STAFF TESTIMONIALS
Gwen, Legal Secretary, joined the firm in 1988
"The culture at Ahlers & Cooney is that we are all part of the team, that we’re all in this together. I love the comradery between the attorneys and staff. Over the years, I’ve recognized how they go above and beyond to make us all feel important to the firm and to our clients. It’s the little extras that really make a difference, such as parking assistance, fruit baskets, holiday luncheon, and more. This is a place that truly cares about its people and the success of its clients."
Kim, Legal Secretary, joined the firm in 2012
"Working at the Ahlers firm is great. The size of the firm is perfect as it not only fosters the ability to be a close-knit group of people working as a team, while also presenting opportunities to give back to our local charitable organizations, but it is able to offer benefits that rival any of the much larger companies in Des Moines. Ahlers works very hard to continue to provide us with upgraded technology and tools to make doing our jobs easier, while also providing other benefits that focus on our individual health and financial wellbeing."
Will, Paralegal, joined the firm in 2016
