In Iowa, assault can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony, which means that a court can impose severe penalties upon a conviction.
It also means that if you're found guilty, you could feel the effects for the rest of your life.
Unless you take specific action to have an eligible assault charge or conviction removed, the mark will remain on your record forever.
Because anyone can access your record, important decisions concerning your future can be influenced by your criminal history, even if it's a mistake you learned and grew from.
In Iowa, criminal mischief is a felony or misdemeanor offense carrying heavy penalties.
If you have been accused, a conviction could turn your life upside down, as you face not only incarceration and/or fines but also a criminal record that could place various limitations on you.
Just because you are facing charges does not mean you are guilty of the alleged conduct.
To attack the allegations made against you, it is imperative to have a skillful and aggressive attorney on your side.
At Branstad & Olson, our Des Moines criminal mischief lawyers know the life-altering consequences of a conviction, which is why we do everything in our legal power to fight these serious charges.
