Charged with OWI – Yes, you need a lawyer!
If you think being arrested for OWI was stupid or a mistake, try going to court without a lawyer. The charge is serious, do not be mistaken. Depending on the course of your case, you will realize the consequences for years to come. Travel restrictions to foreign countries, voting rights, right to have firearms and your right to drive are just a few things to think about.
Hiring a lawyer who knows what they are doing is a must. You need a lawyer who has the knowledge of 321J.2 of the Code of Iowa. When you contact one of our OWI lawyers, tell them you found them at OWIbuster.com and your initial consultation will be free. Ask the lawyer … what do you think you can do to help me?

When there is a clear understanding of what happened in your case, your lawyer may give you my opinion about your case. The lawyer can give you an idea of your chances of winning at trial. He or she will go over any potential problems with your case.

When you use one of our OWI defense lawyers, you will be assured of knowing what you face in the courts of local jurisdiction. It is very important to know your judges and our lawyers know their judges.
