Carney Appleby Law

"I cannot say enough great things about Jasper Verhofste! He was instrumental in helping me successfully settle my Iowa Civil Rights Commission Housing Discrimination complaint against my former landlord. I contacted easily a dozen other Landlord/Tenant & Civil Rights Attorneys, before finding Carney Appleby Law, and each inquiry ended with the other attorneys saying that the case "didn't fall within" their areas of practice. I was close to giving up on finding legal representation when I sent an inquiry to Jasper's firm. Within a few hours I received a call from Jasper for our free consultation, and I quickly knew I'd found an attorney who not only cared about me and my case, but was extremely knowledgeable about the ICRC complaint process. Throughout the few months we worked together, I was really impressed with Jasper's quick & thoughtful communication, as well as his ability to advise me while still respecting my wishes and opinions. I could not have gotten through the mediation process without him! There was a point where the mediator requested clarification on a whole list of claims from my former landlord, and I felt a bit defeated, but Jasper reassured me that it was normal for the mediator to kind of push back a bit, and not to give up. Because of this, I was able to write out thorough clarifications/accounts which were instrumental in supporting my settlement counteroffer, and it was quickly accepted by my former landlord! Because of Jasper's guidance, we were able to negotiate a large settlement amount (especially for a housing discrimination case), and necessary training for my former rental staff. Additionally, Jasper was so compassionate, and made sure that my retainer went as far as possible, because he knew I was disabled and low-income. I strongly recommend Jasper and Carney Appleby Law! Thank you for making this process a thousand times less stressful than it would've been without your help!"

"I highly recommend Danielle Dunne! I was connected with Danielle after calling multiple attorney offices that were not interested in trying to understand my issue. She took the time to listen to me, understand my situation and was able to resolve my issue. It was a great experience working with her!"

"I would not recommend this firm. The initial meeting and discussion was fine, but when we went to actually work together I felt pushed off for other priorities from the attorney I retained, Katie Raisch. This attorney also sent me a template document that had mistakes and (what I’m assuming was) another clients name on it, it wasn’t mine. So I’m looking at it as a blessing that I have learned some lessons on what I need from an attorney, and that someone lacking that attention to detail is not handling my case."

"Jasper was able to quickly reach a settlement instead of me needing to go through the big hassle of filing small claims. Saved me a ton of time and money. Very professional and high quality work!"

"Katie Raisch is a wonderful attorney to work with. I would highly recommend her. As a person, She is sincere, honest, understanding, and empathetic. As an Attorney, extremely efficient, prompt, professional, and client-centric. I cannot recommend her enough. Also a shout-out to the wonderful team that works with Katie at Carney Appleby Law."
