Top best Family Lawyers Near me in ZIP 50266

My firm handles hundreds of divorces every year in Central Iowa ranging from simple uncontested divorces to complex international family law cases in federal court. My team is second to none. I have been the lead trial counsel in over one hundred divorce matters in Central Iowa, including international cases brought under the constructs of the Hague Convention in the United States Federal Court for Iowa.  I have also successfully argued numerous cases in front of the Iowa Court of Appeals.  In addition to divorces, I represent individuals who have suffered catastrophic injuries in state and federal court.  In the last two years I have collected over ten million dollars on behalf of injured parties.  I am a member of the Iowa State Bar Association, Polk County Bar Association, and the American Bar Association (ABA).  I sit on the family law section of all three bar associations and sit on the International Family Law Committee of the ABA.   I grew up in Ankeny and currently reside there with my wife and daughters. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, playing in the Des Moines Adult Baseball League, and managing my stable of racehorses.. Representative Cases. Pederson v.

I am a founding and managing partner of Gourley Rehkemper, & Lindholm, PLC, also known as GRL Law.  I work with some of the best attorneys and legal professionals in the business and I am proud to say that our firm is one of the best Trial Law firms in Iowa.. I head up the wrongful death and traumatic injury division at the firm.  In the last 5 years alone, I have obtained verdicts from Iowa juries totaling just under 5 million dollars. But those cases are not about me.  They are about the Iowans who have been permanently and extraordinarily injured and the families who have lost a loved one and then have been lied to, taken advantage of, mistreated, or all three by coporations and their insurance companies.  I have had the honor of helping families hold insurance companies, corporations and other wrongdoers accountable for their actions when they have caused the death of, or a life changing injury to folks in Iowa.  We have gone up against the big boys; the insurance companies and their big law firms, and we have prevailed. We will continue to fight to do so.. No firm in Iowa investigates deaths and injuries more throughly.  No firm handles lawsuits more zealously.  No firm gets better results for grieving families. I am proud to say that I am a part of GRL Law, the firm that Iowans turn to when Good People Need GReat Lawyers
