I highly recommend Robert Rehkemper (Bobby), Madisyn and the entire team at GRL. They provided great counseling throughout the entire legal process and were very responsive to all my questions and needs. Don't hesitate to give them a call if you are in need of their services.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot recommend Mr. Rehkemper (Bobby) highly enough! From the moment I reached out to him regarding my OWI case, he was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. Bobby took the time to thoroughly explain the legal process and what I could expect, which immediately pu...

Bobby did a great job and handled my case in in a very effecient manner. He has a great assistant. I refer cases to him without hesitation.
"I had a criminal case that my client wanted to appeal. The case presented several very interesting legal issues that we raised at trial, but the judge disagreed with our legal arguments. Since I do not do appellate work, I wanted my client to have someone really good for the appeal. I often read appellate opinions, and noticed some appeals in which Robert Rehkemper had been successful, and was impressed with his work. So pursuant to my advice, my client hired Robert for the appeal. Well, Robert took the case all the way to the Iowa Supreme Court and won. My feelings were not misplaced. He did an excellent job. Whenever I get calls from folks needing a lawyer for criminal cases in the Des Moines area, I always encourage them to call Robert, and I will continue to do so."
"Robert and I have had numerous cases together in the past. Through my experiences in working with and opposed to Robert on cases, I can easily endorse him as he is thorough and detail-oriented in his approach as well as willing to put in the extra time and effort for his clients."
"Mr. Rehkemper is an aggressive, well-respected criminal defense attorney. He is incredibly well-versed in the area of OWI. I highly recommend Mr. Rehkemper and any client can be confident that he will work to build a case from start to finish in a way that will lead to the best possible outcome."
"Bobby is an excellent trial lawyer. He is creative, educated, thorough, and above all else aggressive. He is extremely skilled both in and out of the courtroom. If you find yourself in legal trouble you should certainly give him and his firm a call."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is a skilled advocate who gets results. Has high ethical standards and is an excellent OWI lawyer."
"I have known Robert professionally for many years. He is a very ethical and skilled attorney. I believe he places his clients issues as his main priority. I would not hesitate to refer potential clients to him."
"I have known Bobby since he was a young lawyer. I have seen him work on criminal defense, DUI/OWI and personal injury cases with a dedication and commitment that is unparalleled. He is most certainly one of the top litigators in Iowa. I look forward to associating with him on cases in the future."
"I met Attorney Rehkemper, III at one of the most prestigious DWI defense seminars in the nation. Attorney Rehkemper, III was there learning to better defend DWI/DUI/OUI cases with the best DWI defense lawyers in the country. He consistently attends this high level training, and I know that he fights as hard as he can for his clients. I enthusiastically endorse his work."
"Mr. Rehkemper represents his clients with the utmost integrity and diligence. I would highly recommend his services. I have referred other clients to Mr. Rehkemper who have been very satisfied with his and his firm's representation. Mr. Rehkember gets the best results possible for his clients."
"I am very happy to endorse Bobby Rehkemper as a true expert and attorney in DUI defense. Unfortunately, what many people facing a DUI don’t know is that there are literally hundreds of attorneys in any metro area who will handle their DUI. However, maybe only a handful of these attorneys truly know how to defend these complex scientific cases. If you submitted to a blood test, breath test or even standardized field sobriety tests, then you need an attorney who has years of formal training and experience defending these complex cases. Hiring anyone else is usually a recipe for losing. I have known Bobby for years, and I can assure you he is one of those few attorneys who has a complete understanding of the science necessary to challenge these cases successfully. Christopher H. Cessna Attorney at Law Denver, CO"
"I know Bobby Rehkemper from the National College for DUI defense, including the NCDD summer session at Harvard Law School. His knowledge, skill and dedication make him one of the top DUI lawyers in Iowa. I strongly recommend Bobby Rehkemper for defense of DUI and criminal charges."
"One of a select few across the state who earned his reputation for excellence by taking on the most difficult drinking and driving cases and obtaining outstanding results for his clients. He has proven himself as a skilled trial advocate whose mastery of the complex scientific principles underpinning breath and blood testing is unrivaled. Would I recommend his services to a close friend or family member in need of first rate representation? Absolutely."
"This is a very easy one to write. Attorney Rehkemper has earned a true national reputation in the field of trial litigation with a special emphasis on defending the citizen among us who has been accused of a DUI and related crimes. This is a hard earned reputation for excellence in this most difficult field of law as it requires proficiency in very diverse legal and scientific fields of study. From constitutional law to administrative law from pharmacology to infra breath test spectrometry. Attorney Rehkemper has not only become proficient in these areas but excels in all of these relative areas. On a daily basis he uses his considerable reputation, his vast knowledge and experience to create a meaningful impact for those who have been accused of a violation of a crime."
