Van Winkle Law Office

I'm former prosecutor Heidi Van Winkle. I provide aggressive representation and have a reputation for results. I am widely known as a driven and hard worker and will be tenacious in fighting for your rights. As a former assistant Des Moines County attorney and lifelong resident of the Burlington area, I know the local justice system inside and out.

I am intimately familiar with the courts, law enforcement, prosecutors and all aspects of criminal law that may bear on your case. My experience as a former prosecutor equips me with the skills and ability to spot weaknesses in the state's case against you and effectively present a strong defense. Criminal charges often have a far-reaching impact.

A conviction can spur a chain reaction, affecting your reputation, employment prospects, housing, ability to own or carry firearms and, potentially, your freedom. That's why you need a strong attorney on your side. When enlisting the services of a criminal defense lawyer, your most pressing concern is likely whether you will obtain a positive result.
