Helping Injured Iowans and Their Families
I started my career working for insurance companies and defending people who had injured other Iowans. I couldn’t square my beliefs and feelings about people with the cynicism of the insurance corporations. They just kept trying to come up with new ways to hold on to as much money as they possibly could. I knew that I needed to be helping real people, rather than being a small piece in the insurance machine. I’m much happier now working for everyday Iowans who need the help of a lawyer.
“I talked to a lot of people on the phone who have never talked to a lawyer before. And I want them to walk away from that conversation feeling like this person cared about me, told me the truth, and was very transparent and honest.”
