WELCOME TO Modern Counsel
Your Life. Your Story.
At Modern Counsel, we understand that life gets complicated. Plans change, people change, and sometimes you need help finding your way forward. When you work with us, you’re not just another case or file. You’re a person with a story, and that story matters.
The law is more than rules and paperwork. It’s a tool to protect what matters most and to help you build the next chapter of your life with confidence. We’re here to listen, to guide, and to help you tell that story in a way that moves you forward.
Your Advocate.
We believe everyone deserves an advocate who truly stands in their corner. The law can feel confusing or overwhelming, but our job is to make it clear and approachable, so you always understand your rights and options.
We take the time to listen, explain, and guide you through every step of the process. You’ll never have to face a legal challenge alone. When you work with us, you have someone on your side who cares about your story and is committed to helping you reach the best possible outcome.
Making the Law Accessible for a Modern World
We know how crazy and fast-paced modern life can be. At Modern Counsel, we are proud and excited to be a digital first law firm, meeting you whenever and wherever you may be. We leverage the latest technology so we can help clients across Iowa take control of their legal affairs without the stress of traditional law firm barriers.
That said, we understand that some people would like an in-person experience when dealing with their attorney, and we are happy to accommodate that if that is something you prefer and need.
Why Choose Us?
We know that choosing an attorney is about more than credentials. It’s about trust. At Modern Counsel, we take that responsibility seriously. When you work with us, you’re not just a client, you’re a person with a story, goals, and challenges that matter.
We take the time to listen and understand what’s important to you, then create a plan that fits your life. Whether you’re settling a loved one’s estate, planning for your family’s future, or navigating a difficult transition, we’re here to make the legal process clear and manageable.
Our practice is built around accessibility and understanding. You’ll always know what’s happening, why it matters, and what comes next. We leverage the latest technology to make working with us simple and convenient, without ever losing the personal connection that matters most.
Everyone deserves compassionate, high-quality legal support, no matter their background, family structure, or location. Modern Counsel is proud to serve clients across Iowa with care, inclusivity, and integrity.
When you choose Modern Counsel, you gain more than a law firm. You gain a trusted advocate who’s on your side, every step of the way.
Protecting Our Pride
From Stonewall to today, our community has fought to be seen, heard, and respected. Obergefell v Hodges was a monumental accomplishment, making marriage equality the law of the land. However, we know rights and freedoms cannot be taken for granted, and that the current legal environment is fueling a cloud of uncertainty that is making many in the community uneasy.
At Modern Counsel, we are committed to helping LGBTQ individuals and families protect their rights and relationships. With our Protecting Our Pride Package, we help you create a plan that ensures your loved ones are protected, your assets are secure, and your voice is heard.
