Justin D. Riem

I retained Justin Riem in my recent divorce case. I met with several attorneys in the area before I decided on Justin. I can honestly say, I hired the best of the best. My divorce was beyond complicated and contentious. Early in the case my children were taken from their home and moved to a different... area of Iowa. Justin worked fast and diligently within the rules of the court system to have them brought home. He left absolutely no detail unturned to make sure the case would work to my advantage. My divorce was finalized in a manner that was amicable and the kids were back where they belonged with both parents. I have no doubts that this was because of the hard work and knowledge that Justin put into my case. Plain and simple, Justin is far and away one of the most, if not the most polished in his profession in the Cedar Rapids area

Justin was recommended to me by a friend who also had a favorable outcome having his representation. I am glad I hired Justin to represent me in my divorce case. He is very good at laying out your options and their implications. He was able to help secure a favorable settlement, and I can't recommend... Justin's services highly enough if you are looking for a good family lawyer in the area.

Justin was fantastic handling my divorce. He was always right to the point, and concerned about my time and billing. There was never a surprise at what I was being charged. He was good at telling me what I needed to get done and used his experience to say what he expected from opposing counsel. H...e took the time to get to know my personal situation and it sort of felt like he molded the case around my specific circumstance. He had great ideas for negotiating. He had ideas on how to show opposing counsel facts and figures which helps negotiating. Fortunately, I did not have to go to trial, but I felt very confident if he would have represented me in court. He's fair, but definitely fights for his client. He's very compassionate and understands this is a very rough event in a person's life. He ran my divorce as I wanted him to, for example, if I told him to 'wait a while', he did. I'd highly recommend him for children. He wanted the children to 'maintain their standard of living', and felt like he was trying to do what's best for them.
