Additional Information: 

Philip Mears obtained his law degree from the University of Iowa College of Law in 1977, having graduated from Grinnell College in 1971. He has practiced law in Iowa City since he graduated from law school and has been in his current location, the Paul-Helen Building, since 1981. When he first moved into the building, he shared a floor with a tattoo parlor and a Transcendental Meditation center. Since then, the floor has "progressed": now it is shared with psychologists. Mr. Mears’ practice has evolved over the last thirty-six years. When he first started out, his practice was a general one including employment law, juvenile law, and even an occasional divorce.
