Contacted my lawyer immediately. He and his legal assistant Emily were very informative with every step of the process. I received communication and what to expect throughout our time working together. Even better, they helped fight a charge that could have impacted my life. I could not ask for better representation!

We have consulted with Mark King on a few matters including writing up wills for our family and multiple real estate transactions. I truly think that Mark does what is best for his clients and I trust his opinion. He is very knowledgeable and does a great job communicating potential risks and makes recommendations accordingly. 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.

David, and Marica were with me throughout the process. From days after I got injured until the last day of our Mediation. Both would check in often as we reached each new step. I couldn't be more happy with the service they both provided. I was nervous but they eased my mind through it all. David and Marica even made it easy for me on days I could not make it to Des Moines. They'd come to me, or meet me half way. My family has actually used David's services in the past so when I got injured I knew to contact him immediately. David, and Marica 100% believe in getting their clients what is deserved, and treat you like more than just clients.

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.

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

Disappointing & Unprofessional. Avoid!
My "file" is now over 6 months old and no one can give me an update besides a generic email response. The representatives assigned as my "Account Executives" have been changed multiple times without any notification from the company. After trying to get a response for a month I finally get through to someone who tells me both "Acct Execs" are in different depts now and she'll see if she can get my file assigned to someone else!? What?
The entire process has been unprofessional from day 1. At this point I don't even know of they've actually filed any amended returns on my behalf. Avoid this company if you can.

I rate Slater Law with one star and not because they did not take on my case. My case involved the death of my mother. The reason I rate them at one star was because he kept on interrupting me and was rude. When considering that we are dealing with the death of someone's mother, and not even to mention how traumatic her death was and how hard I've been dealing with it, I could not believe that he was this rude on the phone. I have no issues with the fact that he could not take the case. That is life.

What a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Can Do for You
A workers’ compensation lawyer specializes in helping employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their job to receive the benefits they are entitled to under workers' compensation laws. These lawyers represent injured workers in claims for medical benefits, wage replacement, and other compensation related to workplace injuries or illnesses. They also help when claims are denied, benefits are delayed, or disputes arise with the employer or the insurance company.
Whether you've been injured on the job, developed an occupational illness, or are dealing with a denied workers' compensation claim, a workers’ compensation lawyer can help you navigate the claims process and ensure you receive the full benefits you deserve.
When Should I Hire a Workers' Compensation Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a workers' compensation lawyer in several situations, especially when complications arise during the claims process or when your rights as an injured worker are being challenged. Some common reasons to hire a workers' compensation lawyer include:
- Claim denial: If your workers' compensation claim has been denied, a lawyer can help you appeal the decision and represent you in hearings or litigation.
- Inadequate benefits: If the insurance company offers you a settlement that doesn’t cover your medical expenses, lost wages, or other damages, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf for a fair amount.
- Delay in receiving benefits: If your benefits are being delayed, a lawyer can help expedite the process to ensure you receive timely compensation.
- Permanent disability: If your injury leads to permanent disability (partial or total), a lawyer can help you navigate the more complex process of securing long-term benefits.
- Retaliation by employer: If your employer retaliates against you for filing a workers' compensation claim (e.g., by firing or demoting you), a lawyer can protect your rights and pursue legal action.
- Third-party liability: If a third party (e.g., a contractor or equipment manufacturer) was responsible for your injury, a lawyer can help you pursue additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.
- Pre-existing conditions: If your employer or the insurance company claims that your injury is related to a pre-existing condition, a lawyer can help you present evidence showing that the injury was work-related.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can prevent delays, avoid mistakes, and ensure you receive all the benefits you’re entitled to under workers' compensation law.
What Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Do?
A workers' compensation lawyer provides a range of legal services to injured workers, ensuring that they receive the benefits they deserve. Their tasks often include:
- Filing claims: Helping injured workers prepare and file their workers' compensation claims to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
- Appealing denied claims: Representing workers whose claims have been denied and guiding them through the appeals process, including hearings and court appearances.
- Negotiating settlements: Negotiating with insurance companies to secure fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
- Handling disputes: Resolving disputes between the injured worker, the employer, and the insurance company regarding the amount of compensation or the nature of the injury.
- Coordinating medical evidence: Gathering and presenting medical records, expert testimony, and other evidence to support the workers' compensation claim.
- Advocating for benefits: Ensuring that injured workers receive all the benefits they’re entitled to, including temporary or permanent disability benefits, vocational rehabilitation, and medical treatment.
- Filing third-party lawsuits: In cases where a third party is responsible for the injury, a workers' compensation lawyer may also pursue a personal injury lawsuit to recover additional damages.
How Are Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Paid?
Workers' compensation lawyers typically charge a contingency fee, meaning they only get paid if they successfully recover benefits for you. This fee is usually a percentage of the benefits awarded, and the specific percentage is often regulated by state law. Here's how it generally works:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer's fee is typically between 15% and 25% of the total benefits awarded to you. You don’t have to pay any upfront legal fees, and the lawyer’s fee comes out of the settlement or benefit award.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t recover any benefits for you, you generally don’t have to pay for their services.
- State regulations on fees: Many states cap the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge, and some states require the fee to be approved by the workers' compensation board or judge.
Be sure to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a workers' compensation lawyer typically depends on the contingency fee arrangement, meaning the lawyer’s fee will be a percentage of the benefits you receive. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fees: Most workers' compensation lawyers charge between 15% and 25% of the total settlement or benefits awarded. For example, if you receive $50,000 in benefits, the lawyer’s fee would range from $7,500 to $12,500.
- State regulations: Some states limit the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge. In these cases, the fee is usually capped, often at 20% to 25%, depending on state law.
- Additional costs: Some lawyers may charge for out-of-pocket expenses, such as filing fees, medical records retrieval, and expert witness testimony, though these costs are typically deducted from the settlement after the case is won.
You should always ask for a clear explanation of fees and potential additional costs during your consultation so you understand the financial arrangement.
Top Questions to Ask a Workers' Compensation Lawyer
Before hiring a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with workers' compensation cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, especially if your injury is severe or the case involves disputes. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and whether there are any additional costs you need to be aware of. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including the potential challenges and outcomes. -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Find out if the lawyer has experience dealing with cases involving similar injuries or disputes, such as denied claims or permanent disability. -
How long will the process take?
While it’s difficult to predict an exact timeline, the lawyer should be able to provide a general estimate based on their experience with similar cases. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case. Make sure you know who will be working on your claim.
How to Check the Credibility of a Workers' Compensation Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable workers' compensation lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing, with no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for workers' compensation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in workers' compensation law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s expertise and service.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their experience in workers' compensation cases.
- Check for professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the Workers' Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG) or local bar association committees on workers' compensation can indicate the lawyer’s commitment to this area of law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Accident report or incident documentation: Bring any documentation related to your workplace injury or illness, including accident reports or notifications to your employer.
- Medical records: Provide copies of medical records, including treatment notes, doctor’s reports, and any information related to your injury or condition.
- Employer correspondence: Bring any letters, emails, or forms related to your claim from your employer or the workers' compensation insurance company.
- Wage and benefits information: Provide information on your wages, benefits, and any lost income due to the injury.
- List of questions: Prepare questions about your case, the process, costs, and what to expect moving forward.
- Timeline of events: Prepare a timeline of the incident, your injury, and any medical treatment or communication with your employer and the insurance company.
Being well-prepared for your consultation will allow the lawyer to assess your case more effectively and provide you with the best possible legal advice.
