Here are some cases that we have successfully resolved.  Remember that each case is different.  Once a case is in the hands of a judge, it is out of our control.  We have had cases in which we were pleasantly surprised by the verdict and others in which we were disappointed.  We do not win every case and sometimes we obtain a verdict which we are not able to collect the money owed from the defendant due to bankruptcy or other reasons.  However, we do believe that significant trial experience and results are factors that people may use to choose one attorney over another.  With these things in mind, here are some of our results which are the total amount received before the deduction of attorney fees and costs:

$675,174 verdict for an Iowa State Patrol Officer who sustained back and brain injuries in a car accident during the pursuit of a fleeing suspect near Des Moines, Iowa.
