I am a lawyer to support a farming habit. I deal with rual clients who have a connection to ag, whether that is active farm operation, property ownership, or just living in rural Iowa. I also represent Chapter 7 Bankruptcy clients, draft and probate wills, and handle real estate transactions.

Further, my office prepares tax returns for small buisneses and personal tax returns.

Brooke Trent, General practice Attorney on Apr 4, 2015

While serving as opposing counsel against Mr. Dillon, I have always found him to be reasonable while still zealously advocating for his client. This is a rare combination and an asset for ensuring competent but cost effective representation for his clients. Mr. Dillon has also been kind enough to share some of his outstanding agriculture-based forms with me for unrelated cases.

Edward Cox, Agriculture Attorney on Feb 27, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer as a leader in the field of agricultural law and a benefit to the legal profession and the State of Iowa.

Pat is a brilliant, common sense kind of agriculture attorney and will be a true asset to any farm or agri-business in Iowa seeking counsel. I've heard Pat speak on farm estate planning and has a talent for breaking things down for the audience. I have read his book "Field Manual: Iowa Farmer's Guide to Legal Issues". Pat is very practical in his writing style. It's a must read for every farmer in Iowa.

Karen Eichman, Agriculture Attorney on Aug 11, 2013

I endorse Pat Dillion. Pat is the "go-to" guy for farmers, be it their agricultural issues or their personal issues, such as estate planning.
