2011 Morningside graduate and current lawyer, Steven Postolka, returned to campus on Tuesday.

After Postolka graduated from Morningside, he went on to law school and graduated from there in 2014. Steven then went on to work at a private practice company in Spencer, Iowa. With years of experience working in Spencer, Postolka decided it was time to move back to Sioux City where he started to work as a private practice lawyer.

A frequent question asked was the difference between being a small town lawyer and being a lawyer in a bigger city. Postolka stated “It’s less stressful being in Sioux City than Spencer, because I am on a salary so I don’t have to worry about meeting incentives”. As of now, Postolka is content with his job here in Sioux City, however he would not be opposed to moving to Des Moines and working for the state.

Postolka also talked about how his experience at Morningside and how it prepared him for the real world. He gave examples of what he learned like “It’s always the clients case, and never yours”. Relating to many of his cases he worked on where the client always gets the last word.
