I came to Tom and Cassandra out of desperation to get my children back dealing with a difficult custody case. If I wouldn’t have been referred to Tom I truly believe I would not have my children back in my care today. I noticed he is very respected in the court room, my previous lawyer was not so I recognized the difference. When I first met him for the free consultation he spent 2 hours talking to me and giving me free advice he did not have to give before I hired him. I feel his pricing is fair and working with his excellent paralegal, Cassandra, cuts the cost down. Anytime I contacted her she was very quick to respond with any questions I had. I highly recommend Viner Law Firm.

Tom took the time to make sure that I felt like he cared about my emotional state, not just the facts of my case. He and Cassandra were always professional and helpful. Tom was able to help me resolve my divorce case without trial. I would definitely recommend Viner Law Firm to my friends and family if they are ever in need of legal representation.

Tom and Cassandra are great. Experienced, professional, responsive, and not about racking up as many charges as they can. Highly recommend.

I wish this review was positive but it certainly is not. The whole experience was very bad. The service I asked for was extremely limited, I only needed an amendment completed which was done. However the cost did not at all match the service I was provided. Then upon closing my case it took over a month to receive my prorated deposit back and the check was made out a week prior to it being mailed. After being in a severe financial pinch Viner's office did absolutely nothing to expedite my funds. I would recommend Petrezelka & Breitbach after having dealt with multiple attorneys those guys have always had my best interest at heart and won't rack up your bill for their benefit like this office did.

Tom and Cassandra are amazing to work with. I cannot recommend them enough. Tom provided me with great advice and wouldn’t let me give up when I was tired of fighting. They helped make a difficult situation so much easier!

Incredible. Thomas totally saved me. On such short notice with such a reasonable budget. Would highly highly recommend.

5 stars
When I came to Tom with a rare custody situation I was scared and anxious and felt alone I just had no idea what to do. When I met with Tom he was so welcoming and down to earth and by the end of the consultation (which was free) I knew he was the lawyer for me. Tom is kind and caring and compassionate but in court he was so focused and fought for my daughter like a father would. After 4 months of fighting for us he WON our custody case! He never lied to me or gave me false hope he told me everything from day one and I will always be forever grateful for his and his paralegals work on our case. There were alot of scary moments for me during the custody battle but when I would send an upset, confused and anxious mom email Tom would respond instantly and be there for me as a friend would. Tom is my lawyer and I am confident in his ability to do what he has to do for his clients. Obviously, I highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a lawyer. You are not alone in this, Tom will be there for you every step of the way!

Tom and Cassandra did a very good job helping me in my custody case. They knew the matter was important to me so they always kept me well informed. I would recommend them to anyone going through a divorce and or custody.

Tom and Cassandra are my angels. Tom took my case after everyone else turned me away. He saw an opportunity to do the right thing. He is professional and was very considerate of my time, knowing that I didn't want an outrageous bill. He gave very realistic expectations and was sure to explain why it would be a difficult case to win, but he said he was up for a fight. Getting the call that I won has changed my life for the better. Cassandra, was right there the whole way making the magic happen. They are the best duo ever!!

Facing any legal situation can be a daunting experience but Tom and his team made sure to walk me through what we were dealing with and what we were doing about it, thoroughly. It was also very easy and painless getting in contact and game planning with them throughout the entire process. I definitely would recommend the Viner Lam Firm to any and all friends and family.

I am from out of state. Had a legal problem and Tom dealt with it quickly, kept me accurately informed and got a good result for a modest price. He is very good

U better have deep pockets

Great attorney! Tom and his staff did great work.

Good guy with an even better work ethic, but you better be ready to pay!!

Tom and Cassandra really work hard for fairness in an unfair system

When I met Tom, he was the 3rd lawyer I had consultated with but after our meeting I didn't make it to see the 4th. What got me was Tom's confidence and presentation (by far the best dressed lawyer at court). He's a third generation lawyer so knowing the law was not going to be an issue but when you throw in confidence and self-assuredness, Tom stands out from other lawyers in Cedar Rapids. I had a situation that I knew was going to be expensive. See when you are faced with a legal situation, the $$$ for a good lawyer soon became less and less of a concern. My situation went longer than most, however the outcome was not only fair but more than I had initially hoped for. A lawyer helping guide you through the "system," while at the same time providing an outcome that's better than what you even hoped; well now that's priceless! Thank you Tom.

Viner law firm was extremely professional and understanding during my quite lengthy case. It's an emotional process and you want your law firm to help make reasonable choices and avoid destructive actions----Viner Law Firm did exactly that.

I can't say enough about the wonderful work Tom and Cassandra did during my divorce! Highly recommend!

Tom was great and is fair.

Tom did an amazing job on my case with the best possible result. Would highly recommend Tom and his team for any legal needs.

Tom and his team did a great job of explaining the law, the legal process and options and provided excellent representation. Tom was available at off-hours to discuss important dates and relevant matters with both parents and dependents. I would definitely recommend!

Tom and his team have been a tremendous help to me even after my divorce was finalized. I have been able to contact Tom and his team on many occasions to solicit their advice during many difficult situations and am also working through a current contempt case against my ex. This has been a difficult and trying process, but Tom and his team have continued to be assuring and I couldn't be happier that they have my back. If you're in need of any legal advice or assistance, please don't hesitate to contact Viner Law Firm.

Very dissatisfied. Nick had my case and did great. However i do not agree with me being billed for questions and emails. my whole detainer was used but $300 dollars. The case was dismissed about 2 weeks ago. Still cant get my retainer of whats left back. What other law office do you know that does this. I never went to court even my case was dismissed. my choice. i would look elsewhere unless you got money to burn. i know i dont. Make sure you ask about returns on detainers because i was never told that in the beginning.

110% recommend. Tom is extremely personable, dedicated, honest and efficient. He goes above and beyond for his clients making them feel heard and ensuring that there is complete clarity along the way.

If you're looking for a lawyer that doesn't cut corners, listens, has integrity and gets the job done as quickly as possible, he's the guy.

The absolute worst "professional" I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with.

I ended up personally dismissing him from my case, I've also had to take steps to report him to the Bar Association and Ethics Review Board.

Do not even bother contacting, find another lawyer.

Tom and his associates are very helpful and encouraging in divorce and custody battle. As these are stressful times they have really helped me feel better. Upon hiring Tom and his firm I felt immediately at ease and they got to work. They are in constant contact through the process. And so far I am very happy with the outcome. Highly recommend this firm.

Peter Shayman was great!! Thanks again!! Highly recommend this firm!

I Will always run to Tom with/for my problems! Tom has a passion for what he does, extremely confident and really does care!

Tom has done an excellent job. Answers all questions and generally cares for his client's best interest. HIGHLY recommend hiring Tom. His team is amazing as well.

Nick Capellapo and Tom did a great job for me. Nick was in contact with me the entire time and was a great communicator. I was at a 'give up' point, and Tom didnt allow for that and kept pushing for me thus resulting in a best case scenario result.

I hired this firm to help me with a child custody case. Was not happy at all. I felt like I wasnt a priority at all. It took my lawyer more then a week at a time to respond to me.

Willing to work with his clients. He went the extra mile for me and continues to.

Tom and staff fight for their clients. Would hire again!

We were in need of an attorney quickly one weekend and contacted Tom Viner and he was immediately engaged and helped us through a tough day. We hired him on the spot and never once did he ever not follow through and give us the best advice. We spent approximately two years going through a jury trial and he was the most compassionate, eloquent and intelligent attorney we could have asked for. He knows where to be and what to do at the right time. I can't say enough kind words to describe him and would recommend him to anyone going through a difficult situation. He knows how to get the job done!

I hired Tom for an emotionally charged child custody case and he treated me with respect and dignity and helped understand my case in relation to Iowa law. He was truthful and kept in close contact with me regarding my case even though I was out of state. His office kept in close contact with me as well if he was unavailable, I would recommend and would hire again if I needed an attorney!
