Honest & Caring

I meet Mr. Culp in 2006 after returning home from Iraq, I found myself in a sticky situation, he guided me through the process, led me in the right direction and kept me from making more mistakes. I have continued to recommend Mr Culp to friends over the yrs they have all have good things to say. A v...ery caring and honest attorney that will take care of you and look out for in many ways than just the court room. A friend.

Best attorney I have had

Mike was very good about getting back to me with any questions I had regarding my case and was very helpful. Helped to have a good attorney that fights and sticks up for you and doesn't take any flack. Will definately hire him if I have ever need one again!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2000.

Reprimand issued in IA, 2000

updated on 01/23/2013

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
