Accident Claims, Workers' Compensation and Civil Practice in the Quad Cities
An essential principle of practice at the law firm of Earl A. Payson, P.C., is the idea that clients are entitled to understand the legal processes that apply to their cases. We, therefore, commit the time necessary to help people understand:
- The principles of law that will determine the outcome,
- The evidentiary considerations that will apply to the investigation and discovery of facts,
- The presentation of those facts in court, and
- The strategic and tactical thinking that informs our work and our legal advice.
Sound Advice and Skilled Advocacy in a Close Attorney-Client Relationship
We believe in establishing close working relationships with our clients across the range of our practice, which includes: personal injury, medical malpractice, workers' compensation, employment law and other civil matters. That way, you will come to understand why we do what we do, and we will understand how our efforts advance your unique objectives. We focus on helping you develop the confidence you will need when you must make crucial decisions about filing a lawsuit, accepting a settlement offer or proceeding with your case to trial.
Earl Payson is a Fellow of the Iowa Academy of Trial Lawyers, an organization with a limited membership selected by invitation only and approved by the unanimous consent of its Board of Governors. This demonstrates his reputation for excellence in court, which he developed over a legal career of more than 30 years. Rather than committing your case to trial unnecessarily, however, Mr. Payson is more interested in finding prompt, complete and effective legal solutions whenever a case can be resolved favorably without the need to go to court.
Our law firm works to provide first-class legal representation on affordable terms. In our personal injury and workers' compensation practice, we take cases on a contingent fee basis, which means that our attorney's fee is collected as a percentage of the settlement, judicial determination or jury verdict, exclusive of any costs or expenses we may have advanced.
Flexible Fee Arrangements With a Focus on Cost-Effective Service
In employment, civil rights and business litigation, our firm may accept the engagement either on a contingent fee basis or at an hourly rate that we will discuss in the initial consultation. We spell out fee arrangements clearly at the outset of each case, and we are always available to answer questions about billing or expenses.
