Carney Appleby Law

Carney Appleby Law Firm is one of the best in the business for everything from business matters to family law and more. I’m a middle-aged father who has been going through a lot since 2023. Katrina Raisch represented me through my divorce, which started and was resolved promptly in 2023, and I ended up with 50/50 custody of my daughters. A couple of years later, in 2025, my ex filed a modification seeking primary custody of both girls. It’s been a roller coaster ride, to say the least, including a long year of back-and-forth and even hiring a CFR. Through it all, Katrina stayed on top of every detail and never left me wondering what was happening. In the end, she secured the outcome any father could hope for — my ex did not get primary custody. Katrina is a straight shooter who tells you

Danielle Dunne took my case and worked with me from out of state. Danielle was professional, personable and kind throughout my case. Danielle was patient and explained things to me as I had never needed legal advice before. I have been very happy with how I was represented and would refer anyone to use Carney Appleby Law Firm.

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%!!

Katie raisch was an amazing lawyer I wish she was able to represent me till the end but she had maternity leave. which is okay! However my case was taken over by Danielle dunne right at the end! Danielle is caring and she’s really great at responding. However when taking over my case she didn’t highlight me and my story. When on the stand Danielle highlighted my affidavit. She asked questions about what each picture meant and what I was doing? I didn’t need my pictures represented….I needed my story to be told. I think maybe she was hoping to get more information from me. Danielle seemed so nervous. When the judge told her to start asking other things her questions were everywhere. It was all a mess which made both of us look bad. While the others were making statements she looked over to

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,
