The Halbrook Law Firm was started after more than 13 years at larger Des Moines firms. From basic estate plans to complex plans, I strive to make the estate planning process as painless as possible. I have been recognized in the “Best Lawyers” publication each year since 2013 for my work in the trust and estates practice area. I also had the honor of being selected as “Lawyer of the Year” in 2019 for my work in this area.

In addition to representing individuals, I also work with corporate entities and non-profits on various matters. I’ve helped over 25 non profit corporations obtain 501(c)(3) status. I also assist with joint venture agreements, mergers, and acquisitions. Business has always been a passion of mine, and I enjoy working with my clients on their corporate matters.

I was born and raised in Des Moines, graduating from Roosevelt High School in 1998. I attended the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 2002 with a bachelor’s degree in economics. After taking 3 years off to work in Chicago, I decided to go to law school. I attended Drake University, graduating with honors in 2008.

I look forward to working with you.
