Extensive Experience in OWI / DUI Defense

Farnsworth Law PLC offers clients high-quality, solutions-oriented legal services that are focused on results. Don't let one bad decision or an overly aggressive law enforcement officer change the course of your life. Whether you are an established professional, college student at the University of Iowa, or just entering the job market, an Operating While Intoxicated charge for drugs or alcohol can have life long consequences. Mr. Farnsworth has dedicated his career to this area of the law. He gleaned insight as to how to defend these cases while working for the Iowa Department of Corrects, Johnson County Prosecutors Office, and years of study in private practice. A first offense drunk driving carries with it 2 days in jail up to 365 days. A second offense drunk driving carries with it 7 days in jail up to 2 years in prison. A third offense is a felony and carries with it a mandatory 30 days in jail up to five years in prison. Maximum jail time is rarely sought and generally should not be a worry for those that are charged. That said the wheels of justice moves slow developing a defense and negotiating an appropriate outcome or in the alternative preparing the case for trial requires an attorney that understands the process from arrest to disposition. Mr. Farnsworth has received some of the same training law enforcement officers have gone through. He is certified in standardized field sobriety testing and on the Datamaster DMT. He has participated in countless DOT hearings and reviewed thousands of hours of videos in his career. Few attorneys in the State of Iowa possess the breadth of knowledge that Mr. Farnsworth has learned. From the client intake to the disposition of a case Mr. Farnsworth understand each client and case is unique. Fair too often I hear from new clients that their experience with a prior attorney lacked communication. Or that the prior attorney did not recognize him/her in court. The said truth is that some attorneys run their shop as a client mill trying to maximize the numbers of hire and minimize the actual work done. Mr. Farnsworth offers a white glove treatment with unlimited calls, emails and in person meetings. He will not promise you rainbows and unicorns, nor will he threaten hell fire and damnation. Hiring an attorney to defend an Driving While Intoxicated Case is an important decision. You must feel like your attorney is genuine, and not just giving you lip service to collect a fee. Mr. Farnsworth state of the art software management system and unique approach to OWI defense allows immediate communications at all hours of the day. Regardless of whether you hire Mr. Farnsworth or stick with the public defender, or retain a less expensive attorney you will leave the consult with a full understanding as to the consequences of an OWI and how they should be defended.
