Did you know you have the right to a speedy indictment? In Iowa, when an adult is arrested for the commission of a public offense and an indictment is not found within 45 days of arrest and initial appearance, the Court must order the prosecution to be dismissed, unless the County Attorney can show good cause.

Have you been injured in a car wreck? Have you been injured on the job? Have you been the victim of a slip and fall? Have you or a family member been hurt due to the negligence of someone else? You may be entitled to compensation for your damages. The attorneys at Ellis Law Offices, P.C. have secured millions of dollars for injured clients.
Incapacity planning is pretty self-explanatory. It is planning for the unforeseen medical issues that may arise rendering you incapable of paying your bills, making medical decisions, and making decisions regarding life-sustaining measures, among many other issues that may come up. Frequently, we have potential clients call into the office telling us they need a power of attorney for one of their parents.

As we have seen, to receive compensation under Iowa Code chapter 85, an injury must "occur in the course of employment, " and an injury that occurs while commuting to or from work does not qualify in general. However, there are many exceptions to the "going and coming" rule against compensation.
Employer-provided transport-If the employer supplies the vehicle used for transportation to and from the work, and requires the employee to use it, then the Commissioner usually doesn't apply the going & coming rule, but considers the commute to be within the course of employment.

I had a legal concern, after making contact with Ellis law Firm, they listen to my inquiry, even though the legal matter was on my be half a situation that the firm could assist in the matter.
The effort that the staff provided would highly recommend the firm, call Ellis Law firm to see if you agree with my experience.

I was lucky enough to find James at Ellis Law Offices during a very difficult and transitional time for my family. James and his team were knowledgeable, prompt with responses, professional and efficient with their time. The care and thoughtfulness they put into the process helped make the experience much more manageable and without undo stress.
I would recommend James and the team at Ellis Law Offices to anyone I know.

Called around to several attorneys in central Iowa to handle an issue of libel against me. None were interested, probably because there wasn't a lot of money in it, until James Rowe at Ellis Law said he would take it on to send a message to certain people and companies that they needed to be responsible for the lies they tell about others.
James and Ellis Law were very responsive to my needs and very professional in obtaining an apology and retraction from those who wrote the untruthful statements made about me. Everyone I corresponded with or talked to at Ellis provided the finest service and

Incredible service, very knowledgeable staff and lawyers! Ryan, and those in his firm, went above and beyond to make sure that any anxieties I had were addressed. My questions were answered thoroughly and in a timely manner. Even though I live in West Des Moines, Ryan and his team made the process of handling my case effortless. When you're in a stressful situation and in need of legal assistance I can't think of anyone I would want helping me more!

I hired him to help me with my situation in 2017. It is now 2019 and I am still dealing with the ramifications of his work.
Communication is not one of his strong suits. He will email you vague, if not incorrect information. I also, am up in the air about my current situation. It seems what he lead me to believe is not true. The vague communication could be the reason for this, but I am not sure. He returned the remaining amount of money, but the situation does not seem to be handled properly. What frustrates me the most is you put your trust, money and future into a

Both Ryan and Nick have represented myself. Ryan's representation for a worker's compensation case. Nick's representation for a simple misdemeanor case. Both cases were handled professionally, attention to details/facts, and explained throughout entirety of cases. Highly recommend them both for representing you for any legal advice or issues! Thanks to everyone at Ellis Law Office, P.C.

Nick got me a 15 year sentence suspended I do two to three years on probation and then done and this is while I was on parole from another state. Be honest with this man and he will fight with all his ability for you. Very pleased and thankful for what he has done for me intelligent man. He set up a game plan and I followed it and got out of doing a lot of lock up time. Gracias Nick...✌
