Own Cory Goldensoph?
01 // DETAILS
Full description and what we offer
Cory Goldensoph has been defending clients in the Cedar Rapids area since 2002. His practice focuses on criminal law across state and federal courts, with a track record of aggressive case dismissals, acquittals, and reduced sentences.
In one federal case, a client facing 18-24 months in prison for unlawful possession of a firearm while using controlled substances received probation instead—from a judge not known for leniency.
Goldensoph's approach centers on listening first. He investigates thoroughly, identifies prosecutor weaknesses, files pre-trial motions to exclude evidence or testimony, and isn't afraid to take cases to trial. He's served as defense attorney for Linn County Drug Court since 2008.

Iowa divides crimes into misdemeanors and felonies:
Misdemeanors: Simple (up to 30 days), Serious (up to 1 year), Aggravated (up to 2 years) Felonies: Class D (5 years), Class C (10 years), Class B (25 years), Class A (life)
One option Goldensoph pursues is deferred judgment—if you complete probation, the charge is expunged from your record. You get only two in a lifetime, so he uses them strategically.
