Firm Overview

Centuries of experience handling simple and complex client needs.

The firm has grown into a comprehensive multidisciplinary practice serving clients throughout Iowa and Nebraska incuding state and federal courts, the Eighth Circuit, and United States Supreme Court. Our hard-working lawyers maintain the same loyal commitment to their clients as in 1861, but employ the latest technology to obtain cost-effective results in today's complex legal matters.

Our firm's practice is focused on personal injury, auto accident injury, and workers compensation.

Our clients are generally located in the western half of Iowa, but we regularly have cases that take our lawyers throughout Iowa and Nebraska. We have many years of experience litigating cases in state and federal courts within the Eighth Circuit. One of our cases has even been argued before the Supreme Court of the United States.

Personal Injury

A catastrophic injury or sudden loss of life in an accident is tragic for anyone to experience. When negotiating for your compensation, you want a figure covering both the short-term and long-term costs, so how can you obtain that? Give us a call.

Our firm and its predecessor partnerships have been representing clients since 1861. In the generations we have represented the victims of personal injuries, we have learned what is needed to secure sufficient compensation for these accidents.

Workers Compensation

A workplace injury not only threatens your health by your income as well. When money is tight because you are recovering from your injuries, you especially need to be sure you are getting the workers’ compensation you deserve for your injuries.

At Stuart Tinley Law Firm LLP, we take the time to provide clients throughout Iowa with the guidance they need to overcome the challenges of their workers’ compensation claims. We know how complex these cases can get, and our goal as your legal representation is to ensure you earn the money you need in as little time as possible.

Auto Accident

While car and truck collisions occur frequently, many injured parties fail to successfully negotiate the process of obtaining satisfactory compensation. Many injured parties become dissatisfied with their experience dealing with insurance. Call us.

What are your firm's strengths and style?

We pride ourselves on keeping our clients informed of the case. In contrast, many other firms have layers of personnel intervening between the client and attorney. You can expect the lawyers at Stuart Tinley to call you back timely, be available for questions, and generally make sure you are informed about the status of your case. An informed lawyer and informed client make the best combination. In that way, we believe it helps to increase the potential compensation for your case.
