Steven Smith
When my company faced a daunting federal investigation into its accounting practices, we turned to William S. Smith. His 57 years of experience, particularly in white-collar defense, were immediately evident. Mr. Smith's deep understanding of both the legal landscape and the practical realities of business in Iowa was invaluable. He guided us through every step with a calm, strategic approach that instilled confidence. His long-standing recognition by Best Lawyers is well-deserved. Thanks to his meticulous preparation and negotiation, we achieved a highly favorable resolution that allowed the business to continue operating. I cannot recommend his expertise at Dickinson, Bradshaw, Fowler & Hagen highly enough.
