Verified ClientHired Attorney 2019-2020Molly Spellman is the best! She is very attentive to your needs. She listens to you and is amazing at staying in communication with you! She will respond to your calls/email same day in most occasions. Molly represented me in a criminal marijuana case that statistically 98% of people in Iowa go to prison for. At this time I was terrified about what might happen to me but Molly kept me calm and logical! With Molly I was able to get an offer of probation with a differed judgement! If I ever need legal representation again I will not hesitate to call Molly Spellman.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
