Parallel Paths Yield Successful Outcomes
One of the emotional aspects of a criminal charge is the loss of control you may feel as your life and your future no longer seem to be in your hands. You may be scared. You may be angry that the Miranda rights were not read to you. You may be confused.
At Foster Law Office, our Iowa City criminal defense attorneys give you control over your outcome by preparing two separate and parallel paths.
- Negotiate a plea — We work with the prosecutor to come up with a negotiated plea to a lesser charge, or to lesser consequences, or to any solution that will be acceptable to our client.
- Prepare for trial — We don't wait until the negotiation is done before preparing for trial. We prepare every step of the way so that we are 100 percent ready for court should we need to go there.
At our law firm we will explain your options and then work toward the best possible outcome.
