My practice is focused on workers' compensation, personal injury, appeals, and insurance . I am also regularly called upon to consult or serve as local counsel. My clients are generally located in the western half of Iowa and the Council Bluffs/Omaha metro area. However, I regularly have cases throughout Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota. I have many years of experience litigating cases and in state and federal courts within the Eighth Circuit. One of my cases has been argued before the Supreme Court of the United States.

Robert is not the stereotypical Attorney. He is not focused on "getting paid". I truly believe that he is interested in connecting with his clients and treating them as individuals. Not only that, but he has shown a side of compassion that can only be described as unique for any professional. I would recommend Robert for his ability work with diverse people groups and legal expertise that is of a high caliber.
An excellent job and result on an exceedingly difficult case.
Excellent, honest, attorney. Always returns phone calls. Absolutely trustworthy to act in his client's interest.
His firm was recommended to me because of their reputation and knowledge of the Commercial Property Casualty Industry. I found Attorney Livingston to be extremely knowledgeable, very thorough and detailed in his analysis of our claim and resulting litigation. Attorney Livingston always kept me fully informed and up to date on all of the ongoing proceedings. Especially appreciated his calming presence and help during my deposition process and his expertise & thoroughness in opposing depositions.
