Public Employee Benefits & Military Law

Attorneys Serving Greater Cedar Rapids, Iowa

At the law offices of Crawford, Sullivan, Read & Roemerman, P.C., we represent public employees and military personnel in a wide range of legal matters, from disciplinary actions and pension issues to family law and service discharge disputes. We have provided legal counsel to Iowa residents for more than 50 years.

Public Employee Benefits

Shareholder Bill Roemerman handles all cases involving the rights of public employees. Our clients include police officers, firefighters and other city, county and state workers.

The bulk of our public employee benefits practice centers on appeals for disciplinary actions under the civil service system. Under Iowa's civil service system, public employees who are discharged, suspended or demoted have an appeals process for contesting the disciplinary action.

Whether you were disciplined because of disagreements over procedure, criminal charges, political disagreements of other issues, we will handle the appeal and/or negotiate a termination agreement for you.

We also advise public employees who have legal concerns related to pensions or disability payments. We know that many public workers, such as police officers or firefighters, have their own system for addressing compensation for work-related injuries, separate from Iowa's workers' compensation laws. We handle all types of claims by injured public employees for compensation for workplace injuries.

We are also familiar with the Iowa Public Employees' Retirement System (IPERS). We handle a wide variety of pension claims, such as improper calculation of benefits or wrongful denial of benefits.
