Managing Partner

I became a lawyer in 2003, focusing exclusively on agricultural law:
Real estate
Farm & business transition planning
Estate planning
Probate
Agricultural civil litigation
I don’t just understand the legal framework—I understand the lived reality.
I know what a CSR2 score means. I know why it matters. I know how neighbors influence land value, succession decisions, and disputes.
I know that every acre carries history, family dynamics, and emotion inside its legal description.
I’ve lived the heartbreak of losing a family farm. And I’ve lived the responsibility of protecting one.
Gage G. Kensler grew up in Marengo, Iowa, just a stone’s throw from Belle Plaine. When he walks into city hall or attends a community event, chances are he already knows the people around him. For Gage, practicing law in the community where he was raised is more than a career — it is a calling rooted in trust, service, and responsibility.
Gage earned his law degree from the University of Iowa College of Law in 2017 and has built a practice focused on the needs of everyday Iowa families. He primarily handles family law, estate planning, probate, municipal law, and tax return preparation — areas that often arise during some of life’s most important and challenging moments. Whether he is helping a family through a difficult transition, guiding someone through estate planning, or ensuring a loved one’s final wishes are honored, Gage brings both skill and genuine care to every matter.
Clients return to Gage because they know they can rely on him for thoughtful legal guidance and a steady, trustworthy presence. He maintains an active pro bono case list, is a proud member of the Iowa State Bar Association, and volunteers with several local nonprofit organizations.
Outside of work, Gage enjoys road trips, exploring new places, and spending time outdoors. He believes a full life makes for a better attorney — one who understands that clients are much more than their legal problems.
If you are looking for an attorney who will listen, stand beside you, and genuinely care about your outcome, Gage is ready to help.
Attorney


Preserving your hard-earned assets and giving your family long-term security starts with a well-constructed estate plan. Our Iowa law firm helps individuals and families across our rural communities put together valid wills, medical directives, and robust powers of attorney.
When a loved one passes away, we walk the family step-by-step through the formal Iowa probate administration process to ensure assets are divided correctly and final debts are settled. Our probate practice takes care of compiling estate inventories, publishing creditor notices, and managing final distribution hearings in front of the local Iowa district court.
If a disagreement breaks out among heirs or beneficiaries during the estate administration, our litigation group steps in to handle the probate dispute with sensitivity and precision. We work hard to ensure the court honors your loved one’s wishes while cutting through the bureaucratic red tape that often slows things down for grieving families.

Our Iowa law firm stands up for individuals across Benton, Iowa, Tama, and Poweshiek counties during marriage dissolutions, child custody battles, and support arguments. Iowa is a no-fault divorce state, which means the court concentrates entirely on the breakdown of the marriage relationship instead of pointing fingers or playing the blame game. We fight hard for an equitable division of property, making sure the court truly understands the value of complex assets like family farms and local business holdings.
Our team exerts maximum effort to design workable custody and physical care schedules that truly put your kids’ well-being first. We also handle post-decree modifications of existing court orders when incomes change significantly, or a parent needs to relocate. Family law battles in tight-knit rural communities demand absolute discretion, deep familiarity with local court staff, and a total commitment to protecting your family’s future. We give you the steady, reliable perspective you need to make smart, forward-looking choices during tough personal transitions.
Real estate deals in rural areas come with unique challenges, from specific agricultural zoning laws to complex shared easements and deep abstract title clearing. Our Iowa attorneys manage residential, commercial, and farm property transactions, making sure your major investments stay perfectly safe from hidden financial traps. We review purchase contracts, draft clear deeds, thoroughly examine titles, and fix boundary disputes between neighboring landowners.
We also represent buyers and sellers during contract defaults, commercial lease disagreements, and partition lawsuits involving inherited family property. Property problems can completely halt a farm operation or slow down a business expansion, which makes fast legal help crucial. Our team blends technical real estate skills with a practical understanding of local land values to safeguard your investments. We offer reliable legal resources to ensure your real estate transfers glide smoothly through state closing requirements and local county recorder offices.
