Finding an attorney who is a “real person” can be difficult. Many attorneys surround themselves almost exclusively with other attorneys and are accustomed to speaking in ivory tower legalese. You should be able to connect with your attorney on a personal level, and he or she should speak to you in plain language that you can understand. You will be working very closely with this person on issues that are very important to you. It is important that he or she be down-to-earth and someone that you connect with.
The most common complaint that clients have of their attorneys is that the attorney is unreachable, does not communicate with them regularly, or does not promptly return your calls. Your attorney should reach out to you about your case regularly and respond within 24 hours to calls and e-mails. An open line of communication between you and your attorney is essential to building trust.

Your attorney’s goal should not be to win at all costs. Rather, it should be to achieve a favorable outcome for you as efficiently as possible. It is important that your attorney set realistic expectations at the outset as to the costs you should expect, the concerns that the attorney has about the outcome of your case, and the length of time that you should expect your case to take.
Regardless of the nature of your case, we have an experienced attorney who will focus on your individual needs. Our team of attorneys works closely together, bringing each of their different fields of experience to bear in order to optimize our client care.
Kevin's firm handled setting up my will and trust recently. They took something that seemed intimidating and made it easy to understand. I've also referred a couple clients to Kevin - he's trustworthy, approachable and very fairly priced.
"I've used Kevin and his firm's services since 2011. He gave undivided attention to my cases, advised me on different options and..."
"Kevin was extremely professional, responsive and knowledgeable when I came to him for help. I would definitely recommend O'Flaherty Law!"
Civil litigation covers everything from business disputes to personal conflicts. That’s a wide range of disputes so we need to be meticulous in our approach to dispute resolution. Our Iowa City civil litigation attorneys are familiar with the many steps of the civil litigation process:
A local Iowa City business needed to seek legal advice after a contract dispute with a supplier. Both sides seemed stuck and the stakes were high. Our civil litigation attorneys were called in to help.
Through our approach to the discovery process our law firm found key evidence that changed the direction of the dispute. We used that information to negotiate a resolution that avoided trial, saved our client time and money and stress. The business relationship was preserved and we proved the value of legal intervention in dispute resolution.
Litigation can be tough but our Iowa City civil litigation attorneys will provide the strategic guidance and representation you need to navigate disputes and litigation. Whether it’s a business dispute or personal legal issue we’ll help you get the result you want.
We’ve had many legal clients complain that their last firm just didn’t have the resources or understanding to manage their case. Our attorneys regularly communicate across the firm, getting input from several legal professionals without the additional cost.
Our skills and experience span decades and many different practice areas. We truly want to provide a comprehensive legal solution for our community. When you’ve got a legal question, we want to be the first law firm you think of because you know you can trust us to have the answers or tell you the next best solution.
No one wants to be sitting in the dark, unsure of what’s going on with their case. Part of our core practice model is to regularly update our clients on the status of their case.

Few people want to deal with making an insurance claim, but sometimes it is necessary. Storms, accidents, fires, and health scares happen leaving you in need of the help of your insurance company to pay out a claim. In Iowa, an insurance company owes its insured a duty of good faith and fair dealing. Should the insurer breach this duty, they may be determined to be acting in “bad faith,” exposing them to liability for damages including costs above and beyond the fees to compensate you for your insurance claim.

If two people listed as having power of attorney disagree and cannot resolve their conflict, the matter may be taken to court, particularly probate court, to determine the principal’s wishes and potentially modify or revoke the conflicting powers of attorney. The court can also appoint a new power of attorney to ensure the principal's interests are protected.
