Attorney Review
Jake Peters of the Peters Law Firm helped me with my father's accident insurance claim. There is no way my father or I could have dealt with the insurance companies and Medicare on our own. Jake took over and handled everything for us and was very responsive to our questions and inquiries throughout ...

Highly recommend Jake
I had heard from a few of Jake's clients how well of an attorney he is and they were 100% correct. From start to finish Jake was there for me and would answer any question I had very quickly, if I had an issue he dealt with it right away. I will be referring Jake to everyone that needs an attorney.

Don't ask too many questions! Unprofessional
I went to Jake Peters for help with my workers compensation case, and he seemed nice at first (when you're thinking of hiring) but after I hired him he didn't keep in touch with me about my case and didn't call set up meetings after about 2 months I called to set up a meeting.

I've never responded to a review so this is a first for me. I just want everyone to understand that this is an Iowa workers' compensation case I investigated and turned down. He didn't have a case and I told him so and gave him back his file and charged him nothing. Apparently that made him mad and he left this nasty note for the world to see. I'm too honest perhaps. If I can't win your case ( which is what every client expects ) or get you the outcome that you think you deserve, I'm going to look you in the eye and tell you so. That's what I did here. No regrets. Jake

I would recommend him to anyone I knew
Jake Peters handled my case better than I ever could have imagined. He always made sure i was in control, by keeping me well informed and making sure i made all final decision regarding my case and compensation. He was very honest, went the extra mile, and made sure I knew I had someone on my side. I...

Highly Recommend
I got hurt at work in 2013. Jake took on my case and helped me with the whole process. He made sure that i was seeing the doctors I needed to. When I was healed he helped me during the court process. Jake answered all calls as promptly as he could. Jake was as honest as he could be. It was also ...
