I have prepared and tried to jury verdict almost 200 criminal defense and plaintiff’s personal injury cases and hundreds more trials and motions have been presented to a judge for decision in the 34 years I have been a lawyer. I have briefed and argued dozens of cases to Iowa and Federal Appellate Courts. These cases have ranged from a landlord tenant small claims case to weeks long products liability and federal conspiracy cases.

I enjoy being a lawyer and helping my client achieve the best possible result.

Arson, Murder, Conspiracy, Federal Drug and Money Laundering, Gambling or Internet Pornography.
May I help you recover compensation for your injury?

After going through 3 southeastern Iowa lawyers, a felony conviction, 3 years on the sex offender registry and completely loosing faith in the justice system, I found Mr. Moeller. My conviction has been vacated and I'm finally free of this awful mess. I am grateful! Thank you John
