FAMILY LAW

'"Jim guided my family and I along the confusing path of family law. He provided great guidance and the end result changed a young girls life forever. Our family is forever grateful and the process has made us smarter and stronger."

~Courtney

"My divorce involved the valuation and separation of multiple businesses, commercial real estate, personal real estate, business trade secrets, and other considerable assets. Jim worked with me to set an ideal outcome early in the case, and then we implemented a budget-friendly strategy, rejected numerous demands, and waited for the other side to accept our terms eventually. Jim was professionally considerate to my family as a unit. In my opinion, Jim gave me many directions as a client which I viewed as wise and very reasonable. His professional advice helped me stay positive during the divorce process while working toward a solution, which was beneficial to my family as a unit."

"When I broke up with my girlfriend she denied me visitation with my young son and made false domestic abuse charges.Jim got my visitation started right away, resolved the false charges and secured a custody agreement for me that allows me to be in my son’s life in a significant way.Jim was also sensitive to my budget and worked with me on payments and to make sure I was never surprised by my bill."

CIVIL LITIGATION

“Jim helped my family in a medical malpractice case after a doctor’s neglect caused my husband’s death.  Because the doctor lied to us about the cause of death, I delayed seeing an attorney about a possible suit.  As a result, Jim had to argue our case to the Iowa Supreme Court to get the law changed to allow our case to move forward.  Jim helped our family secure financial security after our horrible loss.”

~Joyce

“Jim has provided me with consistent and quality legal work over the years.  When I was injured in an auto accident, Jim filed suit when the insurance company refused to offer a fair settlement and obtained fair compensation for me.  When I changed employment, Jim negotiated my new employment contract and made sure I was protected in my new executive position.  When I have any legal question, I can contact Jim knowing I will be in good hands.”

~Dan

“I have been a general contractor in the construction industry for many years.  Jim has helped my business through multiple legal issues.  Jim has always been available, responsive and made sure to protect my bottom-line before his own.”

~Scott

"When our insurance company would not pay to repair one of our church buildings that had been badly damaged from a storm, our church hired Jim to sue the insurance company.  Jim took the case to trial and forced the insurance company to pay on the claim.  We have sent many members of our congregation to Jim over the years to help with family law, criminal law, and civil matters because he has always been ready, willing and able to help and deliver great results."

CRIMINAL CASES

"I was falsely accused of a theft and was facing several years in prison.  Jim obtained video tapes from the crime scene, identified evidence significantly in conflict with the State’s case and convinced prosecutors to simply dismiss the charges with out the need for a trial or other stress on me."  

~Molly

"I was falsely accused of federal crimes.  Jim was a key member of my trial team.  He helped prepare my defense, got me ready to take the stand and face cross examination, participated in trial including being lead on cross examining several of the government’s witnesses, and helped me secure a not guilty verdict from a jury minutes after they began deliberating the case."
