Top 3 Qualities to look for in Your Attorney

Watch Our Video

We believe your attorney should not speak in legalese

Finding an attorney who is a “real person” can be difficult. Many attorneys surround themselves almost exclusively with other attorneys and are accustomed to speaking in ivory tower legalese.  You should be able to connect with your attorney on a personal level, and he or she should speak to you in plain language that you can understand.  You will be working very closely with this person on issues that are very important to you. It is important that he or she be down-to-earth and someone that you connect with.

We believe your attorney should be accessible

The most common complaint that clients have of their attorneys is that the attorney is unreachable, does not communicate with them regularly, or does not promptly return your calls.  Your attorney should reach out to you about your case regularly and respond within 24 hours to calls and e-mails.  An open line of communication between you and your attorney is essential to building trust.

We believe your attorney should be realistic with you about costs and outcomes

Your attorney’s goal should not be to win at all costs.  Rather, it should be to achieve a favorable outcome for you as efficiently as possible.  It is important that your attorney set realistic expectations at the outset as to the costs you should expect, the concerns that the attorney has about the outcome of your case, and the length of time that you should expect your case to take.

Regardless of the nature of your case, we have an experienced attorney who will focus on your individual needs. Our team of attorneys works closely together, bringing each of their different fields of experience to bear in order to optimize our client care.

What Does Congress Vote To Decriminalize Marijuana At The Federal Level Mean?

In this video, our drug offense Polk County attorneys explain how for the first time in U.S. history, The House of Representatives passed a bill that would federally decriminalize marijuana. The vote comes as many states have legalized the production, sale, and use of marijuana at varying levels. The Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment, and Expungement Act of 2019 is a bill sponsored by former California senator and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. The bill proposes to decriminalize marijuana by removing it from the United States list of controlled substances, in addition to establishing the following reforms:


  • Free up Small Business Administration loans for marijuana-related businesses;
  • Prohibit the denial of federal benefits based on past marijuana-related conduct or convictions for U.S. citizens and immigrants;
  • Eliminate federal criminal penalties on cannabis, and institute a system “to expunge past convictions and conduct sentencing review hearings related to federal cannabis offenses; and
  • Add a 5% tax on all marijuana sales and place that money into a federal fund that runs programs to assist areas significantly affected by the war on drugs.

What is an Aggravated OWI in Iowa?

In this video, our Polk County traffic attorneys explain how an aggravated OWI​ involves certain aggravating factors that elevate the charge from a serious misdemeanor to an aggravated misdemeanor​ or felony misdemeanor. Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), is the same as a DUI or DWI in other states, just different terminology. An individual commits the offense of operating while intoxicated if he or she operates a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or other drug or a combination of the two. As in all other states, it is illegal to have a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or higher while driving, or having a controlled substance in the blood as tested through blood, urine, or breathalyzer.
