I worked with Danielle Dunne and she was outstanding!! After being turned down by a couple other lawyers, Danielle was confident she would be able to take me on. Always kept that line of communication open and kept me up to date on what was going on. She always stayed calm and realistic, which is something I definitely needed going through what I was going through. She fought with me until the very end and the outcome was exactly what I asked for/expected. I would recommend her to anyone for representation, she is worth it 100%!!
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!
