Shane Zisman, Attorney at Law

Lawyer Attorney Bankruptcy expert Shane Zisman stands outside of his office in Fairfield Iowa smiling

I completed my law degree from Vermont Law School and hold an undergraduate degree in Business Management.

I have participated in numerous grassroots campaigns including EarthOpenSource and the American Heart Association to benefit underrepresented communities domestically and internationally, engaging with people of various socio-economic backgrounds. My own experience growing up in a low-income family serves as ongoing motivation to advocate for clients in need of financial advocacy and planning.

I am a member of the Iowa Bar Association and admitted to practice in the following courts:

  • Iowa District Courts
  • Federal District Court for the Southern District of Iowa
  • Federal Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District Court of Iowa

My Approach

My approach to law is different than many. I always put my client first, and I do my best to keep us out of the courtroom because I know that’s where things get expensive quickly. I believe you should have access to legal counsel without having to fear you can’t afford it.

I want to give you modern legal support in a way that fits your specific needs. I have a diverse portfolio and a wide range of areas of laws I practice so you won’t need to try to find a new lawyer for each stage of your life. Instead, you can rest easy knowing I can support you each step of the way.

Shane was helpful during a process I didn't want to go through. He also took the time to know about my interests and hobbies. I would recommend Shane for any legal advice.

I found Shane to be the epitome of patience and clarity when working with him on our estate planning. There was no question too trivial for him to consider seriously in his replies to me. He makes himself available and took me through each step carefully.
