Helping Develop a Strong Defense Against Violent Crime Charges

When it comes to criminal charges, Iowa residents are aware some allegations are more serious than others. The severity of the crime in conjunction with the accused's criminal history could result in a defendant facing harsh penalties if a conviction ensues. Because of that, understanding the circumstances surrounding the alleged crime as well as the rights and options available to defendants could help with the assertion of a strong and effective criminal defense.

Violent crimes are crimes society takes seriously and are likely to be offenses that carry with them severe consequences. Whether a defendant is accused of battery, manslaughter, aggravated assault or murder, the details of the criminal allegation alone could cause the accused to suffer harm to his or her personal and professional reputation. At J. Dean Keegan, Eric D.
