About

I originally became interested in law while interning with the Waterloo police department during my time as a student at Upper Iowa University.  During that time I originally wanted to be a prosecutor.  However, while attending Drake University School of Law, I worked for a criminal defense attorney and realized that I like the challenge of defending individuals charged with crimes.   Outside of the office, I enjoy lifting weights and compete as a bodybuilder.  I coach youth and high school club wrestling in Bondurant.  I also like to camp, fish and hunt.

Very pleased with Scott. He let me know what to expect, moved quickly, and kept me informed throughout the process. And, he took time to talk through scenarios and returned my calls when I had questions.

Scott went above and beyond helping me to be removed from the SOR. Being female it is a little bit trickier and not as clear cut. He made sure to gather all the necessary information needed to make my case a winning case and that’s exactly what it was! I was removed!

Scott Micheals was the lawyer that I hired for my case. I appreciated the updates throughout the case, always letting me now what the situation was and how he recommends how it should proceed. Pretty impressed by the way everything was handled with him looking over the videos presented and figuring out the best wag to go forward. Very knowledgeable with cases like mine and wouldn’t think twice about recommended him to someone else in my situation. Even though the case didn’t go exactly my way I am pleased with the amount of effort put in to it.

Scott Michaels was very helpful with my case. He was extremely understanding, thorough, and concise. I had no trouble doing everything I was supposed to, and I felt confident that he was going help me to achieve a better outcome. I never had much for doubt because I was comfortable in the fact that he knew who we were working with and what we could use to help me to minimize the situation as much as possible. He looked over my tapes and reviewed them with me over the phone and I felt like I could trust that he was finding everything there is to back up our claim.

Scott handled my case extremely well. He walked me through every step of the process and there were no surprises along the way. He's an excellent attorney and was prepared for everything that came up. I would not hesitate to hire him in the future.

This being my first time charged with a DWI, I wasn’t sure whether to fight it or not. Started doing some research and found that with the “right” attorney, you’re crazy if you don’t fight it. Scott is definitely that “right” attorney. He and his law firm specialize in this sort of thing. Right from the initial free consultation Scott helps to put you at ease and gives you an understanding of what you can reasonably expect from your case. He is straight forward and direct, without a lot of unnecessary BS just so you’ll hire his services. If hired, Scott and his assistant Emily will do their utmost to take care of your case and provide you with the best possible outcome. With their expertise, Scott was able to get my DWI and Driving W/O Headlights reduced to a mere Public Intox with a $65 fine (the lowest amount for that offense). I would highly recommend Scott and his staff as they can definitely make a difference in an unfortunate situation.
