Working with Bobby was amazing. He was able to get my charge dismissed and expunged. Madisyn made the process simple and easy. Would definitely make sure you hire this firm if you need legal counsel as they both made the process simplified, streamlined and painless. Thanks! 5.0 stars Posted by anonymousFebruary 19, 2024
I hired Robert from GRL to represent me at the suggestion from a co-worker who had used GRL before. Robert represented me for an OWI charge. From my first conversation with him Robert was open and easy to talk to. I explained my situation and he was confident he could help me. Robert, Madisyn and the whole team at GRL were helpful, pleasant and supportive thru the entire ordeal. Thru diligent work and attention to detail Robert managed to get the charge amended to public intoxication, with no suspension to my license or ill effect to my insurance. I will […]
The district court in northwest Iowa recently granted the State’s Motion to Dismiss following a ruling suppressing the results of a blood test obtained through implied consent. The drugged driving attorneys at GRL Law challenged the test results under Iowa Code section 321J.11, the state’s independent testing law. The state trooper originally requested a urine sample. Our client agreed and also requested a blood sample. Under Iowa law, you can get an independent sample as long as you take the officer’s requested test. Rather than obtain both a urine and blood sample, however, the trooper simply changed his request to […]
Follow the process. That’s what the drunk driving defense lawyers at GRL Law do with every OWI. We meticulously sift through every bit of evidence in a case. Every second of video. Each word of an officer’s narrative. All in search of a defense. And when we find that gold nugget? It can change everything. Take a recent felony OWI matter in southern Iowa. The Iowa State Patrol claimed our client “refused” a urine test for marijuana metabolites. The stakes were definitely high. Felony OWI convictions can result in lengthy prison or jail sentences and long license revocations. By applying […]
Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa. GRL’s client put on a clinic on how to appropriately interact with law enforcement while effectively invoking her rights. She was compliant, polite, and respectful while still confidently invoking her rights. The result was the charge of Operating While Intoxicated being amended to a simple misdemeanor public intoxication charge.
I am writing to commend Ms. Sydney Ross on her exemplary handling of my recent OWI on a golf cart case in Allamakee County. Ms. Ross was kind, considerate, aggressive, and most of all knowledgeable about the application of law in all four of my charges. Sydney took the time to understand all facets of my case. Her prompt replies to my inquiries assured me I was in capable and expert hands. She was able to access the discovery materials to determine the inaccuracy of the arresting officer’s assumptions. Those materials also included the blood alcohol level way below the […]
We love when clients express their gratitude for our efforts on their cases. Here is a recent example of the gratitude expressed a happy OWI client Attorney Matt Lindholm recently had! Wow… that WAS quick! Thank you so much for everything your office has done for me over the past few months. Your communication has been impeccable and I want you to know that I appreciate that. You’ve been worth every penny. Thank you so much! Best, -Bryan
GRL recently secured another NFG when the Bremer County Attorney dismissed a marijuana OWI on the eve of trial. While there were a number of problems with the state’s case, the one that tipped the scales the most was the officer’s plain view observation of “marijuana bud” in the passenger compartment. That turned out to be a piece of Lactuca sativa otherwise know as . . . Wait for it. Lettuce. That’s right. He seized that other green leafy substance popular with salads and wraps. And framed the rest of his investigation from the standpoint of marijuana impairment. At least he […]
Life has taught me that when you find yourself or your loved ones in uncharted waters, you find your way to someone who can take the wheel. That was our experience early in the spring. A referral to Bobby from a family attorney was nothing short of a Godsend. At every consultation we were treated with dignity and respect. Bobby’s excellent reputation is well-earned. His knowledge, resources and determination to turn over every rock as we navigated through our family crisis to find resolution will be long-remembered. Although his schedule is demanding, without exception we felt that we had 100% […]
Okoboji, Dickenson County, Iowa. Operating While Intoxicated, Leaving the Scene of and Accident, and Eluding Charges all resolved with a single plea to a Simple Misdemeanor, Public Intoxication offense after officer was held to have violated defendants right to phone calls. Some cases start off looking like an insurmountable mountains but when the facts start being drawn out the mountain crumbles. Here, GRL’s client facing the possibility of having his driving privileges revoked for an entire year without the possibility of a restricted license because of the Eluding allegation. The officer’s videos refuted the Eluding charge as it was obvious […]
