About Jacob
Jacob Kiel came to law after completing both undergraduate and legal studies at Drake University. He earned a Bachelor of Science from Drake and then returned to its law school for a Juris Doctor. Those years in Des Moines shaped his approach to practice and gave him a grounding in legal research and counseling.
After law school, Kiel moved into private practice. In 2024 he joined Stange Law Office, PC as an associate lawyer. That role marked the start of his professional work in Iowa courts and administrative matters. He carries the procedural experience of a young attorney who has had early exposure to client intake, drafting pleadings, and preparing matters for hearings.
Kiel became a member of the State Bar of Iowa in 2024. He maintains that membership and handles matters that arise under Iowa law. His admission to the Iowa bar authorized him to appear before state tribunals and advise clients on state legal issues. Colleagues describe his courtroom preparation as thorough and his written work as clear and organised.
In his day-to-day practice at Stange Law Office, PC, Kiel works on tasks typical for an associate. He conducts legal research, prepares motions and briefs, and communicates with clients and opposing counsel. He also participates in case strategy sessions and assists more senior attorneys on complex matters. Those responsibilities have given him steady exposure to litigation workflows and client counseling.
Outside the office, Kiel keeps a low public profile. He has not been publicly credited with published scholarship or high-profile cases. That absence of public record is consistent with an attorney early in his career who is building experience through hands-on work for clients rather than through public-facing litigation.
He is licensed in Iowa and practices out of the Stange Law Office, PC offices. His current practice involves representing clients in matters arising under Iowa law and serving the firm’s clients in state proceedings.
