Testimonial

  • I was a passenger in a car that lost control on the interstate and rolled several times. I was tossed around the inside of the car and injured my neck and my back. My injuries were very painful and required medical treatment. I contacted attorney Erik Bair to help me recover my expenses for my doctor’s appointments. Erik helped me to get my medical bills paid and he helped me recover money for the pain I had to live with because of the accident. Erik always answered my questions and kept me informed on what was going on with my case. I am very pleased with how Erik handled my car accident case and would recommend him to anyone who has been injured. A.J., Des Moines, Iowa
  • We recommend Erik because he was there for us at all times. He never thought any of my many questions were silly and answered them expertly. Linda of Knoxville, Iowa
  • "...Corey worked hard to get me some compensation from the car accident. While my foot will never be the same again, I am glad that I had Corey in my corner." - Duane of Knoxville, Iowa Duane of Knoxville, Iowa
  • Do it! I waited about a month after my accident thinking my injuries would resolve & I could handle the insurance companies myself. My injuries lasted a lot longer than expected. Had I settled on my own early on I would not have gotten the settlement I deserved to get or the full amount of care that was necessary to receive. Michelle of Des Moines
