I was arrested for a felony and did not know where to get help. My friend told me to call the Wizard. That nickname is not an understatement. Grant asked me all the right questions so I could gather the necessary evidence that I did not commit the crime. He strategically planned the presentation of the evidence and essentially discredited the witness for the prosecution. Case dismissed! He is brilliant and transparent - always provides straight answers. Need a lawyer that fights, hire Grant, the Wizard!

He was always very accessible and responsive when communicating with him. We will use Mark King again for any future legal matters.

Mark went above and beyond to help me with a car accident I was in. He took care of everything from working with the other person's insurance company as well as the rental car place. Mark took care of things I would have never known to do, and made sure I was fairly compensated. Unfortunately a few years later I was in another car accident, where my car was totaled. I of course hired Mark again and he did not disappoint. He again took the burden off of my shoulders and made sure I was well taken care of, being compensated both for my treatment and the loss of my car.

Mark helped us with our will, power of attorney, etc. We were admittedly late in getting these things taken care of primarily because we didn't fully understand what we needed or how to get there. Mark was very easy to work with and provided helpful insight into common legal documentation necessary and useful in the family and estate planning process. Mark met with us on our time and we were able to communicate both verbally and electronically along the way which also made things much easier.

Ron clearly knew the ins and outs of estate work, for which we hired him. He made me and my family feel we were in very capable hands after a most trying event, the loss of a beloved family member. Ron returned e-mails and calls almost immediately, often within a few minutes. He was thorough and detailed in his responses and in our meetings as well. He is capable of very assertive conduct when need be but for us as clients he was polite, friendly, and attentive to our questions and needs while being professional. He made certain I understood what I needed to understand (details when necessary) and that I could clearly see the process of dealing with and then later closing an estate in Iowa. Great staff, too. Fast and prompt. I recommend Ron Anderson and his staff most highly.

It is an Honor to write a review regarding Brandon Mccaull Bohlman, as I was exceedingly pleased with the work which he did on my case. He explained everything very thoroughly; and when anything needed to be discussed, he was quick to get on the phone to contact me. Brandon was also quick to explain pros and cons, and explained everything in a way that I could easily understand. When I needed extra instructions, he would call me to come in to the office, and we would sit down and go over everything I needed to know in great detail. He had a calm personality, which helped to ease my own feelings of my own uncertainty if I was handling everything appropriate! I found his advise to be sound, good, and very up front with reality.

I can't even begin to tell you how much Blake did for my fiance and me as we were fighting medical bills. We were going back and forth with our insurance company and getting nowhere when we gave up and hired Blake. I wish we would have done it sooner! By staying on the insurance companies he was able to get our case escalated to their legal department and resolved within a matter of weeks. But that's not where he stopped. Our insurance company wasn't paying our claim. This resulted in the hospital sending us to collections. Blake then spent over a month working to get the hospital, collection agency and our insurance company to work together to reinstate the claim and pay it in full. Not a dollar out of our pocket. He didn't stop there. We were in the process of buying a home and Blake took the extra step to work with the collection agency and the the credit agency to get the collections removed from our record. He was able to get an insurance company, a hospital, a collection agency AND the credit bureau to all change their stance and help us. Whenever I have a medical situation, the first person I'm calling is going to be Blake. I wish we had reached out to him over a year ago. Couldn't recommend him highly enough! Luke

I am writing to commend Ms. Sydney Ross on her exemplary handling of my recent OWI on a golf cart case in Allamakee County. Ms. Ross was kind, considerate, aggressive, and most of all knowledgeable about the application of law in all four of my charges. Sydney took the time to understand all facets of my case. Her prompt replies to my inquiries assured me I was in capable and expert hands. She was able to access the discovery materials to determine the inaccuracy of the arresting officer’s assumptions. Those materials also included the blood alcohol level way below the legal limit, which was the explanation for the arrest. Her attention to details and ability to ask pertinent questions allowed her to attack the charges and get 3 of the 4 dropped from my file. Sydney’s team of professionals were also expert and well researched in their responses to me. McKayla quickly replied to my questions and if she was unsure, she deferred to Sydney for answers. I would recommend Ms. Sydney Ross to anyone who is struggling with an unjust arrest or charge. Thank you, Sydney! I will gladly put my trust in you again!

Tara is a good lawyer. She is a no nonsense kind of person and that helps. She never promised anything or gave us false expectations. She was honest and direct. This was one of the most stressful situations we ever had to endure but Tara was always understanding without being overly sentimental. She always answered when we called. She always answered our emails. She helped us reach an agreement that we could live with in a very difficult international custody case. She was the only lawyer we consulted with that immediately requested to see evidence to back up our story and this was before we ever paid the firm any money. That really caused me to feel secure when hiring her. I recommend her. As with any lawyer be clear with her about what you want from the beginning.

I was at a loss on how to handle my case and get what I wanted out of it. I now get to see my son every moment that I'm available to. It's all thanks to Ryan Gravett and his team. Shout out Emi and and the rest of SAGW for being on my team in this difficult time.

Keep looking for a better law firm. There are others out there. In the beginning they were great. Attentive. Action planned. Quick response time. It took my lawyer a full year to get my divorce settled. I know each case is different but we did not have a lot to settle on and we had no children. In the end I was the one pushing my ex-husband to comply. He had committed multiple contempt's of court actions. My lawyer explained the judge probably wouldn't side with me. I appreciated her opinion and chose not to take him to court. She still went through and wrote drafts (costing me more $). Once I finally got everything done on my own the law firm in general just stopped communicating. No more emails being answered. No more phone calls being answer or returned. They offered to write me a check when I was done with the business for less than my account had left in it. I wanted the full amount. The only way to get someone to talk to me was to show up at the office. At first I thought it was just my bad luck with a bad lawyer. It wasn't. It was the law firm in general. It may cost more money in the end but keep looking!!

I retained Steven and his team to represent me during my recent divorce proceedings. These cases tend to be drawn out and emotional for all parties involved. Steve did a great job of explaining each step in the process, what to expect, next steps and timelines. Steve will represent you with fervor and determination which is exactly what I was seeking in my attorney. They are patient and fully understand the stress that is caused by these proceedings. If you find yourself in a position of needing to retain a lawyer to assist you with your divorce case, I would wholeheartedly recommend that you speak to Steve and his team.

She has a team within her office that doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you as well to Alice. Ashley is a head strong, well respected woman that will always leave a print on my heart.

I had the pleasure of working with Tollakson recently, and I can confidently say that their team provided exceptional service from start to finish. From my initial consultation to the final resolution of my case, they exhibited professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my needs. The attorneys at this firm are clearly highly skilled in their respective practice areas. My lawyer, Emelia Edwards, was not only knowledgeable about the law but also took the time to explain every step of the process in terms I could understand. They kept me informed throughout the entire process, answered my questions promptly, and provided sound legal advice that I could trust. What stood out to me the most was the firm’s dedication to client satisfaction. I never felt like just another case; they treated me as a valued client and worked tirelessly to achieve the best outcome possible. Their attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond truly set them apart from other firms. The office staff was equally impressive—friendly, professional, and always ready to assist with anything I needed. The firm’s location in Des Moines is convenient, with plenty of parking available. If you’re in need of reliable and professional legal representation in Des Moines, I highly recommend Tollakson. They made what could have been a stressful experience much easier to navigate, and I’m extremely grateful for their support.

So happy I was connected with Travis Burk at Hope Law. He did not let the insurance company bully me around anymore. It was funny. Teenage girl hit me and her insurance told me I would nevee get anything for pain or suffering. I hire Travis, finished physical therapy for neck/back injury from whiplash... Travis made them pay me for pain and suffering. It is sad you have to hire an attorney sometimes to get what you deserve. Totally worth it though. Travis super nice but a bada$$ when it came to fighting for me. Travis was great. -A.J. Waukee, IA

Travis really took care of things for my husband and I. We were in a near fatal car/truck accident in 2014. He was easy to communicate with and always kept us up to date while fighting for our medical bills and pain and suffering damages vs. the at fault insurance company. Also time off of work and travel expenses, loss of income. We just won our asking amount and are pleased to have this behind us so we can move on with our lives knowing we have everything covered from past medical, along with a nice egg to cover future medical bills and time off work if need be later down the line. We got the max we could have gotten from both the other driver as well as our under insured policy. My niece was rear ended (passenger) in January during ice/sleet on 235 and also hired Travis from Hope Law Office. Nice person and people to work with you at this place. He is on Jordan Creek close to the mall. Good guy. Thanks Donna

Travis Burk handled my personal injury claim after another attorney had it for over a year and was not doing anything about it. When I first handed all the paperwork to Travis Burk he took my case and won it. He answered any questions that I had and also explained anything that I did not understand on my case.

I hired Jim August of 2013 after being hit by a motor vehicle on a bike path, while working. He helped ensure I was getting every penny from Work Comp. while I was laid up for almost 3 months recovering. He also took the time to contact me and make sure I was doing okay and to see how things had been going. He expressed interest in my day to day, as well as concern. He also is Very knowledgeable and persistent when we had the mediation and made sure that I got everything I deserved, as well as ensuring that it would not hurt my disability down the road, if I were to have to be on it. I would recommend Mr. Lawyer, as well as his entire firm for anyone dealing with Workman's Compensation and/or Personal Injury. 10/10

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You

A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.

Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.

When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:

  • Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
  • Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
  • Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
  • Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
  • Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
  • Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.

What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?

A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:

  • Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
  • Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
  • Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
  • File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
  • Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
  • Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
  • Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.

How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?

Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:

  • Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
  • Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
  • No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.

Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.

How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:

  • Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
  • Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.

While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.

Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer

Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:

  1. What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award.
  3. How long will my case take?
    While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled.
  4. How often do you take cases to trial?
    Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary.
  5. Will you personally handle my case?
    In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim.
  6. Do you have references from past clients?
    Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.

How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer

To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
  • Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
  • Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
  • Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:

  • Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
  • Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
  • Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
  • Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
  • Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.

By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
