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.

Very satisfied
I found Jake to be quite thorough. He kept track of all my Dr. appointments, contacted me before every appointment and met with me after every appointment, coached me through the deposition, very thorough, and I couldn't be happier with settlement. I'd recommend Jake to anyone who needs his expertise...

Great work
I have never done this before. So, when I decided that I should sue Jake was recommended to me. I found that he did a great job. Very informative and would take time explaining anything I did not understand.
