Katie McKain Tegtmeier

As a member attorney with BrownWinick, I take a practical and down-to-earth approach to practicing real estate and corporate law. I strive to assist you with all your legal needs while making the process as smooth as possible for you.

My Approach:

As your lawyer, my role is to “chase the paper” you don't have time to chase. I work diligently to make each transaction as easy as possible for you. I understand that your time is both limited and precious. Therefore, my goal is to provide you with clear and concise information, so we can resolve your real estate issues or complete your transaction with as little interruption to your daily life as possible.

More About Me:

In 2007, I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Iowa in History and Communication Studies. In 2009, I earned a Master of Urban Planning and Real Estate Development degree from the University of Kansas. Finally, in 2012, I earned a Juris Doctorate degree from Drake University Law School.

I was born and raised in the greater Des Moines area and, aside from my brief stint in Kansas, have spent my life in Iowa. Prior to my career with BrownWinick, I practiced law in-house with a large multifamily company and worked for a qualified intermediary performing 1031 exchange transactions. I currently participate in a number of organizations, including the Polk County Women Attorneys Association, CREW Iowa, Iowa Commercial Real Estate Association, and the Iowa State and Polk County Bar Associations, and am a member of the Iowa State Bar Association Title Standards Committee. I have also been selected for inclusion in Best Lawyers® - Ones to Watch in the area of Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights/Insolvency and Reorganization Law, Land Use and Zoning Law and Real Estate Law.
