"Highly Recommend"

I cannot speak highly enough of Christine and her team. From the very beginning, Christine handled everything with grace, professionalism, and a deeply human approach. She is real, approachable, and always makes herself available, even during the most stressful times. Her ability to navigate complex situations while making you feel heard and supported is truly unmatched. Her staff are also top tier—responsive, compassionate, and incredibly efficient. If you’re looking for someone who not only knows the law but genuinely cares about her clients, Christine is the one you want in your corner.

"Patient, knowledgeable and relatable"

Clara was extremely patient and thorough with me. I had many, many questions as I'm not familiar with the legal process at all. She made sure to explain things to me in a way I could understand, not just legal terms. She made the legal mess I was going through easier and she was straightforward with me every step of the way. She also has a great team backing her, so she felt confident to double check on a couple things with which another attorney might have had more experience or expertise. She's not just well versed in the law, but she also has a very comprehensive understanding of the nuances of the Polk County court system. Between Clara and her legal assistant, I felt prepared and informed throughout the entire time working with them.

"Best Lawyer and Law Firm In Des Moines"

I can't thank David Newkirk enough for his outstanding representation during my OWI case. Never have I been in this type of trouble and was concerned for my employment and future. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and truly committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me. He took the time to figure out the State’s weaknesses case against me and I’m unsure if I’d have the same outcome if he wasn’t on my side. His clear communication and thorough approach helped ease my stress throughout the process. If you’re in need of legal representation, I highly recommend David Newkirk and the entire team at Branstad & Olson. Their dedication to their clients is unmatched, and I am incredibly grateful for their support and expertise.

Amazing Lawyer, Highly recommend. Nate Olson was the one to represent me more on Christines behalf and I only had one appearance with Christine but i also rank her at 5 stars as well. I am highly satisfied with the consult of both attorneys and they both helped me win my case and I couldnt be forever more grateful and tremdously thankful i am for their hard work and great professionalism in helping me succeed in landing a great deal on my charge. Thank you again to the both of you :)

"The Best!"

David was truly a savior. I was looking at probation and a suspended prison sentence, I was arrested on an additional felony before sentencing and he still got me probation with a suspended sentence. I already have several criminal charges, but have never been to prison. The were originally trying to sentence me to 11 years. Truthfully, I couldn't have seen my case going much better and a lot of that success I attribute to him being my attorney. I am so grateful!!! Communication was fast and thorough, he was an awesome attorney to work with!
