Professional, intelligent, and will fight for you!

Gretchen is amazing, very professional and will fight for you no matter what. I was seen for a semi accident and she always had time for my case. She helped me get what was owed to me very fast and helped with the harassing calls from auditors. I would highly recommend Gretchen, no matter the case, s...he has the resources and talent to get you what you deserve. Hands down the best in Sioux city. I am very grateful to have had her as my lawyer!

Reliable and with you ever step of the way

I had never been in trouble with the law, so the whole experience of needing a lawyer and possibility of going to court made me anxious and nervous. After sitting down with Gretchen and going through my case, I felt way more at ease knowing I was in great hands. She let me know everything that was... going on, the different options I had, and what could be the best option for me. Without a doubt I would recommend Gretchen to anyone!

Absolute best attorney!! Highly recommend!

Gretchen is the absolute best attorney my family could ask for! When I first hired her she was able to meet with us right away and knowing it was high priority that we get everything going ASAP, she got started right away. She always made us feel comfortable and confident throughout our whole case. S...he’s very professional, great at communicating with you about everything and answering all questions you have. Thanks to her, a little lady that was once called my step daughter, is officially and legally my daughter, is safe and permanently in our home. We could not thank her enough and we highly recommend her! She will forever be special to my family. Thank you Gretchen!

Best decision!

Having Gretchen represent me was one of the best decisions I made. Gretchen was very empathetic and patient with me making sure I understood everything that was going on before any decisions were made. She was very comfortable and confident in courtroom and I would most definitely recommend her servi...ces.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
