Handling Iowa Criminal Charges from Out-of-State
by Attorney Eric D. Puryear Many people charged with criminal and traffic offenses in Iowa are from out of state (and sometimes quite far from the county in Iowa where the charges are pending). In such a case, it is prudent for the out-of-state person with the pending charge to seek an attorney in Iowa. At Puryear Law, we represent many such clients from out of state.
