<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I lived in Johnson County, Iowa for several years. I have lots of knowledge of the geography, less of who the best estate litigators are, but you may get a good referral from
some of the better known law firms in the area. University of Iowa has a top-ranking law school, so you should have plenty of capable local lawyers to choose from. Cedar Rapids, though outside Johnson County, is an easy commute from Iowa City and is basically
part of the same “metro” area, so firms there may practice in both Linn and Johnson counties. Here are the firms where I recognize the most names and faces and probably cover the right practice areas:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
