About Erbe Law Firm
We build teams, not attorney-client relationships
Harley Erbe is the founder of Erbe Law Firm, a small firm that provides personalized attention while delivering large firm results.
Harley has stood side-by-side with our clients since 2005 and faced the largest law firms in Iowa and throughout the nation. We have routinely done so in our car accident, personal injury, insurance law, construction defect, and employment law cases.
Since our founding in 2005, we’ve grown our firm’s reach while maintaining the small firm, personalized attention that we’ve offered from the beginning. We’ve now represented injured people throughout the United States, with total recoveries in excess of $180 million. And, recognizing the need for other small businesses to receive big firm attention without the accompanying cost of big firm representation, we’ve expanded our services to small businesses, some of which have grown to a national scope too alongside us.
We don’t view the people we work with as simply clients. We value them as teammates, partners, friends.
When you work with us you’ll become part of a team dedicated to advancing your cause, and not just part of a sterile attorney-client relationship. When people invite us to stand with them, we in turn invite them to collaborate with us in all aspects of their fight because we never forget who we’re fighting for and why we’re fighting.
Communication is a primary component of our partnerships and teamwork with our clients. We’ll keep you informed about your case, let you know what’s coming next, and ask for your input regarding future moves. We promptly respond to emails and telephone calls. If you’re thinking about your case, then so are your teammates at our firm.
When you work with Harley, you work directly with him - never handed off to non-lawyer staff. He personally responds to all potential client contacts, and remains highly accessible and responsive through your case.
Trial Expertise
Knowledgeable in the law. Skilled in the courtroom.
It takes courage to stand before a jury and argue for a client.
It also requires hard work and skill to prepare for and properly conduct a jury trial. As a dedicated advocate, Harley prioritizes your best interests, whether that be a settlement or going to trial if necessary. Harley won’t simply push you for a quick settlement - he has the experience and capability to handle your case from start to finish, and should things go to trial, you won’t need a new attorney for litigation.
Harley’s membership in numerous trial lawyer organizations, including the Iowa Academy of Trial Lawyers, the American Board of Trial Advocates, and the Litigation Counsel of America, demonstrates his courage, work ethic, skill, and experience in presenting cases to juries. We don’t just dabble in any legal matters that come our way. Although we have expertise in other areas of law, we have focused our skill and learning on car accident, personal injury, employment law, construction defect, and insurance law cases.
We chose to be specialists, not generalists, to ensure that we’re ready for select types of cases when we’re called to duty.
As you can see from our blog, we stay current on applicable court decisions from Iowa and throughout the nation. We do that to educate not only ourselves on the most current state of the law but also visitors to our site who may be seeking more specific information about a particular legal topic.
