About Jacob
Biography
I was born March 14, 1960 in Council Bluffs and am a fourth generation member of the Peters Law Firm in Council Bluffs. I began working full time for the firm in 1983 as a law clerk, joined as an associate in 1985, joined the firm as a partner in 1990 and have worked here continuously ever since. My practice is currently confined primarily to Iowa Workers' Compensation Claims on behalf of the Claimant, but I also handle claimant's cases in Nebraska. I also handle personal injury and automobile litigation. I am a member of the Iowa Academy of Trial Lawyers, the Iowa Association for Justice and I have been active in civic and community affairs including serving on the Westfair board for 17 years from 1988 to 2005. I am currently active in the Pottawattamie County Pheasants Forever Chapter and other civic organizations.

Workers Comp Review
I would highly recommend Jake Peter's as a lawyer if you ever have a workers comp issue. He actually cares about you as a person and will do what it takes to help make everything go smooth. He was awesome to work with and took care of all the issues that I had.

Review
I would recommend Jake to any friend or family member ever having to deal with a car accident case. He always kept in touch with me to let me know what was going on and I greatly appreciated that. He did a wonderful job and I’m very satisfied with the outcome of my case.

Excellent Attorney .... Awesome Results .... Work Comp Case
From day one, Jake was up front and honest with me about my case. He answers his emails within hours and gives out both his desk and cell phone number. He fights hard and doesn’t take no for an answer. It was a tough case, but he got the job done, exceeded expectations and walked away with a WIN!
