About

I grew up in rural eastern Iowa where I learned the value of an honest day’s labor at my family’s farm and photography businesses.  It’s these Iowa values that drove me to become an attorney and represent hardworking Iowans who are injured on the job or by some else’s negligence.  Taking a no-nonsense approach, I fight to make sure my clients are treated fairly for the harms and losses they suffer on account of another's carless behavior.  I don’t spin the truth or grandstand, instead I simply give the jury the facts and trust in them to do what is right by their conscience and for their community. After working my way through college at the University of Iowa, I attended Creighton University School of Law.  There, I earned a CALI Excellence for the Future award in Alternative Dispute Resolution by demonstrating my skills in negotiation, mediation, and arbitration.  Over the eight years I was employed before becoming an attorney, I worked a variety of retail, customer service, and supply-chaining positions.  These experiences give me insight into the unique problems faced by injured workers, and allow me to better represent my clients.  As a lifelong motorcyclist, I’ve spent many years riding the trails and back roads of rural Iowa. Growing up, one of my favorite places to ride was 600 acres in Ely.  When I'm not working to make our state a safer place, I enjoy working on my project car, riding, and spending time with my family.

He did a perfect job, looked out for me and made sure I got his best, down to earth.

I was in a severe motor vehicle accident. Initially I was working with a family attorney to recover damages, and due to conflicting views I needed to find new representation. Than I found Tony! I felt we were more on the same page about how I wanted my case to continue. I had been through a lot physically with multiple broken bones and life lasting damages. I didn't want to settle for just a low offer because my damages were substantial but I also wanted a resolution so I could move forward with my life. When I met Tony I told him this and he genuinely seemed to care and understood my position of how I had been through a lot and just wanted a fair deal so I could move forward with my life. Within days/weeks of signing up with Tony Olson I was getting the communication and updates I wanted. I felt that my case was being push to the top of the defense teams pile. After a few months went by I'm glad to say both sides were able to come to an agreement. It was more than fair and even more than I could have asked for! If your looking for an attorney I would highly recommend Tony Olson. Personally I just felt better that somebody listened to my input! Thanks Tony!

Great guy to work with. Case was settled fast and went very well. Amazed at the process and was very happy with the outcome, strongly recommend him.

Anthony was great from the start. He explained everything clearly, if I didnt understand he would put it in to words that I did understand. Always stayed in touch, if nothing was happening he would still call to make sure I knew he was still there. Never pushy, always very understanding even when I made a few mistakes. Always gave his opinion and thoughts but never told me I had to do this or that, it was always my decision. Great guy, easy to talk too.

I wasn't an easy case but he knew it going in. He still managed to get me a settlement that I was happy with. Would have liked to have gotten more, but don't we always want that!

Tony was great! I hired him for a work Comp case. It lasted several years. Tony was very professional and kind and empathetic towards me. I am very thankful for the services Tony and the law firm provided for me. He never made me feel like I was pestering him when I would call or email him. He always took the time to listen to me or talk to me and he was great at making sure I understood all the law lingo. I would highly recommend Tony to anyone in need of a great attorney!

I had a work comp settlement with open medical that was causing me nothing but headache's, because after several years they set me up with a new claim specialist. They refused to approve things that had been taken care of by QBE without any problems previously. Pete Leehey originally was in charge of the case. So after 10 years of open medical I had to deal with this new case manger who made it her mission to make my life miserable. Anthony is part of the same law-firm as Pete. He took charge of the situation and helped me find the best solution to my predicament. When I felt like all as lost he helped me find my way. Thank you

Anthony represented me in a workplace injury case. I appreciated that he did not make exaggerated predictions, he was competent, was unafraid to act, and was patient with me when I was emotional.

I experienced an injury at work, and I was getting the run-around when I tried to get help. I wasn't asking for money or trying to get revenge against my workplace; all I wanted was the medical help I deserved so that I could continue to work. Anthony was pleasant, professional, and courteous, and worked quickly to make sure that I got the help that I needed. He was informative about the legal processes involved, and was straight-forward with me about all potential outcomes (good and bad) for my specific case. He was supportive and confident, and made me feel comfortable that I was in good hands. Within a short amount of time I had the care that I needed, and on top of that, Anthony made sure that I was covering myself as much as possible for any potential worsening of my injury in the future. If I had to go back and go through this process all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. I will definitely be contacting Anthony in the future for any potential needs. Thanks again, Anthony!
