Since its beginning, the firm has continually focused on trial practice and workers’ compensation. We have and continue to represent large national corporations along with local businesses, insurance companies, and individuals. The firm’s lawyers have experience appearing before small claims courts, trial courts, the Iowa Workers’ Compensation Commissioner, the Iowa Court of Appeals, the Iowa Supreme Court, and the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.
