Called, got a consult phone call scheduled and I liked him and his questions to me. I felt at ease in my stressful situation. The other party was in another state and there were some delays on that end but Matt hung in there with me. He was patient and continued to walk me through the process. All in all, things got done in a timely fashion. It felt smooth. I highly recommend Matt K and his services.

Alex fought on my behalf with a knowledge & passion like no other. He is personable, extremely knowledgeable, and conveys information in a straightforward but considerate way. When I had little faith in my case, he not only reassured me every step of the way- but completely restored my hope in my scenario. It is not an exaggeration to say that choosing him to represent me, was one of the best decisions I've made in my adult life. If you ever find yourself in need of legal representation - look no further than Howes Law.

I had a phone consultation with Chad Eichorn from Pearson Bollman Law on February 4, 2025. Next…read moresteps after that call were, 1) I email him some documents (which I did immediately) and, 2) he email me a client agreement. Over the next five weeks, I did not hear a peep from Mr. Eichorn, despite my emails and phone messages. I finally got a receptionist to insist that he reach out to me. When he finally did, he said all my emails went to his junk file... including that email with sensitive documents. I asked him if my phone messages got lost as well, and he could not answer that. He proceeded to ask me for information which had nothing to do with my issue. When I corrected him, he admitted that he could not recall what we had discussed and that he must've lost his notes. I would not recommend any professional who is so completely empty-headed and irresponsible to "lose" so much. I think I can accurately say, Chad Eichorn is a LOSER... in the truest sense of the word.

I met with Katherine in this office twice. In summary. As a minority in the community I feel an…read moreobligation to expresss my experience! First meeting, she had a backward mentality, I felt like she was one of the good ol boys of Story County. She lacked passion as a defense attorney and had an outdated approach toward my case, it was a fraud issue I had at my bank. It was a consult and I felt more of an insult. Suffering that unexpected fraud caused me to have her retained as my public defender on a criminal case in story county. By that time losing $7,000 from my business account I was in a mentally stressed and financially stressed situation. I came to meet her again to my surprise. I had to bring my two little kids, my older were in school and I had serious daycare issues as it was extremely hard to secure child care in Ames. But, we needed to meet initially. It was HORRIBLE! She came in and introduced the fact my kids were not welcome, she made me super uncomfortable, I asked around and several attorneys said my children are more than welcome to accompany me during our meetings. In the same, meeting she accused me and then warned me to not have them in the courtroom. She continued on with her cynical accusations and even ignored FACTS of my defense. She was rigid, she lacks ambition. She seemed entitled. She lacks a diverse defense tactic or strategy. Of course, public defenders work for the state but some work for their clients. In court, she was weak and even mentioned to our jury a COVID FRAUD ARTICLE-she read, it was a Covid fraud case and she asked one juror to read it, it was a good article... she laughed during her closing argument, she was boring. She never objected to anything. It was like she wanted more to be liked by her peers than to defend me. She misled me and misinformed me on what she could do. She seems like a great prosecutor. She should never represent anyone of color. She is very much in a very privileged mindset. I wouldn't recommend her to defend your dog or cat. And, I truly appreciate all the community and state does to help people who lack the funds to provide themselves with people and proper legal aid, but throw her away and defend yourself. She was literally doing my case on a fly. She may like you and your childless situation more so please by all means try it, but it is a risk. God bless and good luck out there

Will contest. I contacted this firm regarding a possible Will contest of a distant family member…read more My primary contact was Paul Morf and his legal assistant, Caroline Dick. Both were very helpful and pleasant to deal with. We had a phone call with Paul and a litigator in his office to discuss the issues. They reviewed the materials and allowed us as much time as we needed with discussion and questions. We ultimately decided not to contest the Will, as the estate was worth very little. They would have pursued it if we wanted, but we were not after the money and it would cost a lot to prove our point that there were a lot of shady dealings by the executor. They charged a very minimal amount for some research they had to perform. I was very impressed with the firm and I have referred others to this firm for legal assistance. I absolutely would recommend this firm.
