A car came through the median and we were hit head on. Every bone in my body from my lower jaw down to the bottom of my feet was broken. My medical bills were in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. I can’t imagine going through something like this without someone like Tim or RSH Legal.

How Do You Choose the
Right Iowa Attorney?
Learn What Other Lawyers Know to Look For
There are over 9000 lawyers in Iowa. Almost any lawyer can make themselves sound impressive on a website. The truth is that most Iowa attorneys do not have the background or experience to handle a big case. How is a regular person who is new to the legal system supposed to choose the right Iowa attorney without insider information?
Here is the secret: lawyers know certain professional credentials mean more than others. There are elite legal credentials that cannot be bought and must be earned. Credentials that require both a track record of success and recommendations from fellow Iowa lawyers and judges. These are the top honors that most Iowa lawyers never attain. Experienced lawyers from across the country know to check for these key professional credentials before referring a case to an Iowa lawyer.
We believe that you are entitled to this insider information when you are choosing the right attorney for your case. The chart below identifies what legal credentials to look for when deciding between Iowa attorneys.
