State Worker

I would not hire this man for nothing. He was impossible to get ahold of for 1, but considering I did much of the work. I gave him recorded conversations which brought light to the truth or at least created reasonable doubt. He barely would communicate with my son who was in jail at the time. He did...n't do anything he proposed to do. I should have known from the price he was asking that he was hurting for clients as this was following a previous disharmony. Even at 1/3 the cost he should have done what the other lawyers would do at full price, but I'm not made of money and had no choice.

Excellent job!

Chad is the best attorney in Iowa. Despite his bad reviews from the past, he came through for my brother! I asked him about the bad reviews and he was very open and honest about what he was going thru at the time. That no longer applies to his life today. My brother was facing 10 years and Chad got h...im 30 days. I don’t know how u did it but you did! I’ll send anyone I know his way. He kept me informed the whole time and got back to me right away each time anything happened with the courts! Thank you so much Chad!!!!

A prosecutors dream

He was assigned to my husband's case 2 weeks before a major trail, High profile case. He came completely unprepared. He looked at jurors andtold them to convict my husband. WHAT, I know and iowa judicial system should be embarrassed to use him as one of their representatives. He is no good get a seco...nd opinion please.
