At Gilloon, Wright & Hamel, P.C., we believe that negligent parties and their insurance providers must be held fully accountable.

Hire a lawyer with a proven history of trial success and deep experience in local and federal courts.

Iowa Workers' Compensation and Work Injury Advocacy

Filing for workers' compensation after a severe workplace accident can feel like an uphill battle. Iowa work injury laws are designed to secure medical coverage and wage replacement, but many legitimate claims are initially rejected, delayed, or drastically undervalued by corporate insurers. Our attorneys represent injured workers across all industrial sectors in the Tri-State area. We ensure your medical treatments are fully authorized, appeal denied benefits before the Iowa Workers' Compensation Commissioner, and explore potential third-party liability to secure additional compensation. We stand by you from the initial filing through the final settlement or appeal.

Comprehensive Estate Planning, Wills, and Probate

Protecting your life's accomplishments and providing stability for your loved ones requires strategic wealth planning. Attorney E. David Wright provides seasoned counsel in drafting wills, revocable living trusts, irrevocable asset protection trusts, and healthcare directives. We also assist executors and families in navigating the sensitive and formal probate court process in Dubuque County, settling debts, and distributing inheritances smoothly. Additionally, we represent business owners in corporate formations, contract drafting, and business transactions.
