About John J.
John J. Rausch built his legal foundation in the Midwest. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from the University of Iowa in 1992 and completed his Juris Doctor at Drake University Law School in 1995. Those academic years set the stage for a practice rooted in both legal procedure and the business realities clients face.
He moved into practice after law school and established himself in private practice. Over time he formed the Rausch Law Office, where he handles matters that often involve workplace injuries and compensation disputes. He is a steady presence in the local bar community and in associations that address civil justice and workers’ rights.
Rausch belongs to the American Association of Justice and the Iowa Association for Justice. He also holds membership in the Workers’ Compensation Section of the Iowa Association for Justice. Those affiliations point to the kind of work he handles: contested benefit claims, administrative hearings, and negotiations with insurance carriers. He participates in continuing education and association activities tied to those areas.
Colleagues describe his approach as methodical. He tends to break complex claims into their component parts and explain them in plain language to clients. That style is practical; clients dealing with injuries or disability often need clear guidance through hearing schedules, medical evidence, and settlement offers. Rausch’s background in business administration informs how he evaluates the economic aspects of a claim.
At the Rausch Law Office he manages case intake, prepares filings for administrative tribunals, and appears on behalf of clients at hearings. He handles the litigation tasks that arise in workers’ compensation matters, including medical record review and testimony preparation. He also works on related personal injury issues that overlap with employment injuries.
Outside of casework, Rausch stays involved in professional groups that shape practice standards and continuing legal education for plaintiffs’ advocates. He maintains memberships that keep him connected to peers and to developments in worker protection law. He currently practices at Rausch Law Office, representing clients in workers’ compensation and related matters.
