Our Purpose

At Flanagan Law Group, PLLC, our purpose is to provide skilled, compassionate legal representation while helping our clients move forward with clarity and confidence. Based in Des Moines, Iowa, we represent individuals and families facing complex legal challenges in family law, criminal defense, and litigation.
​
We understand that legal issues, whether a divorce, custody dispute, or criminal charge, are rarely just legal. They impact families, finances, and futures. Our Des Moines attorneys bring experience, creativity, and practical problem-solving to every case, guiding clients through difficult moments with honest advice and steady advocacy.
​
Balancing toughness with compassion is what we do best. Every client is supported by a dedicated legal team that includes a partner, an associate, and a paralegal, ensuring accessibility, responsiveness, and continuity throughout the case. When needed, we work alongside trusted professionals such as counselors, forensic accountants, business valuators, and mental health experts to ensure our clients receive comprehensive legal guidance.
​
Strategy is at the heart of our approach. Our lawyers develop targeted, realistic plans tailored to each client’s goals, whether in family law or criminal defense, evaluating the full range of potential outcomes to save time, manage costs, and reduce unnecessary conflict. We focus not only on resolution, but on helping our clients and their families heal and move forward.
