The search for an attorney does not have to be a lengthy process. With many legal problems, time is of the essence. You need an advocate who has developed cases, conducted trials and negotiated with insurance companies in the past and knows their tactics. If you are going through the pain of physical injury, uncertainty when it comes to your future and stress from dealing with insurers, you need to get the help you need now.

I have lectured before groups of attorneys all over the state of Iowa. The number and scope of topics presented are diverse and include the following.

• Presenting evidence at trail
• Understanding key terms in work comp
• Understanding critical settlement issues for work comp and personal injury
• Handling medication for work compand personal injury
• Proper investigation of claims
• Understanding the role of social security disability in work comp
• Understanding the role of Medicare in injury claims
• Handling expert witnesses and their testimony
• Conducting direct and cross-examination of lay witnesses and expert witnesses
• Alternative medical care proceedings in work comp
• Investigating the correct weekly pay amounts for workers
