OWI law is the most complicated and therefore misunderstood area of criminal law by both the public and practicing attorneys, which means that justice is often not served due to wrongful convictions and punishment greater than that required by law.  Attorney Todd Miler has represented persons accused of Operating While Intoxicated in Iowa since 1997.  Miler Law Firm has been located in West Des Moines since 1999.  Through the dissemination of information, Todd Miler is attempting to help the public better understand their legal rights.  You may call Todd Miler directly (515-457-9843) if you have questions about Iowa‘s criminal law.

FAQs

Civil damage lawsuits and criminal law deaths, OWI and drunk driving

What can I do if I am caught driving without a license again?  I was in an accident; I do not have a license. Took a chance to get back and work. I have been caught before and this will make it my third felony driving while suspended. The ticket written was only for not providing a license, what can I do?

Can I sue the drunk driver that caused me neck and back pain? I was rear ended by a drunk driver in November 2010. His insurance company outsourced the claim to a company that specializes in these sort of cases. I got a little money from his insurance, but not enough to cover all of my loss and expenses. Is it too late to sue? Would it even be worth it? I took the ambulance ride to the hospital to get checked out. They didn't find anything wrong. A couple of days later I had significant neck and back pain, saw a chiropractor. I still have neck and back pain that I did not have before the accident. I was a delivery driver on a delivery. I was unable to deliver after the accident.

Can a child of the drunk driver who is killed collect insurance?
