Extensive Experience in OWI / DUI Defense

Mr. Farnsworth has dedicated his career to this area of law, gaining valuable insight while working with the Iowa Department of Corrections, Johnson County Prosecutor’s Office, and years of study in private practice. A first OWI offense can lead to 2 to 365 days in jail; a second, 7 days up to 2 years in prison; and a third offense, classified as a felony, carries a mandatory 30 days up to five years. Although maximum sentences are rarely sought, developing a defense, negotiating a fair outcome, or preparing for trial requires an attorney who understands the entire process from arrest to resolution.

Mr. Farnsworth has completed the same standardized field sobriety testing and Datamaster DMT training as law enforcement officers, participated in countless DOT hearings, and reviewed thousands of hours of case videos. His extensive knowledge sets him apart from most attorneys in Iowa. He understands that each client and case is unique, offering a “white glove” approach with unlimited calls, emails, and in-person meetings. Unlike some attorneys who prioritize volume over client care, Mr. Farnsworth ensures personal attention and genuine communication.

While he doesn’t make unrealistic promises or use scare tactics, he provides honest, clear guidance, backed by a state-of-the-art case management system that facilitates 24/7 client communication. Whether you hire Mr. Farnsworth, opt for a public defender, or choose a less expensive attorney, you’ll leave the consultation with a thorough understanding of the potential consequences of an OWI and a strategy for defense.
