Biggest waste of money I've ever spent. My "attorney", Stephen Babe, was utterly and completely…read moreworthless. On top of the thousands of dollars he charged leading up to the court date he also demanded almost $10k for the two days in court or he'd withdraw. When we actually got to court he was very antsy and fidgety, almost like someone who had too much Adderall. My financial affidavit was also filed incorrectly which caused my child support amount to be astronomically high. Even after I brought this to the attention of Stephen and the firm I was essentially told to get lost and that they still wanted more money from me. Overall I would not and will not ever recommend anybody ever go there.

Fred won in iowa supreme court my husband's case. I have called this place twice. I do not get a response. I had to go hire an attorney. To represent me in an estate situation. They refused to represent me, or return a call. I had to hire another attorney. This time I called them, and spoke with an Jonathan Kramer. Who promised a call me back, no return call. While we are fighting the daughter and kids are living in a black molded apartment. Justin.says he will get back. As he has to make sure they haven't represented any other client. I understand that. Where is the return call from weeks ago? I am wondering if it is discrimination. They don't think we have money??? But I do know it is probably political. Because who owned the property first

We retained Tara for an international family law case. Of over twenty attorneys that we consulted…read morewith, Tara was the one who made us feel comfortable. She asked us a lot of questions. Many of the other attorneys we talked to did not. Dealing with the family court is extremely stressful. Tara was never overly emotional regarding our case (I wouldn't want a lawyer that was) but we could tell that she cared about the outcome. She is honest and doesn't promise things she cannot deliver. Some lawyers may tell you what you want to hear. Tara tells you the truth. And she works hard to get you the best outcome within the framework of a system that is often times outdated! I'm happy we retained her to represent us and I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!
