I firmly believe that if you're in need of legal counsel, you deserve an attorney who's extremely dedicated and genuinely invested in your well-being. I thrive on being that trusted resource to the people of Nevada, Iowa and surrounding communities. Right now, your focus may be on "winning, " but in truth, a victory looks different in every case.
I'm prepared to offer both amicable and aggressive solutions - whatever it takes to get your case moving in the right direction. I've always been driven by a need to serve and help others. This drive is what first led me into law, then into my role as a JAG officer in the U.S. Army, and finally into establishing this practice.

I'm not your typical attorney. I understand that with such a broad spectrum of legal issues, people are looking for someone who understands their specific needs - not a lawyer that takes any case that happens to walk through the door. I specialize in Adoptions, Criminal Defense and Juvenile Law.
I have been practicing law in Nevada, Story, Marshall, Boone, Hamilton and Hardin counties for over 30 years and for the last 20 plus years as the owner of the Olberding Law Office.I have broad experience defending all levels of criminal charges, handling juvenile delinquency cases, acting as an advocate in Child in Need of Assistance cases, and guiding the adoption process.

For more than 30 years, I've defended the criminally accused against just about every kind of criminal charge you can think of. When it comes to case types, I don't discriminate. I'm here as your resource whether you've been accused of drug possession or murder - and everything in between. Below you'll find information about some of the most common crimes I handle regularly at my law firm.
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in 2018, approximately 1,654,282 arrests were made for drug law violations in the United States. In Iowa, drug crimes can include drug manufacturing, possession, delivery, and possession with the intent to deliver a controlled substance. If convicted of a drug crime, the defendant could be facing hefty fines, lengthy prison sentences, and other potential social ramifications.
According to statistics from the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, there were 1,256 reported incidents of property crimes in Story County, Iowa in 2019. Of these, 1,027 were larceny-theft cases. Theft involves taking or controlling someone else's property without their consent and with intent to deprive the owner.
Aggravated assault is one of the crimes included in a 2019 United Health Foundation annual ranking of all states for violent crime, along with murder, rape, and robbery. According to the Foundation's findings, Iowa ranked 13th for incidences of violent crime per 100,000 population. Iowa's population rank is 31.
