Attorneys Ben Bergmann and Lauren Young recently represented a client facing up to 50 years on Class B felony charges, a special life sentence, and mandatory registration as a sex offender. After reviewing the evidence and interviewing witnesses, Ben and Lauren convinced the prosecutors to reduce the charges to misdemeanors and to agree that the offenses were not sexually motivated. Ben and Lauren's hard work not only got the client released with time served but kept the client from being wrongfully branded a sex offender for the rest of their life.

A jury found Gina Messamer’s client NOT GUILTY yesterday in a case involving 1st Amendment rights and the transgender community in Iowa City. The courtroom was full the entire time, which speaks volumes about the community’s engagement on these issues.
Ben Stone’s client faced up to seven years in prison under allegations of an attempted department store burglary and a third weed possession. After reviewing lots of video, Stone ultimately reached an agreement with the prosecutor that the client could have the two-year weed charge dismissed if he pled to the attempted felony burglary charge. The deal included that Stone could seek a deferred judgment on behalf of his client to avoid him becoming a felon for the rest of his life. At the contested sentencing, Stone and his client prevailed in convincing the judge a deferred judgment was fair and just. His client is therefore not a felon, and will never be if he is successful on probation. Call Mr. Stone at 515-284-5737. ... See MoreSee Less
Ben Stone represented a woman facing 35 years on Class B & C felony charges. She was alleged to have received a significant amount of money from an elderly man by fraudulent means. After analyzing the state’s evidence, Stone was ready to prepare for trial, but his client was willing to return all the funds if the charges could be reduced. While he was successful in convincing the prosecutor to let her plead to a Class D felony in exchange for full restitution, Stone was unable to convince the state to agree to a deferred judgment. At a contested sentencing hearing, his client received the deferred judgment anyway. Stone can be reached at 515-284-5737. ... See MoreSee Less
