Ryan Beattie was worthless in every aspect of my injury/ workcomp/ wrongful termination/ unemployment denial/ and Iowa's 2nd injury fund. From filing inaccurate paperwork on the last day allowed and having that part of the case thrown out, to allowing the opposing attorney to basically accept blame for my injuries and losses by agreeing to pay all… medical bills as Ryan and the mediator told my wife and I that by agreeing and showing good faith then the next part would go smoothly, only to find out he conned me into signing a full release so I legally had no case anymore, to sitting in court

Competent without being impersonal. I know Don and Nile best. Ask for either of them if you need a job done right.

Folks do not go to this lawyer. Very rude, and just plain out of touch with reality. Stay clear for fear of judgment.

Beattie Law Firm is by far the BEST in Des Moines. I had a work comp. case and Nile Hicks (my attorney) was able to help get me top dollar for my injury's.

Don and Nile were very professional but approachable. They educated us about the case and trial process. They kept us informed throughout the process and made us feel like we were working together as a team. We were impressed by their knowledge throughout the trial process because they knew statistics and pertinent numbers without referring to their paperwork. Integrity and truth are important to Beattie Law Firm. They were also well respected by opposing attorneys and the judge. We have recommended them to a friend and would recommend them to anyone in need of legal advice or representation.

I never dreamed that I would ever need the services of a trial attorney until my family and I lost 7 members in an LP gas explosion on September 6, 1999 in Richland, Iowa. With 7 members killed and 6 critically and severely injured, Don Beattie and the Beattie Law Firm helped our family rebuild and put our lives back together. What started out as a business relationship developed into a friendship. I pray that I never need a trial attorney ever again, but if I do, Don Beattie will be the first call I make.

In January of 2009, my husband suffered a work related accident. When it became clear we would need assistance with dealing with work comp and other entities, I contacted Beattie Law Firm. They were great right from the start. They assured us that they would be right by our side throughout the process. Their first concern was that we take care of ourselves and to leave the paperwork and all that was involved to them. That was a big relief. We could concentrate on my husband’s healing and rehabilitation. They even came to our house to meet with us, which was a good hour away. Any and all concerns
