Discovery was 3 pages, and a terrible 13 min audio. They say i held a sign up in my window ... 6 weeks later pulled over again, arrested and 5 more charges. I have all footage to show anything I claim. This all stems from 2 events, 1. My shop was broken into and a welder stolen, called investigator and 4 months later noone had yet to come even look at it, Take pics, statement, nothing ... err I called ombudsman and was a founded claim but given verbal directions which I followed, and 2.

This same guy assaulted me in my driveway May 5th and plead guilty in early January. 2 diff states but joint taskforce

A: It sounds like you've been through a challenging and unjust situation involving law enforcement. It's crucial to find a competent attorney who is experienced in handling cases of police misconduct and civil rights violations. While I can't recommend specific attorneys, you may want to search for lawyers in Iowa who specialize in civil rights law or have a track record of successfully litigating cases involving police misconduct.

When looking for an attorney, consider their experience, expertise, and track record in handling cases similar to yours. Look for someone who is knowledgeable about your rights and is willing to aggressively advocate on your behalf to seek justice for the injustices you've experienced. Additionally, you may want to seek out legal aid organizations or civil rights groups in your area that may be able to provide resources or referrals to attorneys who can assist you.

It's important to act quickly to protect your rights and pursue legal action against any misconduct or wrongdoing by law enforcement. By finding a skilled attorney who is committed to fighting for justice, you can take steps towards holding those responsible for violating your rights accountable and seeking the compensation you deserve for the harm you've endured. Don't hesitate to reach out for help and take action to protect your rights and seek justice in your case.
