“There are times in life when the services of a Christian attorney become necessary. This can occur when the unexpected takes place, or when wise planning is called for. The realm of the law is broad, encompassing alleged criminal offenses, custody and/or visitation of children, the death of a loved one or an irremediably broken business relationship resulting in damage and/or loss.”
“These are the difficult times of life, many times reaching a crisis point in which there does not seem to be a good answer or a solution that makes sense. The services of a good attorney can be an invaluable part of progressing from profound dilemma to a satisfactory conclusion.” ….. Robert Anderson
Legal Practice:
Christian attorney Robert Anderson has prevailed in two supreme courts, a move-away custody case involving an only child, rape and kidnap charges, and many, many other and varied cases involving some of the most difficult issues of life. Robert Anderson has a general practice including, but not limited to:
Custody and Visitation of Children, Domestic Violence and Child Support:
There is no substitute for an experienced lawyer when it comes to who your child will be living with, and how much time each parent will have with their child. These issues are some of the most difficult and require advocacy that only the skill learned through experience can provide.
Criminal Defense, both Misdemeanors and Felonies:
The difference between freedom and many years in prison can sometimes only be found in the skill of an advocate.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy:
Insurmountable debt can ruin a meaningful and happy life. The relief provided through the bankruptcy process is ultimately rooted in the Old Testament where God commanded that all debts would be completely released and forgiven every seven years. It is important to be financially responsible, but when it becomes impossible, God has a higher way of viewing things.
Lawsuits, both Plaintiff and Defendant:
There are times when the only remedy for loss, damage and business relationships gone awry is that afforded by a judge and jury. Attorney Anderson is experienced and ready to both bring matters into court, or to successfully defend them.
Estate Planning (Wills and Trusts) and Probate:
Wise planning for the future includes when one dies and what happens to their personal and real property. Attorney Anderson is available to provide insights and options for you to provide for your children, extended family and/or your favorite charity or nonprofit ministry.
Elder Abuse
As many elders age, they become more and more susceptible to being taken advantage of, both mentally, emotionally, financially and physically. Sometimes it is difficult to spot elder abuse even as it is taking place. Attorney Anderson has been trained and is experienced in spotting elder abuse and commencing legal actions to remedy such losses and injuries.
About My Practice
Experienced Lawyer Focused on Christian Values.
Assisting Individuals and Families throughout Iowa.
There are many influences upon our lives: Family, faith, experiences and education, to name the main ones. Certainly one of the main influences upon my life is my faith in Jesus Christ. Practically, this means a daily consideration of His life as my example, and His teachings as my benchmarks. I seek to “do unto others as I would have them do onto me.”
I also believe that every person is of unique and great value, which motivates me to do my very best as my client’s advocate and legal counselor. Finally, there are causes that I believe honor God to such a degree that whether I am paid or not, I consider it a privilege to offer my services at a reduced fee, or in some cases, at no charge.
Additionally, I have discovered that the best opportunity for obtaining success for my clients is to conduct myself in a friendly and kind way toward other attorneys, judges, court personnel and the other party. However, at no time does this viewpoint of mine interfere with aggressive advocacy of my client’s case — it actually makes it easier to be effective.
Sole Practice
I’ve chosen to maintain an independent law practice rather than to work for the government, a county, a city, a law firm or another attorney. This gives me not only total discretion as to whether to represent a particular person or cause, but it also means that each and every client that I represent is one that will have my utmost personal loyalty and attention.
Legal Associations
At the same time that I maintain an independent law practice, I have developed a network of associations with other attorneys and legal organizations that I have trust in.
I have found the Biblical proverb, “…in the multitude of counselors there is safety…” to be true; therefore, I confer with other attorneys whom I believe are wise counselors to discuss which of various strategies will be the best for my client’s case.
Additionally, I’m currently an “ally” having attended two National Litigation Academies and special litigation training with the Alliance Defending Freedom. I have been also affiliated with the Christian Legal Society serving in the past as President of the Orange County Chapter.”

Practice Areas
Dedicated to Representing Individuals Throughout Iowa.
The following arenas of the legal world are those which I have chosen to spend most of my time and energy. I’ve found that each has to do with issues that most profoundly affect the lives of most people.
Custody and Visitation of Children, Domestic Violence and Child Support
There’s very little else in life that so affects one’s life as issues having to do with one’s child or children. Most people are not ready and willing to die for another person, but most parents will not hesitate to put their own life at risk to protect the life of their child — such is the importance of this sphere of law. There is no substitute for an experienced lawyer when it comes to who your child will be living with, and how much time each parent will have with their child. These issues are some of the most difficult and require advocacy that only the skill learned through experience can provide.
Criminal Defense, Both Misdemeanors and Felonies
There are few legal principles that we value more than that which seems like a cliché: “Innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.” We would rather see a guilty person go free, than an innocent person go to jail or prison. The difference between freedom and many years in prison can sometimes only be found in the skill of an advocate.
Also, it is not uncommon for a person to be charged with far more than what they in fact are guilty of; many times justice involves making sure that one is not convicted of a more serious crime that what was actually committed. This area of law is highly significant to me personally, as I as a young college student in the early 1970’s was accused and charged with a serious felony that I did not commit. The prosecutors eventually dismissed the charges — the skill of a good attorney was the difference between my freedom and many years in prison.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Insurmountable debt can ruin a meaningful and happy life. The relief provided through the bankruptcy process is ultimately rooted in the Old Testament where God commanded that all debts would be completely released and forgiven every seven years. It is important to be financially responsible, but when it becomes impossible, God has a higher way of viewing things-and it helps to know that your lawyer is not only skilled in obtaining your discharge from debts, but to do so in a non-judgmental way.
Lawsuits, Both Plaintiff and Defendant
There are times when the only remedy for loss, damage and business relationship’s gone awry is that afforded by a judge and jury. Attorney Anderson is experienced and ready to both bring matters into court, or to successfully defend them.
Estate Planning (Wills and Trusts) and Probate
Wise planning for the future includes when one dies and what happens to their personal and real property. Attorney Anderson is available to provide insights and options for you to provide for your children, extended family and/or your favorite charity or nonprofit ministry.
