Phil

Chris was a great attorney for me as i went thru an unfortunate and unwanted divorce. He was very technically competent, earned the respect of opposing counsel, and was emotionally supportive of me personally during the worst time of my life. Hire this man if you want compassionate and competent repr...esentation!

Genuinely cares

I called Mr. Clausen for legal advice after finding his listing on the Iowa Bar Association Web site. Even though I am halfway across the state and he knew I wouldn't be able to hire him, he spent over 30 minutes on the phone with me not only answering my legal questions but also giving me emotional... and moral support for a divorce after domestic abuse, and contested custody. Right now the judicial system seems slow and disinterested in our daughter's safety in favor of her father's right to parent. One conversation with Mr. Clausen couldn't fix the judicial system, but he gave me a measure of peace in a sad and frightening time in my life. If I were closer to him I would have hired him in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
