Top 3 Qualities to Look for in Your Attorney

Your attorney should not speak in legalese.

Finding an attorney who doesn't use complex legal jargon and is a “real person” can be difficult. You should be able to connect with your attorney on a personal level, and they should speak to you in plain language that you can understand.

Your attorney should be accessible.

You deserve a responsive legal team that communicates regularly and promptly returns your calls. Although legal matters can take time, you should feel confident in the progress of your case.

Your attorney should be realistic about costs and outcomes.

You want a favorable outcome as efficiently as possible. It is essential that your attorney set realistic expectations about the costs you should expect, concerns that the attorney has about the outcome of your case, and the length of time that you should expect your case to take.

We Are Cost-Conscious And Cost-Effective! We treat the client's money as if it were our own. We do not surprise our clients with unexpected bills. Instead, before accruing any fees we allow you to make an educated decision with respect to the costs of each step in the dispute resolution & litigation process. We work aggressively but efficiently to minimize the expense of each stage in the process.
We Put Your Interests First! Many litigation attorneys are content to let cases drag out and "bill the file." We realize that you are a person, not a file, and we want you to have a lifelong relationship with our firm. At O'Flaherty Law, our goal is not to make our firm money off of your case, but instead to have you walk away feeling like you got a good resolution at a fair price. We are prepared to aggressively pursue or defend your case. However, because 95% of cases settle before trial, we work with an eye toward a favorable settlement at all times. It is in your best interest to have a speedy and favorable resolution to your case without expending significant attorneys fees, and, because we put your interests first, this is our goal.
We Are Your Aggressive Advocate! Our team of Iowa civil litigation attorneys has made a name for ourselves representing the "little guy" against powerful corporations. We have handled class action suits in Federal Court as well as appeals and multi-state litigation. No case is too big, and we are prepared to take on and defeat powerful adversaries.

In this video, Iowa civil litigation attorney Kevin O'Flaherty discusses what a consideration is in contract law.

What to Look for in Iowa Contracts: Consideration

What is consideration? As perhaps the biggest grey area in contract disputes, consideration is an bargain or exchange that both parties in a contract need to agree on. In essence, it is the outlining of benefits that both sides of a contract will receive under the contract. Without consideration, an Iowa contract is not enforceable and can be rendered invalid.

In this article, our Iowa civil litigation lawyers outline the importance of consideration in contract law. We outline what you need to know about consideration and give some key examples of when consideration is not included in a contract.
