Such great reviews yet when I call I get the run around and then never get a call back. Might want to change that up guys. People need good legal service so if your what your reviews say you are. Might want to start taking calls EDIT: LOL they get a email about a bad review then call and before he wanted to talk about my case Waytt tried to get upset about my honest review. Kinda that a missed call or something of that nature doesn't get a call but a bad review does. This companies ego is way to big to help people that need timely answers.

Jake Petes was extremely rude to my wife over the phone. He did not let her finish explaining the situation. He also cut her off mid sentence. Treated her like a kid.

Ryan represented our business in a case where we were named as Third Party Defendants. He was successful in proving we had done nothing wrong and all claims against our business were released. Ryan also went on to file a counter suit in which our business was able to recover our legal fees regarding the lawsuit. All maters were handled in a professional manner and in a timely manner.

I was the victim of a garnishment that was not released properly. Ryan met with me the day I found out about the problem Ryan worked with the law firm that procured the garnishment and also helped resolve my financial expenses as part of the settlement. This was completed in a timely and professional manner,

Ryan j. Muldoon Attorney who didn't give in and who didn't give up he kept me informed on the statues and laws he would contact me when he heard from the individual we were suing not only would he ask me what I felt about the case but he was interested in my health how I was feeling and asked me about my job my issues that were going on such as if I had a problem at work or if I was having something going on at home asked me how the day was such as weather asked me how my family was doing when he had found out about my father he was concerned when I lost my job from papa johns. If I called he returned my calls with in that day kept me informed on what the lawsuit was doing on a weekly basis I am very satisfied the outcome of my lawsuit and he has been a confidant on many things that will remain between us I truly think he even learned a lil southern words lol

In late January of 2024, I retained Tricia as my attorney to represent me in multifaceted case after having lost confidence in my previous attorney. Tricia and Emily immediately got to work on my case and from there my situation begin improving bit by bit in a consistent manner. I was treated with compassion, understanding, and at times patience, while simultaneously being represented in an ethical, honest, and when needed, aggressive manner throughout my case. Tricia responds to communication in a timely and concise manner, and does not leave you feeling out in the cold during your time(s) of need. Tricia will also actively work for you in a manner that is meant to save on billable hours. She did not operate in a way that would encourage behavior or unnecessary communication that would cost, me the client, more money than I had to spend to navigate the complexities of the legal system. You can feel confident that you are in good hands at Southwest Iowa Law Office.

My experience from the beginning to the end was beyond positive. The secretary that took my phone call was incredibly helpful and empathetic to my situation. My attorney, McKenzie was diligent about responding to me within a timely fashion along with my concerns while listening to my questions and answering them. She put forth 150% effort to represent myself against Mills County School District. I truly believe that she is one of the attorneys that fights for the greater good of humans. Not only for their civil/human rights as well as taking into account what I was up against personally with a child that has disabilities. She does truly care about seeing Justice in a system that is broken. After the sentencing of my guilty vetdict she spoke with me for quite some time. I believe in my heart that she proved the school district to lack accountability and resources for parents of children with disabilities. I left today knowing that this town is not able to own their lack of responsibility on their end even moreso than I had already been aware of throughout our time fighting to get help from a District that cares more about monetary value than they do a child's well being and education. I would refer McKenzie and trust her with another case if I ever had to be represented again. It is not just a job for her but a passion that radiates from her soul. I wish everyone at this office the best and would like to say that in my eyes we had a win today. We did prove beyond a reasonable doubt of all the efforts that have been used by this single mom/dad. Unfortunately, Mills county is more about money than they are helping families that do not meet their socio economic expectations.

Joe is hands-down Council Bluffs number one attorney in my opinion. Joe went above and beyond any expectations I had of my case, even though I was very anxious I just sat tight and let him do his job and he definitely came through for me and my children would Definitely recommend him for a federal attorney.

I can not tell you the relief I had in having Kristina being my voice in this difficult time. She was the voice of reason in a very emotional time and directed me down the right path. I would recommend her always.

Helen and Lisa are truly amazing to work with. I have been told many times before that Helen was the best attorney around. Every time I had a question or any type of concern, it was answered within 30 minutes or less. I was so stressed out about my case and both Helen and Lisa worked with me on all my questions. I am so glad I chose her to work with. She is an absolute blessing. It is amazing to see her in action. She's very professional and goes through your case with a fine tooth comb. I couldn't have asked for better results!! Thank you Lisa and Helen!

I can’t speak on everyone at this law firm, but I cannot in good conscience recommend Keith Buzzard as a lawyer to anyone. My experience with him has been an absolute nightmare. Keith has greatly neglected my case. He always says he will do xyz in ___ amount of time, (without even being prompted to give a timeframe) then he never does. Instead he will take weeks or even months longer than he says he will. This led to me having to call frequently to see when he was finally going to do what he’d say he would, which I’m sure was by design since they charge you $225 per phone call and he won’t answer emails… Yet, he wouldn’t call back when I’d leave voicemails either, so I learned his schedule real quick because I refuse to be ignored. He didn’t advocate for me at all when it came to getting alimony (even though I was a stay at home mom at the time of divorce), getting assets in my name (so I lost 2/3 vehicles we had and the one I have isn’t even in my name so I can’t sell it), nor for better child support (please tell me how $240 a month is enough for 3 children in this economy when our incomes are so different)… Pretty sure he didn’t believe me when I told him I was leaving an abusive situation and was terrified… I ended up homeless and in a hotel for awhile and faced constant fear of living on the streets for a year and a half… I asked for him to help me get full custody of my youngest until she was done breastfeeding since she was only 8 months old. He didn’t even bring up the topic in court. So I had to give up breastfeeding and listen to my daughter scream cry for me when I’d give her to her dad. I filed some motions on my own but they’d get denied because it wasn’t from my lawyer… So I’d fill them out then make him file, and once he “filed incorrectly” then waited until after the weekend to fix it even though he said he’d fix it right away… I had to remind him to put my name change in the final divorce decree, as well as to give my ex a time limit for when I could receive the divorce money. It’s a good thing I did too, or I’d have been totally screwed because my ex took MONTHS after his time limit was up… and Keith didn’t want to file for contempt (so I filled out the paperwork myself). The whole time it felt like Keith was advocating more for my ex than me. The only reason I was able to get the money for Keith is because my grandpa gave me some of my inheritance money and he told me to get a good lawyer. I feel like I failed him by wasting money on this lawyer. My parents recommended I report him to the board for neglect on my case and I definitely will.

Poor attorney. Do yourself a favor, hire someone who actually cares. He talks as if he knows the law but doesn't completely or maybe he just didn't like me. Either way. Unprofessional. Do not hire him for a divorce case. He sided with my ex. I should have gotten a better settlement. Mike provide no guidance. My friends provided more information than he did. His memory is failing him. He couldn't remember what was said or done. He talked bad about me to my ex's attorney. Game player for sure. Don't waste your money. If I could give him no stars, I would.

15 Nov, 2021 by Mary

Mr. Winters was totally honest with us about the case. Due to his hard work he was able to work out a deal that was do able for time. It could of been extremely way worse.
