Great law firm Brandon is the best take time to listen plus he take pride in his work!

The team at Schwartz Law Firm made me feel important and not like I was just another client. Their professionalism and knowledge of the legal system gave my case an outcome far better than I could have expected. I would highly recommend Schwartz Law Firm to anyone.

Received a phone call from Michael at 10:30 pm at night threatening me and telling me I am an idiot. I happen to have this call on speaker phone and my 9 year old daughter sat there listening to him tell me I am a class act and he will see me in court and I am an idiot. I am posting a screen shot of his earlier threatening letter and the incoming call. The fact that I can show that he called me at 10:23 pm on a Friday night to call me an idiot in front of my daughter should be enough to show what kind of firm this is. Then he texts me at 10:44 pm where in the world do these guys come from? Despite being told countless times that he is not to contact me he still does. I suppose between the 2 of them they have 1 client to handle so have much time on their hands. The interesting part is that this appears to be retaliation for filing a complaint with a hospital regarding HIPPA violations. The same hospital where the complaint was filed happens to be staffed by Cedar Valley Medical Specialists which is ran by Gil Irey, one of the reviews found on this website. More supporting photographs have been provided to this review. Plus you can also clearly see that this letter lists more than just the Doctor. Michael Schwartz is admitted Pro Hac Vice so he is not authorized to practice law in Iowa without permission of the court. It means he has not passed the Iowa Bar test to be admitted to practice in the State of Iowa.

I have worked with both of these attorneys in professional setting. They are excellent advocates and of the highest caliber. As a family law attorney, they are always on my short list for referrals to friends and family.

Allison has been working with me on an extremely sensitive, and complicated case involving international custody for (on and off) the better part of a decade. She has never once failed to go above and beyond to protect my interests, as well as the interests of my children. Allison is more than an attorney, she is a staunch ally. I would happily recommend her for any case, because she has proven that she is willing, and able to take on the worst of storms.

I hired Allison to help me with a child support case. She was very efficient and had great communication. I felt like I was a priority and the matter was resolved quickly. I would strongly recommend her and her firm to represent you.

Like everyone said: Allison Maxim doesn't respond back. I waited so many months and even called back but no response. The receptionist was very helpful trying to help me get a hold of Allison but of course she doesn't pick-up her calls too. Very, very disappointed. Get your help from someone else please.

I have truly felt cared for and listened do during a difficult time. I appreciate Tara and the team so much!

Jacqueline is a rockstar in the court room! She is knowledgeable of the laws & statutes & judge's! She's so supportive! I had other attorney's arguing with my very difficult and crazy custody/ parenting / restraining order issues and got nowhere in the past 5 years! Today I am protected and feeling safe for the first time in a long time. She is also very conscientious of my money & understands that as a single mom my funds are limited, she's very resourceful! I'm so grateful for HER! Would recommend her to everyone!

*Revised October 2019* I ended up retaining Ms. Lutz again in July 2019. Yet again Ms. Lutz fiercely advocated for the best interest of my family and I. Ms. Lutz gave a very accurate, tenacious, passionate pleading to our Judge that resulted in the legal matter being ruled in my favor. Ms. Lutz presented a complex case and was able to passionately advocate on my families behalf. I was overly pleased with her legal knowledge and ability to put such a complex case together so precise. I will continue to retain Ms. Lutz on all of my legal matters in the future as well as reccomend her to others in need of superb legal representation. I first came to Ms. Jacquelyn Lutz of Appelhof, Pfeifer and Hart in October of 2016. It was definitely the worst time in my life and she compassionately spoke with me about my options. Ms. Lutz thoroughly explained the laws, statutes, process and what to expect going forward. What was supposed to be one case, turned into three intricate cases that took a huge toll on me and my family. Ms. Lutz represented me in court on all three cases with a vast knowledge of the laws and how to proceed accordingly. During all three cases she kept me informed, calm, gave me resources to utilize, and (most important) gave me a realistic view of what may come next. Ms. Lutz knew each case required a great deal of knowledge and creative thinking on how to legally proceed forward with each case. My family and friends are forever grateful for the amazing representation by Ms. Lutz. I highly recommend Ms. Lutz for anyone needing or considering superb representation for any kind of family law. -Miss Megan Y. Hedberg
