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.

Fighting For Those Who Are Hurt On The Job
We are proud to serve Iowa’s working men and women. Our firm has always been a strong supporter of labor unions. We stand shoulder to shoulder with union leaders when a worker has been wrongfully terminated or a company has ignored the rules of a contract.
We have fought in boardrooms, courtrooms and on the floor of the Iowa Legislature.
If we assist you with a workers’ comp claim, an employment law issue or a personal injury claim, we will be paid based upon the recovery we obtain for you. In all instances, if we feel we cannot put more money in your pocket at the end of your case, we will tell you as much and recommend alternative steps for you to take.

Our lawyers become personally engaged in every case. We take the time to understand the unique aspects of each client’s situation and provide a full explanation of each client’s options.
