Do I need to hire a lawyer?
ATTENTION: IOWAPERB.IOWA.GOV IS MOVING
On July 1, 2024, PERB duties were assigned to the Emploment Appeal Board (EAB). Effective December 3, iowaperb.iowa.gov will no longer be available and all information will be found at the EAB's website, eab.iowa.gov.
Answer:
No, you may represent yourself. You may hire a lawyer to represent you at your
own expense, but you do not have to have a lawyer to participate in proceedings before the
agency. You may also have a person who is not a lawyer attend the hearing and speak for
you, unless the hearing concerns information that is confidential by law and, therefore,
prohibits that person from having access to the information.
