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.
