Great lawyer, very professional and helpful.

Christine made my case very easy to handle, made it so I never had to even appear in court. I would highly recommend her and the law firm. I would also consult and hire again.

Hayleigh - We appreciate you taking the time to share this. We’re glad we could make the process easier for you —we’d be happy to help anytime you need (but you are not going to need us again).

OWI Case Review

I can't thank Christine enough for their exceptional representation and unwavering support throughout my case. From our first consultation, I knew I was in capable hands. Christine demonstrated deep knowledge and a strategic approach that ultimately led to a favorable outcome for my case. Throughout... the entire process, Christine was not only professional but also empathetic, understanding the stress and uncertainty I was experiencing. I would highly recommend Christine and her team to anyone in need of a skilled lawyer. Their commitment to their clients and outstanding legal ability truly sets them apart. I couldn't have asked for a more well-rounded and professional team to help me through my situation.

The Best Attorney and Firm in the State of Iowa

Twenty years ago, my husband was in a compromising and extremely stressful situation due to manipulation and false accusations. His lawyer had only made things worse. His brilliant research career was on the line. He was stressed to the max. I suggested he contact Christine Branstad because I had h...eard good things about her. He did. He was treated with complete respect, and felt secure in the process. Christine’s immediate discernment of the situation, her superior knowledge of the law and her quick, on-the-spot ability to respond correctly in court, not only saved his career but enabled him to live stress free. Over the years I have recommended, what is now, the Branstad and Olson Law firm to several people. All of them have had positive outcomes and come back to thank me with glowing things to say about how they were treated with respect and their lives returned to normal due to the firms unparalleled knowledge of the law. Recently I too have experienced the firms help. It was not a huge problem, but in my old age, it was stressful and daunting to me until Christine and the team took care of all the legal end of things with ease. I cannot thank them enough. The entire team works together smoothly. I was treated with the same care and respect as if this had been a huge problem. I too am extremely thankful for them. --Martha

Excellent Lawyer

Christine helped me out when I was falsely accused by my husband's ex wife. She told me exactly what was going to happen and how long it was going to take. She fought very hard for me. My case was dismissed and my DHS case was overturned also. I had never been through anything like this before an...d she made me feel like I was in very capable hands. I would highly recommend Christine to anyone.
