About Eric
Eric Checketts entered law school after a few years of working in other fields and finished his Juris Doctor at the University of Iowa in 2016. He completed the three-year program that many classmates remember as intense and formative. Those years gave him the practical training and courtroom exposure that he has used in practice since graduation.
After law school, Checketts established his practice in Iowa. He is licensed to practice in the state and maintains active membership in the State Bar of Iowa. He also joined the Iowa State Bar Association in 2016 and has been listed as a current member there. Those affiliations connect him to the professional community across the state and provide resources for continuing legal education.
Colleagues say Checketts approaches cases in a straightforward way. He favors clear writing and direct questioning in court. He learned early on that careful preparation matters more than theatrical arguments. That approach has shaped how he manages client matters and interacts with opposing counsel and judges.
Checketts has handled a range of matters since opening his office. He works on issues that commonly arise for individuals and small businesses in Iowa. His workload includes motions, hearings, and negotiated resolutions. He spends as much time on the papers and discovery as he does preparing witnesses. Clients who stay through a matter often remark on his attention to procedural detail and his regular communication about next steps.
Outside the office, Checketts has kept active in bar activities and local legal events. He attends association meetings and workshops that are relevant to everyday practice. That engagement keeps him current on rule changes and procedural developments that affect cases in Iowa courtrooms.
Checketts Law, PLC is the firm where he currently practices. The office operates in the state and fields inquiries from clients across Iowa. He handles matters for individuals and businesses, and he continues to maintain his professional bar memberships and ties to the local legal community.
