Criminal Defense – Newton
When you need a criminal defense attorney, you don’t have to choose between someone who will fight for you and someone who will care about you. You can have an attorney who cares for your well-being and fights hard for you with trial-tested skills. That’s who we are.
At Lombardi & Miler Law Firm PLLC, we are a group of criminal defense attorneys who fight for people in Newton and all over Iowa. We have the experience to craft a strong defense, and we have the empathy to understand what you’re going through emotionally. Your criminal charges are the biggest challenge you’ll ever face. But you won’t face it alone. We’ll be with you.
Why You Should Exercise Your Right To Remain Silent
Police are not on your side. It seems obvious to say that to someone facing pending criminal charges, but it’s true of nearly everyone. Witnesses, bystanders, passengers in vehicles and police want to catch you. That’s what their job is, and they are good at it.
Many people believe that when they decide to talk to the police, they are making a reasonable choice. Likewise, they believe that the police will reasonably use any information in these conversations. But that’s a misguided perspective. Police use the words spoken to them to build evidence and secure warrants to arrest people.
Exercising your right to remain silent is the best thing you can do if you are facing criminal charges such as:
- OUI
- White collar crimes
- Sex crimes
- Weapons charges
- Drug charges
You should let us take on the burden of speaking with the police for you. We know how to deliver information without jeopardizing your rights or freedom. We can also evaluate whether police need to know anything you’d tell them. We’re here to protect your rights and freedom; that’s what our job is and what we’re good at.
The Jail And Prison System In Newton
As attorneys, we frequently meet with clients who are incarcerated. For clients who are not yet convicted or serving a misdemeanor sentence, we often meet with them at:
- Jasper County Jail – https://unioncountyiowa.org/iowa/county-jail/jasper-county-jail/
For clients in prison for felonies or seeking appeal, we may often go into these facilities in Jasper County:
- Iowa Correctional Institution for Women – https://doc.iowa.gov/districts-prisons/iowa-correctional-institution-women
- Newton Correctional Facility – https://doc.iowa.gov/districts-prisons/newton-correctional-facility
Our familiarity with the prison system is something we share with our clients and families so they can best stay in touch. And we can best help our clients with their cases and appeals as needed.
Dedication You Can Count On
