Wilson Law Firm plans move to Conrad

CONRAD- A Gladbrook native with 15 years of legal experience is moving her practice from Marshalltown to Conrad, and Jennie Wilson-Moore and her husband, Jake, caught up with The Grundy Register last week to discuss the rationale for the relocation and the small town environment that she found so appealing.
 
Wilson-Moore graduated from Gladbrook-Reinbeck High School in 1995, received her undergraduate degrees in History and Political Science from the University of Iowa in 1999 and went on to earn her JD from Drake University Law School. Though she had originally set her sights on becoming a doctor, taking a chemistry class quickly pushed her in a different direction.
 
“I got a double major in history and political science, and there’s very little you can do with that besides become a teacher or a lawyer,” she said.
 
Her first experience in private practice came in Perry, but she made the decision to go it alone and first opened the Wilson Law Firm after four years. She and Jake, who now works as a firefighter in Marshalltown, met in Perry and eventually moved back to Marshalltown, where she practiced in the City Centre building across from the courthouse with the hope of eventually moving north to Conrad.
