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.

What is consideration? As perhaps the biggest grey area in contract disputes, consideration is an bargain or exchange that both parties in a contract need to agree on. In essence, it is the outlining of benefits that both sides of a contract will receive under the contract. Without consideration, an Iowa contract is not enforceable and can be rendered invalid.
In this article, our Iowa civil litigation lawyers outline the importance of consideration in contract law. We outline what you need to know about consideration and give some key examples of when consideration is not included in a contract.
In the following companion article, our Iowa civil litigation attorneys provide more information on how Motions for Summary Judgement are used in Iowa dispute resolution. In short, we find that the vast majority of cases need not go to trial, so long as you have a strong attorney by your side. If your case can proceed without heavily disputed facts, our legal team can use motions for summary judgement to keep your litigation costs low.
Finding out the facts of your case is crucial for our Iowa dispute resolution lawyers. Without the right facts, it is virtually impossible for us to defend your rights should your case go to court. In this article, our Iowa civil litigation legal team gives some more insight into the Written Discovery phase of litigation, and how we use this time to potentially save you money.
