• DUI/DWI
  Iowa City is a college town, home to thousands of out-of-state students, and the Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, and Nebraska borders are only a short drive away. As a result, many drivers charged with OWI/DUI in Eastern Iowa do not have Iowa driver's licenses. Out-of-state drivers face many of the same consequences of OWI/DUI as Iowa drivers and, depending on the laws of your home state, you may also face penalties at home. Navigating the requirements of various jurisdictions can be confusing, but our attorneys at Keegan, Tindal & Jaeger have experience representing out-of-state drivers.
• Traffic Violations
  Many people pay fines for traffic citations and think, "it's only a ticket." They do not know that three moving violations in a year triggers a suspension of driving privileges or that a speeding ticket over 24 mph above the speed limit leads to an automatic license suspension. If you face license revocation or suspension, our attorneys at Keegan, Tindal & Jaeger can help you defend against your traffic violation charges and find a solution to keep you on the road whenever possible.
