Iowa Colony Criminal Defense Attorney

Iowa Colony is one of the fastest-growing communities in Brazoria County, a newer planned development drawing young families and first-time homeowners to the south Houston area. Criminal cases for Iowa Colony residents are handled at the Brazoria County Courthouse in Angleton. As this community grows, so does the law enforcement presence along its primary access routes including Highway 288 and Meridiana Parkway. DWI arrests, traffic stop drug cases, and juvenile matters are the most common charges arising from this area.

 

At David Smith Law Firm, we represent Iowa Colony clients in Brazoria County courts with the benefit of former prosecution experience in that same courthouse. David Smith is Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and a former Brazoria County prosecutor. He understands that many Iowa Colony residents are young families, professionals, and first-time homeowners for whom a criminal record would have lasting consequences for their careers, their finances, and their futures in this community. He treats every Iowa Colony case with the seriousness those stakes demand. Contact our firm today for a free consultation.
