Reviews
Had a disappointing experience with Jacob Van Cleaf that cost me $1400. Communication and diligence left so much to be desired. Very unorganized in every way possible. Without notice he went missing before scheduled meetings. He took my mediation meeting while driving in his car with road noise and unable to look at documentation provided by the other side. He missed deadlines along the way that caused excessive delay and a financial penalty I have to pay the court system. Some of the advice I received was extremely inaccurate. I was informed that the mediator of my divorce mediation suggested to the other party that he shouldn't be practicing law based on our session. along with the opposing attorney. They were making fun of my legal representation while I was struggling to get a fair deal. This firm dropped the ball in nearly every way possible. After moving to a new lawyer it has been a night and day difference. Constant communication about what is happening and what I need to be doing. Not disappearing for scheduled meetings. Lots of guidance through the process. The things you should expect of a lawyer.
Highly recommend this firm. They were extremely helpful and professional. Jacob Van Cleaf fought really hard for my case and I really appreciate it. He postponed the case a few times to win the case in our favor. 10/10. Thank you Jacob.
Let me assure you after 30 phone calls to all different attorney firms this is one of the most professional and knowledgeable firms and honest in the state of Iowa. I would Have these guys me in a heartbeat. Like 10 stars not five.
These guys did a awesome job with my divorce jacob Amelia were the best I so glad i picked this lawyers office
This law firm saved our lives 100%. When we made mistakes they believed in us and supported us. They’re so friendly and so professional. They’ll be honest with you and talk through their plan in court. They’ve represented us in a family court and a defense attorney. They’ve helped multiple friends and family and their rates are super reasonable!!!! I HIGHLY recommend this law firm and have sent all many people their way that feel the same. It’s also very laid back where you don’t feel intimated walking in and discussing your story and what you need. Which is a BIG deal for my social anxiety. Amelia at the front desk is so nice and so helpful!!
