“Eric Tindal was the defense attorney on a serious case for someone I love. Throughout the case, Eric was a careful listener and a responsive communicator. But most importantly, he was HIGHLY effective in trial: personable with the jury, but savage when arguing his points. The other attorney he works with, Andrea, is extremely on point as well. The prosecutor gave up and asked for a deal halfway through the trial. The original charges had involved decades in prison. By the time Eric was done, that had melted away to months. Eric won him another chance at life with this trial. My loved one is a black man who has encountered a lot of racism within the criminal justice system in Iowa, and we were glad to find an attorney who acknowledged his concerns and who we felt confident would fight hard to ensure his right to a fair trial. Eric and Andrea more than delivered on this. Would recommend them to anyone.”- Nora H.

“My name is Charles A. W. and I was represented by Andrea D. Jaeger of the law firm Keegan, Tindal, & Jaeger. And I must say that Andrea’s a very confident, charismatic woman in the courtroom. Her poise was always on point and she never wavered, any and everything that transpired in or out of the courtroom I was made aware of, promptly and professionally always. From the beginning of my indictment all the way until my sentencing, Andrea made me feel calm, comfortable, and most of all content!! Please keep up the great work, Andrea, and I’m very grateful as well as appreciative for you representing me. (Thank you very much.)”- Charles W.

“I was stopped for an OWI. Dean took things as far as he could with the appeals process, finding every way possible to keep me driving in the meantime (which I needed to do for my job). Dean argued the reason for pulling me over was not substantial enough to justify a stop, and we eventually won. Though I certainly do not plan to have to use Dean's services again, I am glad he was there to get my head out of the guillotine when I needed him and keep my record clean. The office staff, Jasmine and Hayley, were also pleasant to work with.”- Ryan
