The determination of the need for legal services
and the choice of a lawyer are extremely important decisions
and should not be based solely upon advertisements or self-proclaimed
expertise. A description or indication of limitation of practice
does not mean that any agency or board has certified such
lawyer as a specialist or expert in an indicated field of
law practice nor does it mean that such lawyer is necessarily
any more expert or competent than any other lawyer. All potential
clients are urged to make their own independent investigation
and evaluation of any lawyer being considered. These disclosures
are required by rule of the Supreme Court of Iowa.
Memberships and offices in legal fraternities and legal societies,
technical and professional licenses, and memberships in scientific,
technical and professional associations and societies of law
or field of practice does not mean that a lawyer is a specialist
or expert in a field of law, nor does it mean that such lawyer
is necessarily any more expert or competent than any other
lawyer. All potential clients are urged to make their own
independent investigation and evaluation of any lawyer being
considered.
