I highly recommend using Thomas Viner as your lawyer. He is very confident and knowledgeable. He was very understanding of our situation, walked us thru the procedures and worked hard to received a very good charge reduction for us. We are very happy that we hired him to help us.

I had a previous custody case a few years ago. When it came time to get a modification, I was referred to Thomas Viner by numerous people. He came highly recommended. And it became easy to see why. Thomas Viner is the type of lawyer I needed for my case. He's very experienced, thorough, determined, and adamant. I had been bullied and thrown around by previous lawyers against me before and Thomas didn't allow that to happen once I hired him. He took my best interest and really made it his best interest. Everytime he fights for you, it's like he's fighting like he would for himself. His experience is unmatchable by any other lawyers around in my opinion. He's realistice of every situation and the possible outcome, but determined to get what other lawyers would consider unreachable. I'm extremely happy I hired Thomas Viner and his firm, they have worked diligently on my case and have kept me up to date on the changes that happen. If you want the best, you need to go with Thomas Viner. Anything else is second rate.

Tom and Cassandra are an amazing team that worked hard for my son and I. Tom didn't provide false hope or expectations and always gave it to me straight. I am learning that family law is a marathon, not a sprint, and this is far from over but I am so so thankful that Tom called me on that bleak Memorial Day when my world was crumbling around me. He is truly the guy you want in your corner when you are fighting for your life. Thank you

I found myself in an unfortunate situation after attending a concert in Cedar Rapids where I was charged with simple marijuana possession. Simple is what I thought not being from Iowa or knowing their incredibly tough cannabis laws. Everything from my career to my freedom were on the line and Mr. Viner truly took it seriously and provided me an outcome from the court that couldn't be any better. What makes this attorney special in my book isn't that he just did his job for me, and did it well. It was AFTER the fact - years later I found myself going through some extensive background checks to become a licensed cannabis business in Colorado. Due to the late 2000s floods my paperwork had been destroyed at the court house and my records had been expunged from the Iowa computer systems. When Colorado ran my background however the FBI was able to see my jailing record from Cedar Rapids. The State of CO required some kind of hard copy proof that my case had been taken care of and was truly expunged from my record. Mr. Viner and his firm to the rescue! The firm had my records preserved in their off-site storage and were able to send documents to the state on my behalf in about 20 minutes- I was issued my license as a result. So - after that long-winded story I hope you will do some research on your needs for an attorney. I believe anyone hiring Mr. Viner or his firm will be in extraordinarily capable and caring hands.

Tom and his team were clear communicators, and tough fighters when it came to my child custody case. In the end, my case closed exactly as wished.

Tom is dedicated to getting a positive outcome for my divorce/child custody case no matter how long it takes and how complicated it gets. He has offered good advice, even when it was difficult to accept.

My case involved a custody settlement. My case was particularly unusual in that my Ex and I divorced in NC, never had a court filed document pertaining to custody or child support, and then we both moved to different states (he to Texas and me to Iowa). I had met or worked with 5 different attorneys prior to Tom, all of which were unpleasant experiences. I read Tom’s reviews and decided I wanted him to represent me. I had an excellent experience with Tom. Tom and Cassandra were incredibly responsive, helpful, forward, efficient, and fair. I don’t think I ever waited more than a day to hear back from them or receive a document/proposal. Tom always made himself available when I needed to speak with him (that day, not days later). They clearly strive to provide exceptional service to every client. I also didn’t have to pay an arm and a leg either. I highly recommend Tom and Cassandra if you want someone who will always be there to answer questions and accomplish things quickly and effectively!

Viner law firm was extremely professional and understanding during my quite lengthy divorce proceedings. It's an emotional process and you want your law firm to help you make choices that benefit you most in the long term and avoid destructive short term "gains"----Viner Law Firm did exactly that.

Had a custody case with sons father whom had been absent for many years. He petitioned me into court wanting visitation in another state. I panicked but Tom remained my peace. He took control over a difficult situation and we came out victorious. Him and his team are amazing. They put the client first and are readily available at all times. Questions are answered promptly and with full attention to detail. They tell you the ugly truth and also the beautiful truth. They are all amazing!!!!
