Colin saved us! I can’t say enough nice things about him. He helped us with an issue with our college son related to underage drinking that could have ended badly without Colin’s help. He was able to provide us a great strategy and then executed it seamlessly. Highly recommend him and his firm.
I received a traffic ticket for excessive speeding in my personal vehicle and I have a CDL endorsement. I was searching for the best lawyer and I definitely found him. Colin Murphy not only defended the case with professionalism but also was always there to answer my questions. I highly recommend Colin because he pays […]
We had nothing but the best experience with Bobby. He is very knowledgeable and made our experience more comfortable than we could have ever imagined, despite the circumstances we faced! McKayla was awesome as well! She was also helpful and very quick to respond whenever anything came up. We highly recommend hiring Bobby to represent […]
Waukee, Dallas County, Iowa. Not Guilty on another 20 charges brings the total of NFG’s in one case to 61. After a jury returned Not Guilty verdicts on 41 counts of Harassment in the First Degree, the prosecutor still pressed on with the remaining 20 counts of simple misdemeanor Harassment in the Third Degree.

Readers of the blog are no doubt aware of GRL Law’s work on warrantless garbage searches. Earlier this summer, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled the police practice unconstitutional in State v. Wright, but remanded the case to the district court for a second look at the warrant. This time the district court could not consider […]
Maybe the timing is coincidental, but GRL Law secured a dismissal of all charges in State v. Wright on the same day the Iowa Supreme Court reaffirmed the constitutional underpinning of trash rips in State v. Kuuttila. One might think that this line of cases would be the last word on the issue. But if […]
GRL Law received a ruling today that suppressed the results of a breath test taken by a CDL holder. We discovered the officer made a mistake during the implied consent advisory. He advised the driver that a test failure results in a one-year disqualification, but a refusal results in a lifetime ban on his commercial […]
Today, the magistrate court dismissed charges against a GRL Law client whose dog bit a DMPD officer. The evidence showed the officer attempted to coax our client into the common area of her downtown loft to “discuss” a complaint. However, when she declined, the officer crossed the threshold of the door to arrest her. That’s […]
Earlier this year GRL convinced the Iowa Supreme Court to outlaw the police tactic of warrantless garbage searches in State v. Wright. We haven’t rested on our laurels since the ruling. Instead, we got to work in several counties where these trash rips resulted in felony charges. A recent case in southeastern Iowa was no […]
Frequent readers of our blog are certainly familiar with the firm’s reciprocity argument regarding medical marijuana. Normally, the State concedes this issue and voluntarily dismisses the charge.
