Experienced Iowa Employment Lawyers Fighting for Workers
Have you experienced an unfair situation at work, like discrimination or retaliation for speaking up about wrongdoing? If so, you could be feeling wronged, confused. You know it’s up to you to stand up for your rights, but you’re unsure about your options right now.
You don’t have to deal with this situation alone. Iowa Employment Attorneys, P.L.C., is here to help. Our West Des Moines-based attorneys, David Albrecht and Amy Beck, have each spent more than a decade representing employees in all kinds of workplace matters, from cases involving harassment and discrimination to wrongful termination and wage theft. We understand what you’re going through, and how much your career and well-being have been affected. Our firm knows how to use the law to help make it better for you and your family, and working to restore your dignity and career prospects in the process.
We invite you to talk to David or Amy about what happened. Your first consultation is free. We serve clients in the Des Moines area, Cedar Rapids, Sioux City, and the rest of Iowa.
Wage theft is unfortunately common, and it costs workers billions of dollars every year. If your employer has been skimming your hours, refusing to pay overtime, or misclassifying you to avoid paying what you’re owed, our lawyers can help you demand it back.
Chapter 80F of the Iowa Code gives law enforcement officers specific workplace protections that go beyond what most other employees receive. If your employer has violated that law, our attorneys are here to stand up for you.
Not every employment case calls for full-scale litigation. Sometimes, you just need straightforward answers from an attorney who knows the law inside and out. We offer hourly consultations so you can get the guidance you need, on your terms.
No case is too unique, technical, or complicated for us. We have the resources to help you with whatever type of employment law claim you have.
A lot of law firms say they put their clients first. We’ve built our practice around it.
After more than 20 years of collective experience, we know Iowa employment law inside and out, we know the local courts, and we know how to talk to juries in Des Moines and across the state. We use that knowledge to fight tirelessly for your rights. Your lawyer and you will be a team dedicated to developing a strategy that’s tailored to your situation and values.
Although every case we handle is different, our goal is always the same: to get the most favorable outcome possible for the workers we represent. Our firm puts our experience and knowledge of the law to work for you.
David Albrecht grew up in Indianola and has spent his entire legal career standing up for Iowa workers. Before law school, he completed two terms in AmeriCorps, where he served nonprofits across the Midwest. That experience gave him something no classroom could: a deep understanding of the people he’d go on to represent. David has used that understanding to take more than a dozen cases to jury verdict, argue before the Iowa Supreme Court and the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, and secure multi-million-dollar outcomes for clients across the state.
Amy Beck grew up in Albia, earned her law degree summa cum laude from Drake, and quickly established herself as an accomplished employment attorney. She’s a decorated trial lawyer who has obtained an eight-figure verdict, argued before the Iowa Supreme Court and the Eighth Circuit, and earned recognition from Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers, and the National Trial Lawyers, among others. She’s also a working mom who brings genuine empathy to every case she handles, because she knows that real families and real futures are on the line.
Together, David and Amy represent employees in West Des Moines and across Iowa with the kind of personal attention and courtroom firepower that makes a difference. Both of them chose this work because they believe every worker deserves a fair shot and a strong voice. When you work with Iowa Employment Attorneys, P.L.C., you work with David and Amy directly.
