Peddicord Wharton has provided practical solutions and exceptional legal service since 1965.


Today our experienced, effective team continues to stand out among our competition and is ready to provide proactive and efficient advocacy for our clients.

When Roland D. Peddicord established our firm he hired a team of lawyers with the work ethic, collaboration skills and knowledge to help their clients win. When it comes to the attributes we look for in our team today, not much has changed since 1965.

It’s how we’ve earned our reputation as a legal partner that clients can trust day in and day out. A legal partner that will fight to get our clients the best results.

At our West Des Moines law office, we offer legal services in the areas of bodily injury, workers’ compensation, professional negligence, employment, products liability, aviation litigation, government liability and insurance law.
