Testimonial

  • Erik was honest and explained the entire process in words I could understand. Kelly of Marion County (nurse)
  • Head-on car crash victim Andy thanks Corey for helping with his accident case. - Andy of Booneville
  • Do it! I waited about a month after my accident thinking my injuries would resolve & I could handle the insurance companies myself. My injuries lasted a lot longer than expected. Had I settled on my own early on I would not have gotten the settlement I deserved to get or the full amount of care that was necessary to receive. Michelle of Des Moines
  • Anybody that I hear of that needs a lawyer, I will mention your firm. Erik did a great job for me and my family. Lynn of Carroll, IA
