Our Areas of Practice
Our law firm provides comprehensive, effective representation in the following areas of law:
- Workers' compensation: If you were injured on the job, we can help you obtain all the medical and wage benefits that your employer is required to provide. We will see to it that you receive proper medical care for your workplace injury, including injuries suffered on construction sites. Our Iowa workers' compensation attorney, Sheldon M. Gallner, has a long history of successfully representing injured workers, including those suffering from psychological injuries.
- Social Security disability: If you have become disabled and are unable to work for 12 months or longer, we can help you receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. We can help with your initial application or a reconsideration or appeal of a denied claim.
- Personal injury: If you were injured through no fault of your own, our Council Bluffs personal injury attorneys can pursue financial compensation for your pain and suffering, medical expenses and other damages. Call our firm if you have been injured in an auto accident, hurt in a construction accident, harmed by a slip-and-fall accident or injured by any other form of negligence. We can also review your workers' compensation case to determine whether you may be eligible to file a third-party claim for additional compensation. If you lost a loved one in an accident, we can help you pursue a wrongful death claim.
- Family law: When you need a lawyer who truly wants to understand your family and your needs, call our firm. We can help you with divorce, child custody, child support, property division and many other issues. We also help clients add to their families through adoption.
