for my OUI?
While you can defend yourself in any case, you don’t have the experience, understanding of the law or familiarity with the courts in Iowa to represent yourself effectively. An attorney has all that and, furthermore, is an objective third party that you can turn to for advice on how to overcome the legal struggles ahead.
How much does it cost to get a criminal defense attorney?
Attorneys all set their own prices, though there are resources for free legal representation through the public defenders’ office. However, public defenders are often overworked, overscheduled and inexperienced. A private criminal defense attorney, while likely a higher upfront cost, may have much more success in saving you from long-term legal problems.
How much should I talk to the police?
Speaking with the police freely and without representation is always a mistake. They will use your words against you and twist the information you give them to find a way to implicate you. Exercising your right to remain silent is your best defense here.
