OWI or Drunk Driving Attorney in central Iowa


Posted on Feb 15, 2011

Todd Miler who shares office space with me handles OWI cases in central Iowa. His availability to me has allowed me to watch how the law works to handle the criminal defense of these cases. I've been handling the PI side of drunken driving cases now for the better part of 30 years and they can be a challenge. The law is somewhat convoluted and patched together from a public policy trying to deter drinking and driving. Of course after reading thousands of wrong-way driving news reports from all over the country the risks of drinking and driving are pretty telling. If I can answer your questions give me a call; otherwise here today are the news items for Iowa about OWI, drinking and driving or drunk driving as it's commonly referred to.

OWI is a serious problem and when the police arrest you for OWI or OUI the criminal system can be a puzzle. What do you say and to who? Who do you have to talk to? When should you not talk to anyone? Was it only a field sobriety test that the police officer performed? If you're innocent you need to prove it or make it so they can't prove otherwise. Even if you want to plead guilty you should get the same treatment someone in your position receives. OWI-1sts, OWI-2nd's and others are what we handle. No one should have to go through an OWI prosectution alone. Call me and I'll help you find an attorney for less than the $2,500.00 everyone else is charging. Call Steve Lombardi, 515-222-1110 or send me an email or text message to sdlombardi@aol.com. Lombardi Law Firm, 1300 -  37th Street, Suite 6, West Des Moines, Iowa 50266.

FAQs

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

Do I have to be present during settlement? Do I have to be with my lawyer when a settlement is made for my personal injury claim? I really do not want to face my neighbors right now. My son was bitten by their dog and they claim that it was my son's fault. I want my solicitor to stick to the amount that I want them to pay me. Can my solicitor make the settlement in my behalf?

Can we sue someone who hit us after a DUI? My pregnant wife was driving the car and a drunk driver hit us and ruined the car. Cops came and gave the guy a DUI. No injuries but I am wondering, am I obligated to a claim because now she is scared to drive or be inside a car.

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?
