Legal Services

The Hamilton Law Firm handles cases all over Iowa, Nebraska and Arizona. If you or a family member has been injured, we would be happy to speak with you.

We will confer with any client initially at no charge. If you have a serious disability and cannot travel, we can fly our Firm aircraft to meet you. If you have a claim we can pursue, we generally charge a percentage. If your claim is unsuccessful, we make no charge. We also customarily advance and pay costs of depositions, medical records retrieval, expert witnesses and other associated costs.

The following list describes the Firm's major areas of practice.

Litigation and Appeals -- We represent and advise clients who are or might become involved in a lawsuit or appeal as a result of a dispute, including prevention and settlement, in such areas as personal injury, contract disputes, family law, and commercial matters.

In addition to the recognized skills of our attorneys at trial, we possess equal proficiency in state and federal appellate court proceedings. We handle appeals with the same teamwork applied to our trial practice. Because every matter handled at the trial level may be appealed, our team provides litigation support and legal analysis on procedural and substantive issues that may arise during the course of representation. In the increasingly volatile world of litigation, our attorneys closely follow current developments in the law and evaluate the effects of those changes for our clients.

Personal Injury -- Our firm represents individuals involved in controversies alleging a wrong or damage to another's person, rights, reputation, or property resulting from events or activities such as automobile accidents, defective products, infliction of emotional distress, intentional misconduct, and negligence. We handle all kinds of work injuries including but not limited to neck, back and shoulder injuries, as well as exposures to various toxic substances. We also assist in securing appropriate medical care.

Victims of personal injury are entitled to financial compensation for past and present pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, disability, medical and property expenses, incidental costs caused by the accident, and may be entitled to additional damages to cover future expenses or other issues.

Social Security Disability -- If you or a loved one is disabled as the result of injury or illness, you may be eligible for Social Security income payments. The Social Security system is complicated, and a qualified attorney can help guide you through the system to get the benefits you need.

Civil Rights -- Our firm practices in the area of Civil Rights which involve fundamental issues of human rights and freedoms. The lawyers in this area represent clients who believe that they have been the victims of police misconduct, sexual harassment, and discrimination-age, disability and illness, national origin, sex, race, and religion-in employment, public accommodation, education, housing, or voting under federal or state law.

Employment & Labor Law -- Employment law covers a complex network of laws that controls how employers must treat employees, former employees, and applicants for employment. We assist clients in developing employment policies, labor agreements, and complex severance agreements. We represent employers and employees in wage claims, disability, and race, sex, and age discrimination, including class actions.
