Amazing Attorney
I have hired Agnes as my defense attorney a couple times now, shes is hands down the best attorney I’ve ever seen in Iowa. All my previous experiences with attorneys had always left me feeling like they weren’t really fighting for me, they always recommended the first plea bargain that came to the table. Agnes was the first Attorney I’ve ever seen truly fight for her clients. How she spoke to the jury and judge was almost like something out of a movie, her knowledge on the law is astounding. My first experience with Agnus I walked into court ready to plea, instead she asked me to trust her so I did and we walked out with a dismissal. She has earned me as a client for life.

it is my utmost pleasure to recommend agnes to anyone looking for a good lawyer. I assure you that her superior skills, work habits and knowledge on criminal & family law exceed most lawyers in the field. I needed help with family issue and she walked me through the entire process. She went above and beyond by checking how i was doing and if i needed any help. Agnes is very dedicated to her clients.

Ms Warutere is one of the most competent attorneys I've ever known. She was a law professor prior to coming to Iowa.
Ms. Watutere is a consummate professional in every sense of the word. I am completely satisfied with her services and would definitely hire her again if the need should arise.
