Firm History


Crockett Hector (C.H.) Pasley (1876 - 1952) founded the law firm in 1906.  His son, Robert G. (R.G.) Pasley (1915 - 2007) joined his father in the practice, but he soon left for World War II.  Bob returned to the practice after his military service.  Another veteran, W.A. (Bill) Singer, also joined the firm after the war, left for the Korean War, but practiced again with the firm until his retirement.  M.D. (Milt) Seiser practiced with the firm for many years until he was appointed Judge of the Iowa District Court.  Steven A. Holm retired from the firm in 2005.
