State Drug Charges

Des Moines State Drug Crime Defense Attorney

Facing drug crime charges in state court is a serious matter. The repercussions can include jail time, fines, probation or parole, and even limitations on where you can live. Attorney Peter Berger works to win each case, or in the alternative to have any record erased, or in other words expunged from any record. A criminal record can obviously hurt employment opportunities, and licensing, and in some cases convictions can result in the loss of a license to continue practicing a certain profession. The Berger Law Firm can help. Attorney Peter Berger and his staff are ready to stand by your side and protect your rights.

At the Berger Law Firm, Peter Berger does not judge his clients. He knows that charges are just allegations and are either frequently wrong or overstated. Police and prosecutors can and do make mistakes in arresting innocent people, and/or there are procedural mistakes made that can result in cases being dismissed. When there has been a crime, it is understood that even good people can make mistakes. He takes the time to listen to clients, understand their situation, and work hard to achieve the results they need.  When a crime has been committed it is very important to engage in meaningful plea negotiations to lessen the sentence.  There are also many strategies that Mr. Berger uses to place his client's past and present postion in the very best light for the sentencing judge that are fully explained during the initail consultation and later if necessary during presentation of the case to the Court.
