I hired Hanna And Rudd in March,2016.That being said,I received the Email on the seal,yesterday.As for my License, I have been driving with a License, Cleared from Illinois since Nov.2017. Yes,it did take longer than I would have liked it to,I had to take into consideration all of the people they as a Law firm had to talk to, to try to figure out how to do this right,since I live out of State.Such as Evaluations and A Out Of State Packet.Got A Evaluation in my State and it was not cheep,and sent it in and Hanna,since that was what they told me to do.Hanna told me it wasnt good enough,The state would deny me and found a awesome guy to do this for me in Illinois.He Knew the Laws,is great at what he does and was a pleasure to meet.Hannah and Rudd did for me what they said they would do and what I have hired other Lawyers, who only took some of my money,and did nothing for me since 1991.This has been a long road for me, and I am so glad that that road is at a new beginning.Chris is awesome,was always there to answer my questions,and call me back,or email me with a answer.Thank You So Much,Hanna&Chris.

Steve did an amazing job and his staff was with us every step of the way and helped explain the process to us so their were no suprises.

My elderly father was beside himself related to difficulties around an accident in which he was involved. Steve Hanna was recommended to represent my father. His fee was VERY fair, the results were exactly what we had hoped. Everything was handled very efficiently and with kindness. And we are very grateful.

Dennis was helpful and professional in helping me choose an attorney for my personal injury case. I would recommend this law firm to anyone in Iowa or Illinois in need of a lawyer after suffering an injury.

11 May, 2018 by Jeff

Dennis and his staff were amazing. They were so attentive and understanding. They got me a good amount of money for my injury. I am very happy I went to them.

Dennis and his team went to bat for my family and I when we needed it the most. Anyone who needs legal help for a personal injury cases should call VanDerGinst Law

Mr. Zimmerle was very professional throughout my whole case. He always was looking out for my best interest. I am very satisfied with the results we got from my case. I would recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Zimmerle and his staff were great to work with. They were very professional and helpful to me and my husband. Mr. Zimmerle provided timely updates in our case and gave us great advice. I would definitely choose him again with further business.

21 Feb, 2019 by Todd

Howard and the all the staff at Warner and Zimmerle made a concerted effort to ease our family through a long and difficult legal process. Their professionalism and caring had a profound effect on how we made it through the a difficult and at times painful deposition with opposing council. They made sure we understood the complexities of the task we were undertaking. They went out of their way to make sure our many questions were answered and our concerns were addressed along the way. We were very pleased with the outcome of the issue and very happy with the Howard’s efforts throughout.

I’m not from the area, but I was traveling across Interstate 80 in 2014, on my way to the West Coast, when I caught my first and only DUI, in Henry County Illinois.(BEWARE of Prosecutor Elvira) I’ve never experienced a more miserable and depressing time in my life than dealing with the court system there. 4 years from start to finish. Too much to go into detail as I’m not reviewing Henry County, but it’s important to understand how bad the situation was. Initially I hired an attorney and he failed me miserably. I was stuck with a felony offense and faced the wrath of Henry County’s prosecutor that literally wanted me crucified. I must of paid around $15k for everything. I got into a little trouble at home and Henry County was seeking to revoke my probation after I had nearly completed 2.5 years of it. I contacted Mr. Hanna as a last effort to save my life before it all came crashing down. Needless to say I was worried about the outcome. Mr. Hanna made no promises, but on the day of court what potentially could of been a disaster turned into a best case scenario. After 4 very long years I was released from the strangle hold of Henry County. If you have a DUI, don’t waste time or money on cheap solicitors. Hire Mr. Hanna and you’ll be grateful that you did! You’re going to wish you had him in your corner!

Contacted the law office concerning a ticket for my son - we live out of town. The admin support personnel knew exactly what to do. In speaking with the attorney, they knew exactly what to do. The case was taken to the judge the next day. The ticket was changed from a conviction on his record to supervision. The office staff and the attorney was exceptionally professional and courteous. I would not hesitate to contact again if needed.

I was charged with a DUI in Rock Island. I hired Jon Ruud and he was a great attorney. He showed me the video, told me exactly where to get an evaluation, and communicated with me throughout the process. I like the way he involved me in the decision-making and clearly explained the best options to me. Ultimately, I was found not guilty and I attribute most of that to his skills in the courtroom. He left no options out and was an excellent negotiator and litigator. I would recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Larson is a true professional in the field. He is extremely knowledgeable, knows the ins and outs of the legal arena, and was always ready and prepared to when needed. Far more importantly, he is also a compassionate person, who allows for human emotions and responds with empathy and concern. When I missed an extremely important date through my own error, my gut reaction was panic and near hysteria. He was calm, reassuring, and took the necessary steps to rectify the situation, and was never critical or placed blame. I would hire Mr. Larson again without hesitation.

06 Jun, 2023 by Sarah

Hired Mr. Larson for help with a variety of assistance over the years and have consulted him on other questions. He is clear, succinct, respectful and lays out options. Mr. Larson is smart, witty and practical. He will also give you his opinion if asked. I love his 'here's the deal' attitude. He won't promise outcomes but will steer you on the best course. Would definitely recommend him.

03 Jun, 2023 by John

You never know what you're gonna get with a lawyer but I can tell you in advance that Andrew Larson was professional, timely and communicated well throughout my legal issues.

28 Jul, 2023 by Aaron edmark

Looking for some advice with my recent job and if anything can be done. John told me it would be viewed as insubordination. There was no insubordination I did my job I wasn't happy with my employer not doing their job. The whole tone of the email just rubbed me the wrong way... I suggest looking elsewhere.

I’ve known Jeff Neppl for years. Use him as the mine in my wife’s attorney very knowledgeable. Very prompt to help. If you don’t understand he will sit and explain it to you. He will keep you informed on what he’s doing at all times and used his father for my attorney in the past. and I would recommend Jeff to anyone for attorney.

Hired Mr Breedlove to represent me in a divorce. He got what I asked of him done at a very reasonable cost. I recommend him to anyone that asks me about an attorney.

24 Feb, 2021 by Jordan

Not only is he a higher-charging attorney in the area, he created a special, extra-high rate for my case because it was going to require some nights and weekends, according to him. Not good value. He literally took months to respond to some emails and phone call attempts. It's hard to believe an attorney is legally allowed to be this unresponsive. By doing absolutely nothing, he wasted an entire year of my daughter's life as she is bounced around between baby sitters not seeing her father, me. He did not put forth one iota of effort in my fight to get more time with my daughter. Here's the worst part: he waited until right before the trial to withdraw. Again, it's hard to believe an attorney is legally allowed to do this, to sabotage his own client's case so badly. If you are a father in a tough divorce case, avoid William Breedlove.

23 Jun, 2020 by Anonymous

Mr. Breedlove fought expertly and diligently to get the best result for both me and the class I represented in the case. We ended up reaching a very agreeable settlement and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Unethical, uses excuses. Refuses to represent or help. As I said they use excuses. They represent a person and after they win a case. They continue to represent that said person. Without fairness, or justice. The founding fathers would be ashamed of the mockery you have made of a system.

What an awful experience. My teenage son was assaulted by his father and Prairie State agreed to represent me (us) in a modification of visitation. My son was very traumatized by what had happened and felt traumatized again after this. Not ONCE, not EVER, did the attorney agree to meet us in person. It would take many days, or sometimes a week or longer, to even get a return call. Court date after court date the attorney NEVER, NOT ONCE, showed up in court! This went on for MONTHS. The Prairie State attorney would just “ counsel” me over the phone as to what to say or do…..and that is IF I was lucky enough to even get a call back. The attorneys “ counseling “ advise was pretty much useless, as my ex’s attorney was there and would frequently object to me speaking because I wasn’t phrasing something correctly. Even the judge asked me where our representation was at and why was she not there. Thank goodness that the advocates were there to at least give my son and I some emotional support and could try to make recommendations after each court appearance. I would say easily that half of the time we would show up to court to find out the other attorney had requested to change the court date…. I was never notified as apparently they were contacting Prairie State as they were the ones who were supposedly representing us. Finally, after MONTHS, of court dates, a modified order was ordered by the judge. HIS attorney agreed to write up the new order since MY attorney was never present in court. Prairie State mailed me a copy of the “modified “ order HIS attorney mailed them…..it included things the judge ordered changed, BUT also other changes NOT ordered by the judge ( things like he won’t be responsible for carrying health insurance on our son any longer, things like that). I called Prairie State right away after getting the modified order and requested a call regarding and explained what the issue was. After a good week or so, the Prairie State attorney called me wanting to know what the problem was. I explained to her IF she would check court records for what the judge ordered against the original order, she would see that his attorney was making other changes not ordered by the judge or approved by me. I never heard from the Prairie State attorney again nor did she return any of my calls after that. Then the Prairie State attorney, after about 2 months, sends me a letter stating that she is considering the case closed for lack of communication with her… what a complete joke! This was by far one the most horrible things that my son or I have ever had to go through … for an attor I’m sure if I had money like my ex and could of afforded to pay money for representation, this experience would of been at least a little less traumatic. Shame on them!

As a fellow trial lawyer, Tom Cady is my "GO-TO" resource for Workers Compensation in the Quad Cities. He is ethical, hard-working and bright. I give him my highest recommendation.

T. Cady took my work comp case, and in my eyes, he botched the hell out of it. He would not follow up on a contemp of court against the company I worked for for not releasing my employee file, would not go toe to toe with the insurance company on anything (he let them dictate the pace and outcome of everything). It was honestly like he was working for the insurance company, not me. He told me we were going to take the minimum award offer from the insurance company because he didn't want the "hassle of taking it to trial", and if I didn't like it I could find a new lawyer AFTER I PAID HIM! He promised the moon when i hired him, and once the paperwork was signed, he ignored me, wouldn't return calls for weeks, and when he did, I would get lawereese gobblity-gook, that upon translation was nothing. I got all of the medical paperwork, therapy reports, doctors notes, etc.. and he still took funds from my settlement for supposed reports and notes that were not done. (Upon completion of my case I requested and recieved a complete copy of all paperwork associated to my case, the only reports or paperwork in that file were ones that I got, and delivered to them). I wont go so far as to call Mr Cady incompetent, lazy, or a shill for the insurance company, but it sure felt that way on my end. I would definately NOT recomend him as a work comp lawyer to any friends or family.

Tom is the typical run of the mill personal injury/worker's comp attorney. he did not respond to emails or phone calls in a timely manner. And from my point of view took my case on volume; he knew he would make money if he waited my insurance company out. I would get the downloadable book from iowainjured.com and ask the questions they suggest... I did not and got the bare minimum for my case. He settles early; he does not take to trial.
