Trial-Experienced Lawyers

Too many lawyers are unwilling to try cases — or if willing, are not prepared. At Kragnes & Associates, we have a simple objective at the beginning of any case: no one will be more prepared than us when we represent you in court.

Our lawyers have refined our advocacy skills by trying hundreds of criminal defense and civil cases in court. We are also one of the few firms that is able to take on your civil or criminal appeal. We have argued before the Iowa Supreme Court and know how to analyze court proceedings and present your case thoroughly on appeal. Attorney Christopher Kragnes has obtained some of the largest jury verdicts in Des Moines history, including a $13 million verdict in an insurance bad faith case.

We prepare every civil and criminal matter for trial because we want to represent you from a position of strength. However, if mediation or negotiation will help resolve your legal problem sooner, we will help you avoid a drawn-out and expensive legal battle.

Our law office is located in the historic Liberty Building in downtown Des Moines, where Ronald Reagan used to do radio broadcasts back in the 1930s. We are also only three blocks away from the Polk County Courthouse.
