About
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.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. 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.

Harley is a phenomenal attorney! I hired Harley to represent me in a case that took longer than we expected but he truly did a great job. He listens to your goals and helps develop a strategy that can work. He's an absolute top notch attorney at a very reasonable price. I've worked with a number of attorneys over the years and Harley's easily one of the best communicators that I've worked with. He gets back to you quickly and is extremely easy to get in contact with. One of the things that I appreciated the most was that he was honest and upfront with me the entire time. He went above and beyond my expectations especially for the amount of time he dedicated to our case.
Harley recently closed out a defective construction law suite I brought against a non profit organization. A different attorney had been handling the case from 2015-2017. I took the law suite to Harley in 2017 after the case seemed to go nowhere. After being thrown into the middle of this case, Harley was able to decipher through it all. When I was ready to throw in the towel, Harley would encourage me to hang in there and to trust him, I wish i had taken his advise from the start. "I wasted a lot of time worrying." Harley was able to make a settlement in my favor and avoid trial. Harley was always looking out for my best interest and kept me informed on every aspect of the case at all times. He returned my calls and emails within minutes. By Harley being able to settle my case before trial, I received back a substantial amount of my retaining fee. He truly made you feel like you were part of his team. I consider Harley a friend and an all around good guy. Harley was truly a breath of fresh air and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I was dealing with a difficult situation and urgently needed representation. I searched online and am SO thankful I found Harley. He immediately assessed my situation and put a plan in place. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and efficient, he is genuinely interested in helping his clients. His communication throughout the entire process was top notch. Fees were reasonable and the outcome was exactly as I hoped. I can't truly thank him enough!!!
I consulted him about an unemployment benefits appeal. He was knowledgable about the situation and answered all my questions in a professional manner. He filed the appeal promptly and then represented me during the hearing. He continues to provide assistance and support as I go through the process again.
He didn't do much because my employer backed out the day before. None the less right off the bat he was ready get the ball rolling. He was extremely professional and empathetic . I've already recommended him to some of my friends already.
Harley was very prompt and responsive from the moment I first contacted him. He took the time and was very through with learning about my situation. Gave me pro's and con's on various ways to address the case and was never pushy. I would have no hesitation to give him the highest recommendation to anyone that would need an attorney. Absolutely first class!
he helped so much; I was very nervous for a potential legal problem. He told me I would be protected if something happened.
Harley agreed to represent my wife and I after we purchased an extended warranty on a used diesel pickup that later had a catastrophic $12K breakdown. Though the part that failed was not listed as an exclusion the warranty co. chose not to pay! Through several tries and help from attorney friends we finally came across the Erbe firm. From the initial consult I found Harley to be straight forward and honest and knew if we had a chance to recoup moneys we had found a great advocate! Harley was always punctual with communications, open and realistic during the negotiations and did what said he would. We ended up getting about 80% of our losses but were saved the expense and bother of a trial that would have cost us time and $$. I hope we never need his help again but if we do I would not hesitate to call the Erbe Law Firm!!!
Dedicated, Researched, and Seasoned: While working with Harley at Erbe Law Firm throughout a motorcycle injury case, it was relieving to have a lawyer such as he. His attentiveness, dedication, and communication throughout the 2.8 year long case is unmatched. He was on the ball, researching between party communications, and reaching out regularly with the next steps or to touch base. The best qualities I would always go back to him for include, but aren't limited to, his prior experience in similar cases, his knowledge in case-law that may affect the case at hand, and his research in the jury statistics to make the right call on settling or pushing forth to more appropriate compensation. During the final weeks of the motorcycle injury case, he swiftly and accurately worked with all parties to bring it to a close as efficiently as possible. His firm's resources and experience were invaluable to the success of the case. 10/10 Recommended
I am writing this review for Harley Erbe, Esq. because he provided exceptional legal counsel for me recently. I was denied unemployment and needed help with appealing my unemployment case. From the moment I contacted Mr. Erbe, he explained everything in a way I could understand. He is highly knowledgeable and thorough in every aspect of unemployment/labor law. He did not give me false hopes but was able to explain to me what exactly I needed to focus on in my case. Because of his demeanor and approach, I was able to focus on what what was necessary and leave out the rest. His guidance allowed me to feel much less anxious and more confident. I won my case because Mr. Erbe knew exactly how to help me, and I would highly recommend him for any individual needing legal assistance.
