Criminal Defense

Criminal charges or allegations of criminal conduct do not have to ruin your life. You are not defined by your worst day, nor is your value determined by any alleged wrongdoing by the state or federal government. In America, you enjoy the many rights afforded to you by the constitution, including the presumption of innocence unless proven guilty.

At Heidman Law Firm, we will leave no stone unturned when it comes to your criminal defense. We will fight back with unrelenting tenacity to provide you with a skilled defense. We will also work hard to minimize the hardships you experience as a result of any criminal proceedings. We are dedicated to ensuring communication with our clients throughout each step in the process. When you need a criminal defense lawyer in Iowa, Nebraska, or South Dakota, turn to Heidman Law Firm.
