We Are Workers’ Lawyers.
We Are Workers’ Lawyers.
When workers give their best effort to their employers, they deserve similar allegiance in return.
Unfortunately, employers do not always reciprocate.
The experienced legal team at Hedberg & Boulton, P.C., in Des Moines, advocates for Iowa workers who have been injured on the job or who are victims of employment law infractions such as discrimination, harassment or wrongful termination.
Our attorneys have earned a stellar reputation as being one of Iowa’s fiercest defenders of workers’ rights. We have successfully resolved thousands of cases involving workers’ compensation, employment law and labor law.

We do not represent corporations, nor are we intimidated by the deep-pocketed legal teams that many large companies field.
We help men and women who have become disabled at work, as well as those whose disability is not work-related but who are seeking Social Security Disability benefits.
In addition, we take cases for individuals who received an injury and we help individuals at all stages of life protect their assets and plan for the future with wills, trusts, durable powers of attorney and other estate planning tools.
