Since beginning my legal practice as an associate with a general practice firm in Eastern Iowa in 2006, I have particularly appreciated the complex logistical, emotional, and legal needs that clients face when they become involved in family law litigation. Over the past many years, I have enjoyed representing clients in a wide range of family law matters including dissolutions of marriage, custody proceedings, modifications, terminations of parental rights, adoptions, child support reviews, mediations, civil domestic abuse cases, and appeals. I have had the privilege of representing clients in counties throughout Southeastern Iowa, including Linn, Johnson, Benton, Iowa, Tama, Washington, Keokuk, and Scott counties. I have also helped clients with needs such as the drafting of prenuptial agreements and Qualified Domestic Relations Orders. Having served as a family law mediator since 2010, mediation has become one of my favorite aspects of family law practice, as it provides parties with the opportunity to avoid the need for further litigation, and it imparts parties with more power to control the outcome of their cases in a mutually agreeable and satisfying manner.. Working as an attorney is a second career for me. After receiving a B.A. in Philosophy and Psychology from the University of Manitoba in Canada, where I grew up, I attended graduate school and received my M.A. in Philosophy from Duke University. I relocated to Cedar Rapids when my husband began teaching at Coe College. For many years, I taught classes in Philosophy at Kirkwood Community College and Coe College as an adjunct professor. In 2006, I graduated with my J.D. from the University of Iowa College of Law and began practicing as an attorney. I also enjoyed the great privilege of serving as a law clerk to the local judges of the Sixth Judicial District of Iowa in 2008 and 2009, assisting with legal research and with the drafting of rulings and orders.. Having lived in Cedar Rapids for over 25 years, this community has grown to be my home. For many years, I volunteered in the Cedar Rapids Community Schools, and I truly appreciate all that this area has to offer.

Craig Nierman helps attorneys and their clients win through mediation and arbitration without bias or “number carrying.”. Experience. An “AV” rated, 25-year litigation veteran, Craig has substantial experience on both sides of the “v” through jury and bench trials, injunctive relief, arbitrations, and appeals. Clients have included:. Individuals, businesses, and carriers in insurance cases including first party (e.g., health, property, life, “no fault,” etc.), third party (e.g., wrongful death, professional negligence, property, injury, etc.), extracontractual damages, agent/broker errors and omissions, and subrogation claims.Businesses, non-profits, people, and government agencies in a variety of commercial tort, contract, employment, banking, debt, corporate governance, and acquisition matters, as well as real estate development, sale, and leasing issues; andPatients, insurers, public and private hospitals, and other providers in healthcare cases such as professional and products liability claims, reimbursement and revenue cycle issues (e.g., payer contracting as well as questions of experimental treatment and medical necessity), primary and secondary payor conflicts, and HIPAA compliance.. Mediation. Craig walks in understanding the case’s unique contours and applying them to his decades of trial experience.. He is not a “number carrier” or bully. Instead, he knows the verdicts and law, gives frank feedback, and lets the parties evaluate their risks.. Craig’s credibility, established through helping both plaintiffs and defendants, enables him to connect in all rooms. Clients feel heard as he listens to their story and perspective. He persists—for months if necessary—to get the deal done.. Arbitration. Arbitration should be faster, less expensive, and at least as fair as trial. However, too often, it turns out to be a drawn-out process involving escalating arbitrator fees and murky awards.. Craig’s focus is on remembering that he works for the parties (not the other way around).. His cross-party expertise in insurance, business, torts, and healthcare law enables him to fairly identify the salient issues. His decisions are well-reasoned and based solely on the evidence and law.. Recommendations. What people are saying:. Mr. Nierman does an extraordinary job…Based off of my experience with working with Mr. Nierman during these mediations, he is right up there with the best of the best.– J.D., Illinois Attorney. He does not quit. One of the best I have ever worked with.– M.M., Iowa Litigant. Craig went above and beyond to shepherd the parties to a resolution and early settlement in this case. When the parties stalled out several hours into the scheduled mediation, he did not give up and continued to mediate between the parties separately until we got it done.– J.G., Florida Attorney. Thought Leadership. Craig has published multiple articles on psychological aspects of mediation as well as insurance arbitration (the American Bar Association recently published his papers on applying empirical research to negotiations and how virtual mediation poses unique challenges for trust formation). The business law textbook he co-authored is in its third edition.. Personal. Craig married his high school sweetheart; they have two adult children and a grandchild. He values time with his family and friends, learning new things, and adventuring, especially kayaking.
