The determination of the need for legal services
and the choice of a lawyer are extremely important decisions and should not
be based solely upon advertisements, certification, specialization or self-proclaimed
expertise. A description or indication of limitation of practice does not mean
that any agency or board has certified such lawyer as a specialist or expert
in an indicated field of law practice nor does it mean that such lawyer is necessarily
any more expert or competent than any other lawyer. All potential clients are
urged to make their own independent investigation and evaluation of any lawyer
being considered. These dislcosures are required by the Supreme Court of Iowa.
