This woman is a MASTER at her craft in Family Law. I had worked with multiple Family Law attorneys prior that were lower cost and the results showed. Catherine is worth every penny that she charges. She uses a respectful, organized, and responsive system. Her assistant Liz is outstanding and she passes off as much work to her as she can so that your not being charged as much. Catherine is the highest trusted attorney I know and recommend anyone who is fighting for their child or loved ones too put your trust into Catherine and her team! Look nowhere else! Forever grateful for you Catherine.

Hired Attorney Earl Kavanaugh

Earl was attentive to all my questions, and he always replied in a timely manner. He was kind and helped me through this difficult time. When we had to go to court he made me feel at ease, and fought hard for me and my children. I am very greatful to have found such a kindhearted attorney as Earl.

Hired Attorney Earl Kavanaugh

Earl has been my attorney a few times and each time the outcome of the case has always been more than I ever thought possible. He is very knowledgeable and always professional. I felt Earl went above and beyond for me and is an amazing person. Our last case took over a year and he was passionate from beginning to end and always thinking of what was best for the children. If you want someone who cares, listens, and gives a 110%, it is Earl. He is the best!

Hired Law Firm

Catherine Dietz-Kilen represented me in a contentious divorce after a decades long marriage. She made sure I had every piece of documentation I needed and helped me to fully understand what I needed to know about Iowa divorce laws and proceedings. I believe she worked hard to get me the best possible settlement and really cares about her clients. I'm so grateful I had her on my side and as my lawyer. I found her by asking another lawyer who he would retain if he was filing for a divorce.

Hired Attorney Earl Kavanaugh

Earl Kavanaugh, with Harrison & Dietz-Kilen, is an amazing attorney! He is very passionate about his work, and it shows by how he puts himself into each case 100%. He takes family law cases very personally and practically brings himself into the family in order to be able to have any and all information he needs for the case. Personally, Earl was able to help me win my case, which he took great pride in as he should. If anyone is needing an attorney for family law issues, Earl is who you want!!

Hired Attorney Earl Kavanaugh

Earl was a great listener and looked at what was best for the child and also both parents. He is very aware of what is best for children and gets input from other professionals if needed.
He filed legal paperwork in a timely manner and was able to communicate well with the oposing lawyers. I was impressed with his community spirit and caring attitude. He was able to accomplish what was needed with a fair charge for his time. He was wonderful and I plan to use his expertise for other issues.

Practical, down-to-earth, very smart yet able to speak like a "real person." The firm responded quickly and thoroughly on personal issues including divorce and estate planning. I was included at every stage with clear explanations and Catherine thought of many things I didn't think of. I recommend her highly.
