My name is Erik I have been helping Iowans protect their rights since graduating from Drake Law School in 2001. I practice primarily in workers' compensation helping injured workers and in personal injury law (car, truck and motorcycle accidents, dog bites, etc.).
I grew up in Des Moines and graduated from East High School. I worked my way through college while attending undergraduate at Iowa State, working for the city as a laborer and evenings for a hospital. After Iowa State I went to law school at Drake where I graduated with Honors. I am dedicated to helping Injured Iowans and with personal attention and hard work.

Work comp
Very much appreciated the work Erik did for me and the final settlement. The time he spent with me was invaluable.
"Erik is committed to providing his clients with the best representation possible. He is diligent in working to obtain results that help his clients move on from the difficulties that arise from their injuries."
"I endorse this lawyer. Erik truly cares about his client. Erik is always professional. He fights for his clients and gets great results. Before I started working with Erik, I knew he had a good reputation in the legal community. Since I have been working with him, he has proven that reputation to be true. He is a great attorney and I am lucky to work with him. I see someone who truly cares about his clients therefore, he gets good results."
"Erik Bair is a very knowledgeable, diligent attorney. He has a great deal of experience in personal injury matters and is incredibly thorough in his preparation of cases. On the rare occasion Erik does not know an answer to a question, he does not guess. Erik puts in the time and effort to properly research each issue in order to maximize his clients' recovery."
"Erik is an attorney who used to do manual labor himself in high school and in college. Having grown-up on the east side of Des Moines, he knows what a hard day of work is all about. Because of his background, he goes the extra mile to help injured workers in their time of need. I have personally observed Erik's work ethic and know that he truly cares for and respects his clients. He returns phone calls promptly and does whatever he can to help his clients."
