We were proud to spend time in Norwalk supporting the community through Lunch in the Park. Our team helped hand out snacks and groceries to local residents, and it was a meaningful opportunity to connect with and give back to our neighbors.
Thank you to everyone who makes events like this possible—we are grateful to be part of such a strong and caring community.

We’re proud to be part of the Missouri Employment Conference today and tomorrow!
Our attorneys Brent, Jonathan, and Dawnelle are taking the stage to share their insights, and we’re excited to be a conference sponsor this year. Even better—it’s our first time hosting a booth!

We’re proud of our partner, Kylie Franklin, for dedicating her time and expertise to coach Muscatine High School’s Mock Trial team this season. Her commitment to developing future leaders in law and public speaking reflects the values we hold at Hinders, Updegraff & Franklin, PLC. Congratulations to Kylie and the entire team on an outstanding year! ⚖️👏

CASE CLOSED ON AN INCREDIBLE SEASON

Muscatine High School’s Mock Trial team competed at the St. Ambrose regional competition on Wednesday — one of the largest regionals in the state — and represented MHS with pride.

The team finished just a few points shy of qualifying for the state tournament in Des Moines, capping off a season marked by hard work, growth and impressive improvement. Their dedication throughout the year was evident in their performance.

While we will miss a strong group of seniors, we are excited about the future of the program and continuing to build consistency and excellence in MHS Mock Trial.

👏 Congratulations to our students and coaches on a great season!

Coaches: Tom Reidel, Korie Talkington, Amy Hering, Kylie Franklin, Theresa Hilbrant and Alex Iosbaker

Students: Saxby Stein, Ella Maynard, Brady O'Connor, Mallory Bruhn, Cadence Petersen, Allison Hodapp, Abby Schell, Kensley Paul, Jayden Reidel and Cadyn Caliger
