Firm Information
Overview
Located in Iowa City, Iowa, the Foster Law Office is a full-service law firm with two attorneys who represent college students charged with drug crimes and other criminal defense matters.
Attorney Davis Foster has been an attorney since 1981, and he was recently joined at Foster Law Office by his son Christopher Foster. Together, they represent clients with a variety of litigation needs, including criminal defense, personal injury litigation for the plaintiff or injured party, family law, including divorce and child custody issues, and immigration law for college students or workers seeking to extend visas or obtain citizenship.
As a law firm located near a number of universities and college campuses, our lawyers have on many occasions represented college students charged with drug crimes, DUIs or assault, disorderly conduct or other misdemeanors or felonies. Students from Illinois or other states rely on our law firm to communicate effectively and frequently to their families and out-of-state parents, always with the college student's permission. We believe in vigorous criminal defense that provides our clients with multiple options so they can select the course of action that is best suited for them.
At our Iowa City law firm, we help put our clients back in control of their life.

Consulted Law firm 2018-2019I'm a client of Attorney Christopher Foster and he's represented me with nothing less than his best efforts. He's extremely professional and carries a very positive attitude. He actually works with you and shows you respect. He's always gotten back to me in a timely fashion. I would use him again and highly recommend him.

Hired Law firm 2014-2017I brought my immigration case to Attorney Chris Foster in 2014. His inept legal secretary did all the forms that I personally was expected to correct from typos to spelling the city my husband was born in incorrectly along with dozens of other mistakes after I already provided the correct information. My husband was seeking U.S. permanent residency as he is still in Germany TODAY after marrying in the United States in 2013. I had to call and schedule days ahead a 10 min "appointment" with Attorney Chris Foster just to force him to take and return phone calls. We made it to the very last step at the U.S. Consulate and the officer asked my husband for a set of legal documents I found out later Attorney Chris Foster should have prepared, and both my husband and I had nothing from Attorney Foster. We never got an explanation, no help preparing for the Consulate interview- he failed to show competency in immigration law. Beware.
