Note from Ed:
On April 1, 2002, I decided that working for a firm simply wasn’t for me, and with the support of my wife, Pam, I decided to venture out on my own. I set up shop at the Court Avenue Business Suites, in the Saddlery Building, which is in the heart of Court Avenue District. My office is within walking distance of the Polk County Courthouse. I currently practice in Polk, Madison, Marion, Guthrie and Warren Counties. It is important to note that the Supreme Court of Iowa prohibits me from stating that I specialize in a specific area of the law, as I have not been out of law school long enough to establish a practice area. However, I am happy to review any cases you might have, and discuss any legal problems you are facing. If I don’t believe I can help you, or if you would be better off with a more experienced attorney, I will tell you.
As I surfed the net looking for other Iowa attorneys’ sites, I started to see a common theme: firms are proud of the big corporations that they represent and if by chance they are from out of state, that seems to be more important. I guess I just see things differently. I went to law school to help people, and that is who my clients are: everyday people, with everyday problems.
Allow me the opportunity to earn business. Evening and weekend appointments are available. There is never a charge for your initial appointment, and on personal injury cases, my fee is determined on the award you receive.
Practice Areas
- Family Law:
Contested and uncontested dissolution/divorce cases, custody disputes, representation of parents involved in CINA actions. - Torts Litigation:
Personal injuries related to automobile accidents, slip and falls, work-related accidents, professional malpractice liability, product liability, insurance coverage disputes - Criminal/Juvenile Defense Work
We understand that being charged with a criminal offense can be both scary and embarrassing. In the last 4 years, I have represented both adults and juveniles charged with domestic abuse, assault, operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol, harassment, tampering with a witness, burglary, willful failure to pay child support, child endangerment, and possession of drugs, just to name a few. Give us a call and we can talk about your case.
In accordance with the Supreme Court of Iowa, as a newly admitted attorney to the Iowa Bar without the required number of continuing education hours or a baseline of practice, I am not allowed under the ethics rules to state that I practice primarily in one specific area of the law.
The determination of the need for legal services and the choice of a lawyer are extremely important decisions and should not be base solely upon advertisements or self-proclaimed expertise. This disclosure is required by rule of the Supreme Court of Iowa. A description or indication of limitation of practice does not mean that any agency or board has certified such lawyer as a specialist or expert in an indicated field of law practice nor does it mean that such lawyer is necessarily any more expert or competent than any other lawyer. All potential clients are urged to make their own independent investigation and evaluation of any lawyer being considered. This notice is required by rule of the Supreme Court of Iowa.
