NOT GUILTY! Best words a Mom could hear! Bobby took my son’s case to trial and because of his vast knowledge of Iowa law and the complexities of a DUI case my son was acquitted by the jury. Just because you’re charged doesn’t mean you’re guilty. I highly recommend hiring Bobby! 5.0 stars Posted by KrisJuly 30, 2023
GRL was busy yesterday doing what we enjoy most – Jury trials. Bobby Rehkemper was in Ames, Story County and Matt Lindholm was in Corning, Adams County. Both client’s were charged with operating while intoxicated accusations and declined to submit to the evidentiary breath test at the station. The prosecution claimed that the defendant’s demonstrated observable impairment after drinking which was hotly contested. Bobby and Matt aggressively defended each case and were successful in securing GRL’s most recent batch of NFG’s! Cheers to the Daily NFG Double!
I had Bobby as my Attorney in a DWI case and he did a fantastic job. Communication from Bobby, McKayla, and Madisyn was very fast whenever there was news about the case or anything else that I needed to know. They did a very good job dumbing down the case into laymen terms so that I understood what was happening. This was my first and hopefully last court case I had and Bobby helped walk me through what I needed to do in court and how to act. Everyone at GRL law is very friendly, down to earth, and amazing […]
Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa. Five Counts of Fraudulent Sales Practice allegations were dismissed against a Des Moines Bail bond agent after when the court found that the State’s evidence did not establish any intent to defraud associated with the allegations. GRL’s client was accused of utilizing a person who did not have a bail bond agent license to complete portions of the bail bond process. The prosecution claimed that allowing this person to engage in what were administrative tasks when they did not possess a bail bond license amounted to fraudulent sales practice even though the bail bonds agents […]
Indianola, Warren County, Iowa. A Warren County Jury found GRL’s client NOT GUILTY at trial. In an unusual case, GRL’s client was prosecuted for OWI after another driver who was high on methamphetamine, crossed the center line and hit him in a head-on collision. GRL’s client was taken to the hospital for medical treatment and even though officers did not observe any evidence of impairment, a search warrant was obtained and his blood was withdrawn. The test result was .084 nearly four hours after the accident. After careful consideration of all of the evidence the jury found GRL’s client NFG.
Osceola, Clarke County, Iowa. Three Vehicular Homicide charges were dismissed against GRL’s client less than a month before trial was set to commence.

The three occupants of the vehicle were tragically killed in the accident, including GRL’s client’s sister. Despite there being no evidence of impairment or excessive speed, Clarke County filed the charges against the defendant, who was 16-years-old at the time of the accident. GRL’s investigation quickly uncovered the fact that the Stop Ahead sign that Clarke […]
Winterset, Madison County, Iowa. GRL has been warning anyone who will listen NOT to disclose prescription medications to law enforcement during a traffic stop. This most recent GRL NFG demonstrates precisely why this is. GRL’s client provided a breath sample of .037 but disclosed that he was taking his non-controlled substance medication. The urine test that GRL’s client consented to confirmed the presence of only the prescription medication. A young and aggressive officer, fresh off of training for driving while drugged investigations, even with the test results, still charged GRL’s client with Operating While Intoxicated and Child Endangerment. Thankfully, GRL […]
West Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa. What started as an Operating While Intoxicated, was resolved with an amendment down to Public Intoxication. GRL’s client was stopped for speeding. He politely declined to submit to field sobriety testing and further politely declined to submit to the DataMaster breath test at the station. Lacking evidence of impairment, the prosecution agreed to amend the charge down to a simple misdemeanor, public intoxication.
Corning, Adams County, Iowa. Prior to a hearing on defendant’s motion to suppress evidence, defendant offered to plead to an amended charge of Reckless Driving with the requirement of completing the operating while intoxicated weekend class. The prosecution would have none of it choosing instead to go forward with the hearing. At the hearing, the Sheriff’s Deputy was caught changing his sworn testimony multiple times. Ultimately, the court concluded that the Deputy did not have a lawful reason to pull the defendant over and excluded all evidence obtained as a result of the stop. Prosecutor is left with no evidence […]
What. A. Year! 2022 was a whirlwind at GRL. The year seemed like it was in non-stop fast-forward from the very beginning. Cases backlogged by COVID were finally able to proceed. Insurance companies that had been sitting on their reserves throughout COVID finally found themselves staring down the reality of a jury trial on civil cases and saw the writing on the wall. When trials are available, things begin to move. Move they certainly did. The Civil Division secured over 5 MILLION dollars in verdicts and settlements making a positive impact for GRL’s clients and the community. Founding Partner Cory […]
