A: Since you already have an attorney, I suggest that you schedule a mutually convenient appointment with him / her (rather than randomly calling on the phone) to fully discuss all of the concerns you have with your claim. This will allow both you and your attorney to be prepared to have a meaningful discussion. If you are not satisfied after having the discussion, I suggest that you contact an attorney in the Drs Moines area to discuss your situation.
