State Criminal Law Attorneys
The first day after being arrested or charged with a crime is crucial for the accused. An attorney can give advice about what to do, explain what the charges mean, and explain what the potential implications are. When faced with state criminal law charges, having an attorney can make the difference between staying in jail or going home. The criminal law attorneys at the Des Moines, Iowa, law firm of Graves Law Firm, P.C., do everything possible to provide solutions to meet their clients' goals -- solutions which are realistic given the circumstances. If you have a state criminal law concern, please contact our office at 515.309.3776 to arrange for your free initial consultation.
We represent clients in state crime matters, including the following:
- Assault and domestic abuse
- Drug crimes
- Theft
- Burglary and robbery
- Violent crimes, including murder
- Rape, sexual assault, and other sex offenses
- Sex offender registry cases
- OWI / DWI
- Child Endangerment / Elder Abuse / Neglect of a Dependent Person

- Criminal driving cases: Willful injury and assault by motor vehicles
Even though we assist clients in plea bargain negotiations and deal, we vigorously prepare each case as if it were going to trial. This preparation not only leads to better deals being offered, but in the event the case does go to trial, we are not blindsided and are prepared to present our clients case. Our state criminal law attorneys are skilled at preparing witnesses and getting to know the opposition's arguments and weaknesses. Because we build relationships with our clients we are able to present the whole story to judges and juries. Our lawyers are attuned to our clients' constitutional rights and are able to prepare motions to suppress evidence obtained in violation of those rights.
We take it personally
For many lawyers, what they do is just a job. That's not the case with us. We take it personally. We want to see our clients better off, moving in the right direction. If you have a federal criminal law or state criminal law legal issue, please contact our office. Call our office by phone at 515.309.3776 to arrange for your free initial consultation.
