Excellent Attorney, Highly recommend.
Mr. Brick has been my attorney over 10 years. He has always been incredibly informed, even though he has represented me on many different issues and in different areas of the law. I would highly recommend him, regardless of specialty, as the attorney you want to see first.

Long Time Client Pleased with Excellent Service
I am a long time client of Mr. Brick. He has done work for me and the communities I have served in a number of different areas. I appreciate that the work is quick and concise and understandable to a lay person. I also appreciate candor when I have an idea that may not work so well. In addition to being provide quick turn around on projects and giving sound legal advice, Mr. Brick is affable and easy going.

City Attorney
I worked with Matt while I was on the city council and as mayor of Windsor Heights, Iowa. He represented us in a most professional manner. He gave us excellent legal advice in cases brought against the city and was very helpful in guiding us in city development.

Matt is a pleasure to work with! He is straightforward and provides accurate and honest information, but at the same time is sensitive to the practical concerns of dealing with employees day to day. He is easy to talk to about issues and his advice is much appreciated!

Presidant of an HR Consultanting firm
We are a human resource consulting firm. Matt has handled all HR-OneSource's legal needs for over 5 years now. He has always been very responsive and successful on all issues we have had. We also direct our clients to use Matt for employment law issues that we are unable to handle. I would not encourage my clients to use someone that I did not have complete confidence in. I have heard only positive feedback from my clients on the work Matt has done.
