Outstanding Service

I hired Laura for a worker’s comp case and from day one, she was there explaining the case and was always very caring. Her and her staff were available to answer any questions I had and they kept in contact with me so I knew how the case was progressing. Laura is very knowledgeable and I am extreme...ly satisfied with the service I received. I would recommend her to anyone.

Laura got me a settlement I was very happy with. She also took the time to speak to me in terms I could understand.

Best attorney in Iowa

She cares about her clients. Laura will work hard for you. On many occasions she has contacted me after hours to update me on my case. She goes above and beyond to fight for her clients. I will recommend her to my friends and family in the future.

Workers compensation lawyer | May 20

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Laura and her firm, Gallner & Pattermann, for over a decade. Laura not only is a skillful, brilliant litigator, she cares tremendously about her clients and their outcomes. Laura Pattermann is a lawyer who is personally invested in each one of her cases. Laura's integrity and knowledge of the law is above reproach. Our firm refers many personal injury cases and all of our workers compensation matters to Laura; as we know the clients we refer are going to get top notch, thorough, representation, unlike they would anywhere else. Every client we have ever referred has had nothing but praise for Laura and her staff."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
