A Lifeline for Our Business During a Complex Employment Dispute

Our company faced a potentially devastating wrongful termination lawsuit from a former executive. The allegations were complex, and we needed counsel who understood both the legal intricacies and the practical realities of managing a workforce in Iowa. From our first consultation at Shuttleworth & Ingersoll, Terri Davis demonstrated why she is so highly regarded. Her three decades of experience, particularly in employment law and litigation, were immediately evident. She meticulously dissected the case, explaining our position with clarity and outlining a strategic defense that balanced legal rigor with business sense. Her deep knowledge of Iowa employment law and her background in commercial litigation were invaluable. Terri guided us through every step—discovery, mediation, and ultimately to a favorable settlement that protected our company's reputation and finances. Her professionalism was unwavering, yet she made us feel like a priority, not just a case file. It’s no surprise she has been recognized as a Lawyer of the Year in her field. We are profoundly grateful for her exceptional service and expertise.
