McCormally & Cosgrove, PLLC 4508 Fleur Drive, Des Moines, IA 50321

"I recently had the unfortunate experience of dealing with Kolby, who was appointed as a Guardian ad Litem (GAL) for my son. To say that I am disappointed would be an understatement. From the outset, it was evident that Kolby lacked the professionalism and objectivity one would expect from a Guardian ad Litem. Their actions were not only unprofessional but also deeply manipulative, leaving me questioning the integrity of the entire process. Throughout the proceedings, it became increasingly clear that Kolby had a preconceived bias that clouded their judgment. Instead of advocating for the best interests of my child, Kolby seemed more focused on advancing her own anti-father agenda. This blatant bias was not only disheartening but also detrimental to the fair and just resolution of the case. In my opinion, the performance of Kolby as a Guardian ad Litem was nothing short of a disservice to the very principles they are supposed to uphold. It is disheartening to think that someone with such a lack of professionalism and objectivity is entrusted with representing the best interests of children. After doing some further research she is avidly pro-abortion. Oh, the irony. A true wolf in sheep's clothing. I strongly advise anyone considering Kolby to proceed with caution. My experience with them has left me questioning the integrity of the entire legal process, and I sincerely hope that others do not have to endure the same ordeal."

"McCormally & Cosgrove, PLLC was a great firm to work with. They are easy to talk to, are worth more than you will pay for their services, and they make the process to get what you need so easy! I never felt like I was in a stuffy law firm. Everyone was very personal. When I formed my LLC, I didn't know what paperwork I needed. Shayla took the time to explain more than just the paperwork. She gave me real tips about how to financially set up my business so that I would be successful long term - while staying within the law. I went back to her to secure my consulting services agreement which she made broad enough that I can use it in many different settings. I've also used her for personal matters. I know from many friends that also use Shayla and her firm that she specializes in adoption, fertility, divorce, and other family matters. Not only does she specialize in this area, but she treats the client with such care you instantly feel comfortable in her presence."

"As a practicing attorney here in town, Shayla and Maureen are top-notch. They are passionate advocates for their clients and know what they're doing. I highly recommend them as attorneys and refer many cases their way. Everyone I've sent to them has been very happy with their work."

"Shayla and all of her staff are wonderful! I went through a very difficult cross state custody battle. Shayla went out of her way to communicate with my lawyer in Wisconsin to ensure that she was providing legal advice that was in my boys' best interest in both Iowa and Wisconsin. She did an amazing job with the discovery process and was incredibly prepared to represent me in trial. Nobody wants a divorce to go all the way to trial, but if it does, you want someone like Shayla representing you! This divorce could have financially destroyed me, as I earn a substantially higher income than my ex husband. Because of Shayla and with help from my Wisconsin lawyer, my boys and I have a much brighter financial future. Shayla really listened to what I wanted and didn't try to pressure me into decisions. She just wanted what was best for my boys and I. She is very easy to work with, she is intelligent, and is compassionate. Shayla is amazing and made a very difficult time in my life a lot easier! I am forever grateful to her and her staff!"
