I’ve created a client centered practice in which I’m easily accessible for each and every client. My unique
approach includes using a secure online portal with a commitment to communicating with clients when
it works best for them. It’s important to me that you know exactly how everything works prior to hiring
me so we’ll discuss the full process in advance. I’m also dedicated to respecting all of my clients,
including court-appointed clients.
I offer pro bono services and have been recognized twice by the Iowa Supreme Court in pro bono cases.
I’m also committed to going above and beyond to researching non-legal issues when it’s appropriate.
