About
I was born and raised in Virginia. I grew up on the family farm. I worked along side my parents growing apples and peaches and raising cows. I was active in athletics and received a scholarship to attend Bluefield College in Bluefield, Virginia. While attending college I played volleyball and softball. I moved to Sioux City, Iowa in 1997. My husband played baseball for the Sioux City Explorers. I started working as a paralegal, but had my heart set on law school. I graduated from the University of South Dakota School of Law in 2003 and moved to Marshall County, Iowa. My husband is the baseball coach at Marshalltown Community College. I have practiced law in Marshalltown, Iowa since 2003. I also served on the city council and as Mayor of Haverhill, Iowa. I am currently the President of the YMCA. I have three wonderful children. Liberty is 12 years old and I was blessed with twins, Ella and Brady that are 9 years old. They are very active in sports and keep me busy.

To Whom It May concern: I am grateful for Joanie Grife. She is a wonderful person and an articulate attorney. She is understanding, listens, and lets you know what is going on in your case.

I got injured at work in March 2019. After months of searching for a Work Comp lawyer, I found Joanie Grife and I couldn't have found a better lawyer to represent me! She was behind me during the entire process, beginning about July 2019 until July 2020. At any point, if I had questions/concerns or didnt understand paperwork or the case process, she was there to fully explain everything and answer all questions. She is straight forward, very experienced, understanding, and made me more comfortable with my case, knowing she was the one handling it. She is determined and will push to get things done in a way that is in the best interest of you. She is the perfect combination of being empathetic and stern to get the job done and closing your case with the best possible outcome in your favor. She is compassionate and devoted to her clients. Joanie is a one-of-a-kind lawyer that I would recommend to anyone and everyone that is dealing with a difficult situation during a Work Comp case. Joanie and her paralegal, Julie, always returned my phone calls in a timely manner. When hiring Joanie, you will come to find that she truly cares about you and not the paycheck she will get from your case. She settled my case and did so very diligently. There are not enough ways to say "thank you" for everything she has done. She is truly a blessing and was amazing through the entire process! Joanie is #1 in my book and I would gladly give her more stars, if possible, and recommend her to any and all that need a lawyer for Work Comp or Personal Injury.
If you need an attorney who will be there for you and who truly cares about her clients, then there is no question that you need to contact Joanie. My case was very unique and a very difficult for me but Joanie was always there for me, she has compassion and understanding and treats her clients with dignity she does right by her clients. To some this may not matter but for me it was a very important factor, I wanted an honest and just Attorney that would understand my Christian values and Joanie did that!! I recommend Joanie to everyone I know with a work injury! My husband was seriously hurt at work, while waiting for him to be taken to recovery after surgery I was contacted by a workers compensation insurance agent who was very unkind to say the least! My 1st reaction was to call Joanie, she took the time to calm me down and told me she would help me and she would handle things immediately all I needed to do was take care of my husband and she did just that! I did not get any more calls from the work comp insurance and was able to focus strictly on my husband's recovery, Joanie is there for here clients and gives every case over and far above 100 percent,I cannot stress the fact enough if you need a lawyer to handle your work comp case you need Joanie Grife there is no other Lawyer in my opinion that will be there for you during your case and After your case is over Joanie will be there!!
When I first consulted with Joanie, I was scared, confused, completely stressed out and still hurting from an injury I had suffered at work. I was immediately impressed with her professionalism, intellect and confidence. This had a calming affect on me. Lines of communication were always open and she walked me through the entire process each step of the way. We won. I am very grateful for having met her.
Joanie was hired by my Dad, after he worked for 28 years at the same company. He put in more time and effort than anyone I know. He had always taught us to give everything we have and we will, in return get what we deserve. Unfortunately, for my Dad, that wasn’t the case. He did not receive everything he deserved. Joanie made sure that my Dad got what was long overdue! She never beat around the bush or told him that any of this would be easy. She answered all questions he had, even if he asked the same question 15 different ways! She truly wanted the best for him and I will never forget the way she responded when it was over and he got what he needed! You’re not just another client, or a paycheck, she truly cares for the people she works for and that was one of the best things I can take away from this. She is one of the most compassionate and caring people I have ever met and a simple, “Thank you,” just won’t be enough!
Joanie was a great blessing to our family. Through her hard work and effort, she helped get my father the settlement he deserved. She was very straightforward about the process and everything that would be happening during the hearing. She is an incredible lawyer and really changed our lives. We can’t thank her enough! Thanks Joanie!
Joanie was assigned to my work injury case and was very direct as to what the outcomes of my case could be. Joanie worked very diligently to ensure the outcome of my settlement would be in my favor... and it did. I am grateful for the services Joanie provided me. Without reserve, I would recommend her to anyone in need of a workers compensation or personal injury lawyer.
