A serious injury can affect medical needs, income, mobility, and a family’s plans for the future. We take time to understand those effects because they inform the evidence we develop and the goals we pursue for each client.
Our practice also handles Social Security Disability claims and criminal defense matters. People seeking representation in these areas receive the same direct communication and individualized attention that guide our work with injured clients.

What to Expect During Your Personal Injury Claim
The process begins with a free consultation, available in person or virtually. We listen to what happened, discuss how the injury has affected you, and learn what you and your family need from the legal process. This conversation gives us the information needed to develop a strategy tailored to your circumstances and goals.
Danny remains personally involved throughout the case, so you won’t have to rely on a rotating group of contacts for basic answers. We provide honest updates about case status so you understand what has happened, what comes next, and which decisions may require your input.
Evidence Gathering & Preservation
Evidence preservation means identifying and securing information before it’s lost, altered, or overwritten. Because some records and physical evidence can disappear quickly, we act promptly to develop each case.
Depending on the circumstances, our investigation may include:
- Interviewing witnesses who saw the incident or its aftermath.
- Obtaining police and accident reports.
- Seeking available surveillance footage and digital data.
- Documenting relevant physical evidence.
We assess the available evidence alongside the client’s account, injuries, and objectives. That preparation shapes a personalized legal strategy instead of a one-size-fits-all response.
Documented Personal Injury Case Results
We’ve handled thousands of cases and recovered more than $100 million for injured clients across Southeast Iowa. Our listed results include a $3 million premises liability settlement and a $2.35 million wrongful death settlement.
Another listed result is a $2 million settlement arising from a collision involving a bicycle and commercial truck. Past results reflect matters handled by our firm, but they don’t determine the value or outcome of another claim. The evidence, injuries, available insurance, disputed issues, and other facts differ in every case.
Contingency fees. We handle personal injury claims on a contingency-fee basis. The attorney fee is collected from a recovery instead of being charged upfront, so clients don’t owe attorney fees unless we recover money for them.
