Licensed in Iowa

Iowa lawyers for Iowa cases

Thomas A. Fitch and Robert J. Stahle are both licensed to practice law in Iowa and in Nebraska. Bob Stahle was admitted in Iowa in 1987 and Tom Fitch in 1998.

That matters in Siouxland. Many people live in one state, work in the other and drive across the river every day. A crash or an arrest can happen on either side, and the rules are not the same. Iowa and Nebraska have different filing deadlines, fault rules and drunk-driving laws. The firm can look at your situation under the law of the state where it happened.
