Criminal Defense
Branstad & Olson is a Des Moines law firm practicing primarily in the area of Criminal Law. We are committed to giving clients a voice through advocacy and innovative problem solving. Our team has more than 65 years of collective experience and is devoted to delivering personalized representation while pursuing the best possible outcome for our clients.
DUI/DWI
Our Des Moines DUI attorneys at Branstad & Olson represents clients facing charges for OWI throughout Iowa. If you have been arrested for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, you face driver’s license suspension, fines, jail time, and probation. Law enforcement has strict rules they must follow when investigating and arresting a person for suspicion of driving while intoxicated. It is essential to have an experienced Des Moines OWI lawyer on your side to help assess your situation and reach your best outcome.
Sex Crimes
The penalties for sexual offenders are often secondary to the shame and embarrassment before, during and after a case. If convicted, sex offenders may be required to publicly register in a database where anyone can see the allegations and the offender’s home address. They may also face the negative stigma associated with sex crimes. This long-term damage is part of the consideration by skilled defenders like those at Branstad & Olson.
Robbery
In Iowa, it is unlawful for any person to intentionally deprive another individual of their property without consent. Numerous types of theft offenses exist, including theft of personal property, vehicles, money, credit cards, or even another person’s identity. Fraud, robbery, and embezzlement are also considered types of thefts in Iowa.
Burglary
Theft or burglary: Depending on the value of the item taken, theft can be charged as a class C or D felony. Burglary can be charged as a class B, C, or D felony depending on the circumstances.
Theft
Misdemeanors
In Iowa, a misdemeanor is considered to be a crime. Misdemeanors are less serious than felonies and are usually punishable by fines, probation, or up to one year in jail, depending on the severity of the offense. Eventually, multiple misdemeanors may lead to a felony charge.
Embezzlement
Drug Crimes
Because drugs pose risks to the health and safety of individuals and the community as a whole, various laws exist prohibiting practically any conduct involving them. For instance, making, delivering, possessing, or even having instruments to use controlled substances can result in criminal charges. In Iowa, the level of charge levied for a drug crime depends on the specifics of the circumstances, but a conviction for any offense can result in severe penalties, including fines and incarceration – in some cases, a judge may impose a minimum term of imprisonment. If you have been charged with a drug offense, reach out to the Des Moines drug crime attorneys at Branstad & Olson to discuss your case.
Assault
Assault: Felony assault charges typically stem from allegations involving a serious injury. Assault causing a serious injury, where the person did not intend to cause an injury, is a class d felony Iowa. Assault where a person intended to cause a serious injury and did cause that injury, is a class C felony.
Murder
Sometimes successful representation means trial. Although there is never a guaranteed outcome, we have a record of obtaining not guilty verdicts from seat belt tickets to vehicular homicide to murder in the first degree. In short, we know the best results come from the best preparation. No one can guarantee an acquittal, but we guarantee we will be prepared if we go to trial.
Juvenile Crimes
Young people make errors in judgment – it is part of the growing process. When those errors lead to a run-in with the law, there may be immediate and long-term consequences. Our Iowa juvenile crimes lawyers at Branstad & Olson are here to help you protect your child’s rights through every stage of the legal process.
Homicide
Shoplifting
Shoplifting / Theft: If a person unlawfully appropriates property of another and the value is $1,500 or less, they could be charged with a simple, serious, or aggravated misdemeanor.
Restraining Order
In addition to the above fines and jail time, individuals charged with domestic abuse are often subject to a no-contact order (restraining order), preventing them from being near, calling, texting, or communicating with the alleged victim. This can severely disrupt a person’s life during a case and lead to additional penalties and jail time if the no-contact order is violated.
Manslaughter
In Iowa, the juvenile court has jurisdiction over cases involving minors. In the State of Iowa, most minors accused of delinquent acts will have their case heard by the juvenile court, rather than the adult criminal court. However, in certain circumstances, a minor may be tried as an adult. For example, youths over 16 years of age or youths accused of committing a violent felony, such as sexual assault, manslaughter, or murder, may be tried as an adult if certain requirements are met.
Prostitution
Prostitution: Under Iowa Code § 725.1, a person who offers to engage in sexual conduct in exchange for something of value commits an aggravated misdemeanor.
