Molly Spellman Law

Best Criminal Defense Team in Iowa!

Mary was beyond excellent as my Attorney. She always kept me informed, was honest with me, and worked very hard to get my case dismissed. I thought for sure I would have lost my case but with the help of Mary and the Spellman team they represented me honorably, letting the justice system work the way it should. You can not get a better experienced attorney who will stop at nothing until the case is closed and her client is satisfied with the final verdict. I will be able to live a normal life only because of Mary and Sean Spellman.

Molly Spellman Law

I was referred to Molly by a very good lawyer friend of mine. I found her to be very good at what she does. I was very pleased with every thing she did for me. I would definitely recommend her, to my friends, family, and co workers. Thank you Molly.

Highly recommended

I retained Molly to represent me in a traffic dispute last year, and she was fantastic support and representation. She communicated clearly with me throughout the case and attempted to resolve the matter out of court. While we were unable to stay out of the courtroom, once the trial started, she was well organized and prepared. Her cross-examination of the state's witnesses (including the officer) was so strong, that the charges were dropped and case dismissed before we (defense) even needed to plead our case.
