The Polk County Bar Association does not handle complaints against attorneys or judges.

The Polk County Bar Association cannot assist you with finding a lawyer. We suggest you utilize the Iowa State Bar Association’s Iowa Find-A-Lawyer website, where you can search for private attorneys. You can search for attorneys by city, county, or area of practice. Attorneys listed on the Iowa Find-A-Lawyer website may charge for an initial consultation. Click here to search: https://www.iowafindalawyer.com/
