Criminal Defense
Criminal Defense Lawyer in Des Moines, Iowa
If you have been charged with a crime, the first step you should take is to retain an experienced and aggressive criminal defense attorney to represent you. The criminal justice system in Iowa is designed to penalize offenders, not to protect the rights of individuals.
Too often, criminal cases are only about the deal. Our attorneys know how to negotiate and plea bargain with prosecutors to reduce any potential penalties you may face. However, we are also willing and able to try your case if necessary to help you obtain the best possible outcome in your case.
At Kragnes & Associates in Des Moines, Iowa, we handle all criminal charges from traffic matters, to class A felonies, to kidnapping and murder. We represent first-time offenders as well as repeat clients.

One of the penalties that you will face shortly after your arrest is the civil suspension of your driver's license.
Pleading guilty to a drug charge will result in a criminal record that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
With any sex crime, there is a potential for sex offender registration: a devastating penalty that will change how you live your life, and impose restrictions on where you can live and reside in the future.
Child pornography charges can affect everyone from an adult who accidentally downloads kiddie porn images on a home computer to a high school student who transmits pictures of his 16-year-old girlfriend to a buddy on a cell phone.
Most of the people who are charged with white-collar crimes are not greedy corporate executives. They are average people who have never been in legal trouble before: accountants, realtors, bank loan officers, doctors, contractors and small business owners.
The stakes are high in federal cases. There is no probation at the federal level, so even first-time offenders will be looking at a prison sentence if convicted.
