Home address and telephone information for lawyers cannot be released to the public. Any search that includes a country, county, city or state value as a search criterion will only return results based on business location information for lawyers. If a lawyer has not reported business address information to the commissions of the Iowa Supreme Court, that lawyer�s name will not appear on any search that includes location information as a search value. For example, a lawyer who is retired, inactive or unemployed may not have business address information to report or include in the commissions� database.
