This was the first time needing an attorney due to a car accident. I asked several questions through email and phone and I always received a detailed response. This case took a long time because the insurance people kept messing around and tried to get out of everything. Patience is the key. Settlement reached without litigation. The settlement was satisfying and it ended up being more than first thought. I believe this is because the law firm kept throwing punches right back. These people tell it how it is. There is no sugar coating here. Facts and nothing but the facts. No tall tales here. I like this approach when my livelihood is on the line.

This is a beast of a lawyer. A workhorse. A closer. You want peace of mind at night? Then go to Peter and his office. Very organized and took on the other side with vigor and tenacity. He knows how to deal with other lawyers and I saw this happen right in front of my eyes. He was fighting for me and my case and man that felt good. Nobody cares about me not even my own family but this lawyer did.

I got into a car accident outside of Mt Pleasant. I was injured pretty badly. I found that Hansen Law Office was just what I needed. Peter Hansen was awesome at answering my questions and keeping me up to date. He would send an email to me about once a week to keep me informed on what was going on with the insurance company. I received a lot more money than I thought and it was great. I would recommend Hansen Law Office to all my friends and family. I will return if I ever need legal help!

I had a car accident on Highway 34 outside of Mt. Pleasant. I was calling around and met with three lawyers. Mr. Hansen seemed to have the most experience and asked a lot more questions than others. During the case he was very informative and told me updates every time I asked. He actually got me a lot more money than I thought and that was awesome! I would recommend Hansen Law Office to anyone around the Burlington, Iowa area.

I have never used an attorney before Mr. Hansen. Needless to say I was a little overwhelmed by the whole process. Mr. Hansen made it very easy by explaining what was happening in my case and what he would be able to do. He was able to get the best results possible in a very short amount of time. He also did not try to overcharge me, which I was worried about. It's nice to have someone you can trust. 10/10
