I hired Karen Volz for my divorce. She allowed the other party to get a court date over a year out…read moreand advised me to just sit back and wait for court date. A month before court Karen advised me that if I wanted shared custody of my children that I would have to pay alimony along with child support, she advised me this was the best deal I was going to get and not to try to ever take my ex back to court in the future or my situation would be worse. I thought as my legal council this was the best advise, however a year a half later I learned that it was the worse advise. I hired a new attorney Joe Bertroche. After only two office visits and several emails I learned my child support was miscalculated from the beginning and I did not need to pay alimony which ended up saving me $750 a month, so if you like to overpay I would highly recommend hiring Karen Volz.

Tom viner is the most expensive lawyer. I have ever hired at three hundred fifty dollars an hour…read moreand the worst attorney I have ever hired. This attorney showed up 1 hour late for my court date. Of course, that doesn't make the d. A happy. Terrible representation did not do what he would say. He would do when I hired him to challenge urin test. When i ask questions to tom and the rude law clerk conner they got defensive and rudely argued and refused. He admitted to me by asking #what is the iowa farm hemp law. He has no idea. They became rude left me hanging out to dry. I called 3 days earlier to confirm another court date in Scott County. Connor said everything's good only to make a trip over there. An hour and a 1/2 from my house Tom. Biner waits till the last minute to call me 3 hours before. Tell me he's extended at 30 days. And I don't have to go that day. Wasted trip. I would invite him Tom to call me in disgust. But obviously we all know that he won't, as he denies things. You got my number. No guidance. He told me. I would not be able to drive out a state on it. Temporarily restricted license, he was wrong the d o t. Said I can there were several things he said that was flat out wrong, such as fees and finds daddy later denies. Dismissed case and full punishment. Several thousand later and losing license 6 months payin for interlock ignition devise 6 months thousands in court cost fines dot expenses sr22 ignition lock cost jail time probation 1 year and assigned probaton officer. Substance and alcohol dependency evaluation 12 hours substance course and all the expense with it. I am 62 first offense no moving violations in over 5 years blew zero for liquor twice and at station all zero. On disability could not stand on one leg for sobriety test nor. Offered up all information right away to officer that i have medical mmj card disability and that i had small amount of hemp flower that is perfectly legal in iowa and gets shipped to iowa by mail. DO NOT hire tom viner nobody deserves to be treated like this He refused to listen and got very rude when all i did was ask how is this dismissed if i am punished with everything anyway. I have been hung up on by conner. Lied to by conner. $350 hour for nothing but court forms. He never challenged anything and the state offered up a plea deal he wanted me to take before he challenged things no comment from him on officer camera that shows problems and lies from the camera to the officers deposition officer refused to explain the process refused me of water, made numerous mistakes. I cannot begin to mention everything and explain the entire case. Because nobody wants to read a five page manifest for a review so I will leave it like this. Anyone is more than welcome to make contact with me through my profile. If they would like to discuss it further, as I'm sure that Tom will leave a reply on here. Like all of his other bad reviews, this is not true. I don't think I would have taken the time to do this if that was the case.

I'm now being forced to represent myself after being taken by yet another conman.
