About Our Firm

About Us

Since 1971 Grefe & Sidney P.L.C. has been providing high quality and efficient legal representation to clients throughout Iowa from its Des Moines and Pella offices. Our clients benefit from our many years of experience in litigation, corporate and business representation, estate planning, and related matters.

As our clients' legal needs have expanded in an increasingly complex business and legal environment, the variety of our services has expanded to meet those needs. Members of the firm have distinguished themselves in their varied professional accomplishments and affiliations. Mark Thomas was a Judge Advocate General officer for four years and has served over twenty years in the Iowa National Guard 132nd Fighter Wing advising the Wing Commander on a wide variety of legal issues. Both John Werner and Patrick McNulty worked for the Iowa Attorney General before joining Grefe & Sidney. Patrick McNulty has also published seven law review articles on libel and slander, and is frequently cited by Iowa courts as an authority on those issues. Guy Cook clerked for Iowa Supreme Court Justice Jerry Larson and worked in the U.S. Attorney's office prior to joining Grefe & Sidney. He has also recently served as the President of the Polk County Bar Association. Donna Miller served as a clerk for Polk County judges and U.S. Chief District Judge Michael Melloy before beginning her Grefe & Sidney career.

We are also proud to number members of the judiciary and administrative branches of government among our Grefe & Sidney "alumni".

We know that every case, whether complex or straightforward, is important to our clients. We are committed to providing you with thoughtful counsel and will advocate zealously on your behalf with the commitment of achieving the best possible outcome for you, the client. With over twenty attorneys in the firm, we ensure that the attorney assigned to your legal matter will be experienced, professional, and maintain the highest level of attention to your issue.
