Christine put us at ease

We reached out to Christine for guidance on a situation our teenage son was in. She immediately provided her assistance and was there for us whenever we had a question (and believe me, we had many questions). She is incredibly knowledgeable and we felt comfortable putting our son's future in her hand...s. This is the first time we've ever talked to a criminal attorney and we are so very thankful that we went to Christine. She truly cares about her clients and works tirelessly to ensure they are treated fairly. I would most definitely recommend her to anyone needing an attorney.

Domestic Assault

She was very engaged in the case, always available to get ahold of and gave it 150%. Could not have asked for a more trust worthy honest attorney who has the ability to see the truth of the real circumstances. I would recommend Christine to anyone facing a criminal charge.

Fifth and sixth domestic charge and thanks to Attorney Christine Branstad I dont have to see the walls of a prison !!

I was charged with my fifth and my sixth domestic both enhanced to class D felonies. 2 years after originally charged l was picked up on 2 warrants, I was incarcerated at the Polk County Jail for 11 days. I had applied in court for a public defender because I couldnt afford a private attorney. Laying... in the medical holding due to high blood pressure l recieved a business card with Branstad Law on the front and a personal cell phone number on the back. I was excited to hear I would finally have a lawyer who will fight on my side, I called the number on the back of the card and spoke with Christine right from the very begining I seemed to trust her ability to help me. We didnt even make it to pretrial conference and the prosecuting attorney made me an offer I couldnt refuse both felonies were dropped to agg misdemeanors and the judge sentenced me to a suspended 4 year sentence with 2 years probation. Thanks Christine you have been a blessing in my life.

Branstad Law Review

Christine was recommended by a good friend and within 5 minutes of meeting her I was 100% sure that she was the perfect fit for my situation. There is no pretense or overpromising of her abilities. She paints the most realistic picture possible while diligently exploring every legal scenario. Her ...knowledge of the legal system and her ability to read the situation and people in general make her a very capable person in and out of the courtroom. I literally put my life in her hands and trusted her entirely. Her professionalism is a credit to the trade and I never heard a negative word from her concerning other attorneys or the prosecution. She has a strong respect for the law but is strong in her belief that each person has a right to a fair trial devoid of bias or public opinion. I knew that if she was telling me a direction she felt I needed to take than that was the best course of action. Even after the case was over I would be fortunate to be able to say that I know her and respect her. From my own personal perspective the outcome of my situation would not have been the same with another attorney and I will be forever grateful to her for the diligence and attention she put into my case.
