Last updated on June 3, 2026

I am workers’ compensation attorney Nicholas Platt. Welcome to Platt Law Firm P.C. where I protect the rights and maximize the workers’ compensation benefits of my clients. I have a close connection to the workers of the Des Moines area, having grown up in Iowa myself.

From my law office in Urbandale, I feel honored to serve the people of Fort Dodge. With more than 15 years of experience, I have learned the importance of developing personal relationships. I prioritize this as I help you with your workers’ compensation claim from beginning to end.
