As a litigator, John Q. Stoltze is proud to represent John Q. Public in any way he can, through trial and appeal. He passionately pursues his clients’ interests and tells it to them straight. Working with his dedicated team, he aims to get the best result possible for his clients and guides them through the hurdles and processes their legal claims will put in front of them. John likes to focus his expertise in personal injury, car accidents, and workers’ compensation, but often finds himself jumping into civil rights law and contract and insurance law, with the occasional class action on the side. Like the law, ever changing, John focuses on the problems his clients have at the time and will endeavor to aid them. Through years of practice, John has helped obtain favorable outcomes for numerous clients. John came from a family of lawyers, with his father and two of his brothers practicing before he, as the youngest, was finally able to get himself to law school at Des Moines’ local Drake University Law School. Now, he and his brother Bruce Jr. practice in their own firm as partners with their team of legal professionals. Working with his family has led him to benefit from the decades of experience of those that came before him. When outside of practice, he gets involved with the Iowa Association for Justice and interacts with the many attorneys that field the organization, spends time donating to the occasional charity for organizations like the Blank Children’s Hospital and the iCare Eat-a-thon, and works with his friends on a budding media business, BS Legal By Design. When he comes home, he cuddles up with his lovely partner and their adorable yellow lab, Logan.

Al Willett is a practicing lawyer in the state of Iowa. He currently works for the privately owned firm of Viner Law Firm with experience in Federal Criminal Defense.

My experience spans more than 30 years representing accident victims and injured workers. I represent injured clients across the entire state of Iowa. The primary focus of my practice is personal injury. I represent victims of car, truck, motorcycle and work place injuries, slip and fall victims, and others injured by the fault of another. Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, so you don’t pay unless we recover money for you. I also handle medical malpractice cases, workers' compensation, wrongful death, dog bites, as well as industrial accidents, products liability, and class actions. I speak fluent Spanish and can assist Spanish speaking clients with a variety of legal needs. Let me put my legal experience to work for you.
