Whenever you need an attorney, it’s never for a happy situation, but I was very thankful to have Lisa on my side during my divorce. She is professional and compassionate and never backed down from the other side. She continued to fight for me and was very fair. Thank you, Lisa, for being my voice and helping me through such a rough time.

Lisa Cyr is absolutely amazing I’m so lucky to of had her by my side helping me with my stressful divorce. She was personable yet very professional she guided me through the most difficult times and she always made the right decisions for me that always turned out positive. She was very aware of my financial concerns and always made sure our meetings were organized and productive and timely so not to waste any money. It was amazing to watch her conduct herself in meetings and in court with other legal professionals. She knows a lot of people and has lots of very good relationships with her professional world. I feel very lucky to have found her and have her take care of me the way she did.

I had the pleasure to be represented by Susan Bowden. She was absolutely wonderful to work with. Susan took care of all the issues with the Insurance company and medical providers. She explained every step of the way. Nellie Smith was very helpful as well. I would recommend Susan to anyone that was involved in a car accident.

I would like to share my experience with my attorney Susan Bowden, she handled my case. I was involved in a serious car accident, she and her team were so wonderful, always kept me informed of how my case was progressing. Extremely professional, but most important to me she is kind and honest. I would highly advise anyone to contact her office for representation. Thank you so much for all that you did for me!

Lisa and Susan are my go-to experts when referring clients for personal injury and family law matters. It is no mistake they are continually named "Super Lawyers" year after year. I cannot recommend them enough!

Great law firm Brandon is the best take time to listen plus he take pride in his work!

The team at Schwartz Law Firm made me feel important and not like I was just another client. Their professionalism and knowledge of the legal system gave my case an outcome far better than I could have expected. I would highly recommend Schwartz Law Firm to anyone.

Received a phone call from Michael at 10:30 pm at night threatening me and telling me I am an idiot. I happen to have this call on speaker phone and my 9 year old daughter sat there listening to him tell me I am a class act and he will see me in court and I am an idiot. I am posting a screen shot of his earlier threatening letter and the incoming call. The fact that I can show that he called me at 10:23 pm on a Friday night to call me an idiot in front of my daughter should be enough to show what kind of firm this is. Then he texts me at 10:44 pm where in the world do these guys come from? Despite being told countless times that he is not to contact me he still does. I suppose between the 2 of them they have 1 client to handle so have much time on their hands. The interesting part is that this appears to be retaliation for filing a complaint with a hospital regarding HIPPA violations. The same hospital where the complaint was filed happens to be staffed by Cedar Valley Medical Specialists which is ran by Gil Irey, one of the reviews found on this website. More supporting photographs have been provided to this review. Plus you can also clearly see that this letter lists more than just the Doctor. Michael Schwartz is admitted Pro Hac Vice so he is not authorized to practice law in Iowa without permission of the court. It means he has not passed the Iowa Bar test to be admitted to practice in the State of Iowa.

Jacqueline is a rockstar in the court room! She is knowledgeable of the laws & statutes & judge's! She's so supportive! I had other attorney's arguing with my very difficult and crazy custody/ parenting / restraining order issues and got nowhere in the past 5 years! Today I am protected and feeling safe for the first time in a long time. She is also very conscientious of my money & understands that as a single mom my funds are limited, she's very resourceful! I'm so grateful for HER! Would recommend her to everyone!

*Revised October 2019* I ended up retaining Ms. Lutz again in July 2019. Yet again Ms. Lutz fiercely advocated for the best interest of my family and I. Ms. Lutz gave a very accurate, tenacious, passionate pleading to our Judge that resulted in the legal matter being ruled in my favor. Ms. Lutz presented a complex case and was able to passionately advocate on my families behalf. I was overly pleased with her legal knowledge and ability to put such a complex case together so precise. I will continue to retain Ms. Lutz on all of my legal matters in the future as well as reccomend her to others in need of superb legal representation. I first came to Ms. Jacquelyn Lutz of Appelhof, Pfeifer and Hart in October of 2016. It was definitely the worst time in my life and she compassionately spoke with me about my options. Ms. Lutz thoroughly explained the laws, statutes, process and what to expect going forward. What was supposed to be one case, turned into three intricate cases that took a huge toll on me and my family. Ms. Lutz represented me in court on all three cases with a vast knowledge of the laws and how to proceed accordingly. During all three cases she kept me informed, calm, gave me resources to utilize, and (most important) gave me a realistic view of what may come next. Ms. Lutz knew each case required a great deal of knowledge and creative thinking on how to legally proceed forward with each case. My family and friends are forever grateful for the amazing representation by Ms. Lutz. I highly recommend Ms. Lutz for anyone needing or considering superb representation for any kind of family law. -Miss Megan Y. Hedberg

I have worked with both of these attorneys in professional setting. They are excellent advocates and of the highest caliber. As a family law attorney, they are always on my short list for referrals to friends and family.

Allison has been working with me on an extremely sensitive, and complicated case involving international custody for (on and off) the better part of a decade. She has never once failed to go above and beyond to protect my interests, as well as the interests of my children. Allison is more than an attorney, she is a staunch ally. I would happily recommend her for any case, because she has proven that she is willing, and able to take on the worst of storms.

I hired Allison to help me with a child support case. She was very efficient and had great communication. I felt like I was a priority and the matter was resolved quickly. I would strongly recommend her and her firm to represent you.

Like everyone said: Allison Maxim doesn't respond back. I waited so many months and even called back but no response. The receptionist was very helpful trying to help me get a hold of Allison but of course she doesn't pick-up her calls too. Very, very disappointed. Get your help from someone else please.

I have truly felt cared for and listened do during a difficult time. I appreciate Tara and the team so much!

Very knowledgeable Attorney!! Confidence you can trust!! Very reasonable rates - actually, lower than others!!! ❤ ????

By far the best money I've spent. Amazing folks there that do amazing work.

Lyndsay was great in handling my recent divorce modification. In what could have proved to be a long and difficult ordeal, she reviewed the facts, gave me good direction as to what my best options would look like, and the case was able to be brought to conclusion without the need for mediation. Job well done!

I worked with Lyndsay on a post-nuptial agreement and five years later she assisted us with our divorce. She has my highest recommendation due to her knowledge, savviness, responsiveness and most of all her caring nature. She helped make a very tough situation go as smooth as it could.

She is attentive, knowledgeable and honest. She made the whole ordeal of child custody as smooth as she could. She was in it to make sure my son and I were comfortable and happy. She worked for the results and made sure I was satisfied before buckling down anything. She also would address anything that made uncomfortable or was not to the agreement we had made. She fought for us. If you want the best Lyndsay is the lawyer you want!

Professional, thorough, brilliant! Highly recommend this firm!

I would definitely recommend Jeff Priest if you need a family law attorney. He helped me with my divorce and custody of my kids. I was about to lose custody of my kids, my life was horrible. But Jeff worked super hard to make sure that didn’t happen. He helped me get the results I wanted. More time with my kids. That means the world to me. I am able to see my kids everyday now thanks to him. For that, I thank you for the time and effort that was put into my case. It was worth every penny!

Jeff and Richard are exceptional attorneys and exceeded my expectations. I am so grateful I picked them to help me with my divorce. They helped me get full custody of all three of my kids. I had to go to court with Jeff and was really scared. I had never been in a courtroom before, but Jeff really went out of his way to help me. Again, I am so grateful for these two. I don’t know what I would do without them. Thank you so much

Priest Law is a full service team with integrity. I highly recommend this law team for anything.

He is my hero and saved my daughter. He is honest and brilliant. Without his help, I would not have my wonderful family i now enjoy so much. He is the gift God sent to me from heaven.

This law firm is excellent. Everyone is kind and respectful. Kendal O’keefe has been my attorney for about five years for ongoing issues regarding custody of my son among other issues. She is fantastic! I’ve never had such a wonderful, efficient, kind, and capable attorney. She takes on my issues as though they were her own. She cares about my son and I and always has a solution to any problem I throw at her. I also have worked with Scott Rodman for a brief time while Kendal was out of the office. He is also a great attorney to work with. I’ve recommended this firm, specifically Kendal, to my close family, and they have nothing but great things to say about her. I will continue to recommend this firm to anyone I know having difficulty with a divorce and/or custody. Thank you all for helping me through this difficult time.

Scott Rodman has assisted me with legal matters since October, 2009. He is both kind and realistic. He has a unique way of speaking the truth and being direct without being harsh. He provides options and resources and has guided me to make appropriate decisions based on my circumstances. Scott is also great at listening to my goals and helping me formulate the best strategy to achieve those goals. Scott helped me stay grounded during a very painful, vulnerable chapter in my life and helped me set my own emotions aside and focus on what was most important, my children. Scott explained my legal options in terms that were easy to understand. He then worked through those options with me and advocated on my behalf. Scott has a no-nonsense approach and an impressive understanding of the law. He was respectful of both my time and resources, and he negotiated a very successful outcome for my case. Scott is a competent, direct, ethical attorney who will passionately advocate on your behalf.

Valerie Arnold did an exceptional job with my very complex case. She is very organized and has a strong knowledge of family law. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for help. Although I don't know the results of my case quite yet, I know that Valerie and Kendall, an associate attorney with Arnold, Rodman & Kretchmer did everything in their power to guide me and present my case in the most professional manner. I did a lot of research after going through two very unprofessional attorneys and Valerie did not disappoint! Please take this review seriously as I would not want anyone else to experience the results of bad representation as I had in the past. Valerie is top-notch in her field!

She cares about my son and I and always has a solution to any problem I throw at her. I also have worked with Scott Rodman for a brief time while Kendal was out of the office. He is also a great attorney to work with. I’ve recommended this firm, specifically Kendal, to my close family, and they have nothing but great things to say about her. I will continue to recommend this firm to anyone I know having difficulty with a divorce and/or custody. Thank you all for helping me through this difficult time.

    Scott Rodman has assisted me with legal matters since October, 2009. He is both kind and realistic. He has a unique way of speaking the truth and being direct without being harsh. He provides options and resources and has guided me to make appropriate decisions based on my circumstances. Scott is also great at listening to my goals and helping me formulate the best strategy to achieve those goals. Scott helped me stay grounded during a very painful, vulnerable chapter in my life and helped me set my own emotions aside and focus on what was most important, my children. Scott explained my legal options in terms that were easy to understand. He then worked through those options with me and advocated on my behalf. Scott has a no-nonsense approach and an impressive understanding of the law. He was respectful of both my time and resources, and he negotiated a very successful outcome for my case. Scott is a competent, direct, ethical attorney who will passionately advocate on your behalf.

    Valerie Arnold did an exceptional job with my very complex case. She is very organized and has a strong knowledge of family law. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for help. Although I don't know the results of my case quite yet, I know that Valerie and Kendall, an associate attorney with Arnold, Rodman & Kretchmer did everything in their power to guide me and present my case in the most professional manner. I did a lot of research after going through two very unprofessional attorneys and Valerie did not disappoint! Please take this review seriously as I would not want anyone else to experience the results of bad representation as I had in the past. Valerie is top-notch in her field!

She is extremely smart, well-versed in all areas of family law and truly cares about her clients.

Franz was phenomenal from the beginning process to the final signatures. He takes the time to explain everything thoroughly and doesn't make you feel incompetent not knowing some of the legal jargon presented in the documents. He has a very patient persona and takes the time to answer all questions no matter how tedious they may seem. This past year has been a big learning curve for me and he truly helped make my life change a smooth transition for me and my children. I will continue to refer him to anyone who needs a fantastic divorce lawyer.

I cannot say enough positive things about Franz or this law office. Franz takes the time to get to know each client individually. He truly CARES about your experience and what's happening in your life. And he takes this information to help create an informed, powerful, and personal case for each and every client. I knew the moment I met with him that I wanted to work with him as my lawyer and have referred MANY friends to him and will continue to do so. Franz is the kind of person who sees and cares for others. And he applies this kindness and care to each and every case he works on. I would hire him again and again.

Divorce can be scary and heartbreaking. I made many calls to lawyers when considering my divorce. I was exhausted and devastated by the time I talked to Franz. I chose him because he showed me empathy. He didn’t take advantage of my emotional state. He offered a different option called a “Divorce Agreement,” that I had never heard of. This was helpful with the cost, which in turn, allowed me to save money and help support my children. He gives great advice and truly understands the stages of grieving. He thoroughly walked me through each step while showing patience, kindness, and a humor. He was professional and very responsive. I always felt supported, and I truly feel blessed. I highly recommend Franz; You will not be disappointed.

I am very glad I chose to hire Franz to help me through my divorce. He showed real empathy and offered great advice. He didn't mind explaining the process to me in plain language and describing possible outcomes of various decisions. I can't recommend him enough.

From day one, Franz was very professional and responsive throughout the whole divorce process. Franz provided all the available options and worked seamlessly to get the job done. Franz is by far one of the best divorce Lawyer in town and would recommend him for anyone needing these services!
