Excellent Work Comp Lawyer
Jake was very knowledgeable and dedicated in helping me to recover lost wages and payment of medical bills. His expertise in the Social Security Disability and Medicare set-aside accounts also helped me obtain future medical expenses. I know I wouldn’t have gotten the settlement I did, without Jak...

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. When we set up a meeti...
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

Injured on the job.
After a severe injury on the job I started running the maze of WC adjusters and Doctors. I had the gullibility to believe that the WC adjuster was fair and straightforward. I was wrong. One surgery later and three months off work later I finally contacted Jake. I never really trusted insurance compan...
