Introduction

Twenty years of family law practice forms the foundation Jason Burdick has built into Burdick Law, a firm in West Des Moines, Iowa, that focuses on the legal dimensions of family transition. Operating from 1501 42nd Street, Suite 350, West Des Moines, IA 50266, the firm takes on the cases that define major turning points for families: divorce, custody, child support, adoption, and guardianship. Clients in the Des Moines metro and across Central Iowa can reach the firm at (515) 423-1360.

High-conflict family law cases sit at the center of what distinguishes Burdick Law from broader general practices. Contested custody proceedings and contentious divorces involve legal complexity and emotional intensity that rewards attorneys who have handled many of them. Jason Burdick has done exactly that, which is why clients with situations where cooperation between the parties is absent come to this West Des Moines office seeking experienced representation.

Practice Areas

Burdick Law concentrates on family law and covers the principal matters that arise when families face legal transitions.

Divorce – From straightforward dissolutions to complex property division involving businesses, retirement accounts, and disputed assets, the firm handles divorce proceedings across the spectrum of difficulty.

Custody and Visitation – Legal and physical custody arrangements, parenting time schedules, and the evidence needed to support or contest proposed arrangements.

Child Support – Establishing support obligations, calculating amounts under Iowa guidelines, and addressing modifications when circumstances change.

Adoption – Legal adoption proceedings for clients seeking to expand their family through the courts.

Guardianship – Guardianship proceedings for minors or adults who require a legal guardian.

High-Conflict Family Law – Cases where cooperation between parties is limited or absent, requiring representation that can handle escalation at every stage of the legal process. The firm has specific experience managing high-conflict situations through negotiation, mediation, and litigation.

Client Focus

The firm targets clients who face genuine legal challenges in their family cases. That includes people going through standard divorce proceedings, but it particularly includes clients whose situation involves a high-conflict counterpart – an opposing party who makes cooperation difficult, who challenges every issue, or who has retained aggressive counsel.

In those cases, experience matters most. Twenty years of family law practice provides a practical knowledge base that no amount of general litigation experience replicates. Clients at Burdick Law receive representation designed around protecting their rights and their futures, with the expectation that the attorney can explain exactly what is happening and why at each stage. That includes being clear about realistic outcomes, the timelines involved in Iowa family court proceedings, and the legal standards that govern how judges evaluate custody and support decisions.
