He is known for making complex legal matters easy to understand and for giving clients direct, practical guidance.

Jeremy Feitelson has practiced law in the Des Moines area since graduating from Drake University Law School in 2004. He earned his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Central Florida before attending law school, and he is licensed to handle cases throughout the State of Iowa.

Over more than two decades, he has built his practice around family law, primarily divorce, child custody, and adoption, and has become a licensed Iowa family law mediator, helping divorcing and co-parenting families resolve their differences without going to trial.

He has also handled a significant number of matters through the Polk County Bar Association’s Volunteer Lawyers Project, assisting low-income individuals with divorces and other legal matters at little or no cost.

His Approach

Jeremy believes clients make the best decisions when they truly understand their options. He focuses on listening carefully, explaining the law in plain language, and providing clear, practical solutions, so clients feel confident rather than overwhelmed.

Family law matters are emotionally difficult, especially when children are involved, and his goal in every case is to protect his clients’ interests and their family’s future while helping them move forward with confidence. Clients work directly with him from start to finish.

What He Does Differently

What sets Jeremy apart is his ability to make complex legal matters easy to understand. Rather than burying clients in jargon, he gives straightforward guidance and practical options, backed by more than 20 years of courtroom and negotiation experience.

Because he is also a licensed family law mediator, he can help many families reach resolution without the cost and stress of a trial, while remaining fully prepared to litigate when a case requires it.
