I suffered a workplace accident a little 5 years ago in Iowa. I was refered to this firm soon after…read moreI started my recovery. From the first conversation with Tim Semelroth and the team of what I can only describe as brilliant attorneys, they went to work on the case and represented me in a way I can only describe as vigorous and ethical. In all the time I was waiting for a chance to to take the case to trial, they never waivered from the task and all the details involved in preparing for it. When the workman's compensation firm started to make life difficult for my family and I, they handled it. When I finally got the chance to appear in court after 5 years, Tim showed his true skill and gave a perfect opening statement and then handled the trial and it's intricacies in a manner that I would never have understood. I would like to also add that Brian Ivers was a fantastic litigator during the trial, Emily Anderson represented my interests to the insurance company, and Andrea Yelden never made me feel as if I was a bother or just a low level client. If you ever need a personal injury attorney to represent you in the state of Iowa, you cannot do any better. Thank you all for everything youve done for me. Your professionalism, expertise and attention to detail changerd my life for the better. I will never forget what you did for us. Thanks to all of you.

I called RSH legal to get initial consultation for personal injury accident. We worked with an…read moreinvestigator on the initial call. We spent an hour with this person and were told we would be called later in the week. No call. Contacted again and they said they would get back to us. We received a rejection letter without any reason of why within a few day. We went from expecting a call and got rejection letter. Very disappointing and would certainly not recommend anyone calling RSH for their services. They were a waste of our time.

I've never had to hire an attorney before, never needed one. But I was afraid. Although I was…read moretelling the truth I wouldn't get my point across, that I wouldn't win my case. Mark Liabo was the husband of a coworker with whom I used to work. I told him what happened at my job, that my "assignment had ended." My employer, TalentBurst Inc., said that I had 'quit' my temporary assignment. If an employer says that you 'quit' YOU have to PROVE that you did not quit. The burden of proof is on the employee NOT the employer. I thought this to be an important tidbit worth mentioning. If you know anything about unemployment you should know that you are not entitled to benefits if you quit your job. I was outraged that after 5 weeks of waiting for information from Iowa Workforce Development they had scheduled a fact finding interview that I missed. Once I discovered that I missed the interview I called the worker back within five minutes. She did not answer the phone; my call went straight to voice mail. I left the worker a message saying that I had not quit. I missed the interview but apparently so did my employer. And 'no' just because the employer didn't show doesn't mean you won. Adversely, 3 days later the IWD worker found that I had 'quit.' I had to appeal the decision. I could have represented myself in court but then I thought, "my employer will have an attorney, is it really wise to represent myself?" I called Iowa Legal Services in the hopes that they could help. I had 3 dealings with that organization and all were not pleasant. The atty. with whom I spoke told me to "stop talking, that I would be further incriminating myself if I continued to talk."' "Hm, I thought, I was telling the truth." Although Iowa Legal Services was free I wasn't comfortable letting them handle something so very important to me. I decided to hire Mark Liabo from Currie & Liabo. We talked twice, each time for about an hour. He was kind, knowledgeable, and straight forward. The night before the hearing, June 11, 2020, Mark 'coached me.' He helped me focus and not just provide information that I 'thought' was relevant. WE WON our case! Granted I should have won my case, I didn't quit. And yet I was not confident that justice would prevail without the help of Mark Liabo. The fee? It was VERY reasonable. In retrospect, if I were to do it over, would I hire an attorney at an unemployment hearing? Absolutely! That was the best money I ever spent!

After being brutally assaulted by a patient at work, I was left dealing with serious physical and…read moreemotional trauma, on top of the stress and confusion of the workers' compensation process. From the very beginning, Rob treated me with compassion, respect, and professionalism. Rob and his team were incredibly knowledgeable about workers' comp law and fought hard on my behalf every step of the way. Communication was clear and consistent, and I always felt informed and supported. Most importantly, they helped me recover a settlement that reflected the severity of what I went through and gave me some peace of mind moving forward. This attorney genuinely cared about my case and my well-being, not just the paperwork. If you've been injured at work and need someone who will advocate for you and take your case seriously, I strongly recommend them.

He treated my case with the kind of care and attention you'd expect from someone fighting for a close friend or family member. He took the time to really listen, not just to the facts, but to my concerns. He went so far beyond what I expected, pouring countless hours into fighting for a very rare and complex case. He won!! I truly believe the outcome wouldn't have been the same without the dedication he put into my case. If you're looking for someone who actually cares and gets things done, Tony is the attorney you want.

The receptionist that I talked to on Monday told me he would get back to me the next day which would be been a Tuesday.

If you don't wanna help people then call them back that way I could've called another lawyer and have them help me. Then you proceeded to call me after I called you to ask what happened and you said you were with current clients. That's great and all but what about people that want to be a a client?
