Independence, IA (September 16, 2022) – The law firm of Roberts & Eddy, P.C. is pleased to announce the addition of Associate Attorney, Andrew E. Steffensmeier, to their firm.

Steffensmeier grew up in Cedar Rapids, where he graduated from Xavier high school in 2015. After graduating high school, Steffensmeier attended Iowa State University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Business & Economics. “Having spent a majority of my upbringing surrounded by agriculture, my experiences at Iowa State led me to acquire my Series Three Commodity Broker License, which provided me with an expansive look at agriculture from a global perspective. While studying to receive my Broker’s license, I became interested in the legal rules and regulations surrounding the agricultural industry.”

From there, Steffensmeier attended Drake University Law School in Des Moines. During law school, Steffensmeier worked for Brick Gentry, a law firm in Des Moines, focusing on agricultural, real estate, and probate law. “The firm’s clerkship program provided me with excellent training through substantive legal assignments, including drafting lease and real estate purchase agreements, researching federal farm programs, and preparing complex estate planning documents.” While at Drake, Steffensmeier was also a Senior Editor of Drake University’s Journal of Agricultural Law.

Alongside his legal interests, Steffensmeier officiates high school sports and enjoys golfing.

“I look forward to beginning my legal career with Roberts & Eddy, P.C. and the wealth of knowledge the shareholders and support staff will provide me as I settle into my role as an associate attorney with the firm,” Steffensmeier said.

Eddy, President and Shareholder of Roberts & Eddy, P.C.  “Our firm has experienced tremendous growth the past few years in real estate and taxation, and we look forward to having Andrew assist us in this area to keep up with the demand for our professional services.”
