Hamilton was referred to me by my attorney. Have you ever assembled a team and knew you needed on additional player knowing that he could make all the difference? That is Hamilton. Hamilton joined my legal team relatively late but his effectiveness and contribution was immediate. Sharp, funny, and articulate Hamilton went for the jugular and worked so well with my other attorney it was as if they had been together for the entire 3 1/2 year ordeal. His knowledge of business law and skill in reading people were inspiring. With the knowledge he brought to my team I feel not only helped win the case but prepared me to be a better at business in the future.

I hired Henry after an attempt to get a fair settlement failed. My circumstances were the collision caused a severe exacerbation of preexisting conditions, so that was the basis of both my own insurance and her insurance company's refusals, despite knowing that I was approved for both short- and long-term disability after the accident.
Henry and Peggy took over and I stepped back and they did their work. I never received anything but warmth and felt as though I was a genuine person to both of them.
The insurance companies resisted, but Henry and Peggy never stopped with their persistence and were able to obtain the maximum payout from both companies. I don't believe that the insurance companies believe that they were in the wrong for their denials, but they had to stop disregarding the doctors, the disability providers, and me.
Many thanks, Henry and Peggy.

Justin has represented me a number of times and in every instance he helped me achieve a favorable outcome. Most recently he helped me deal with a personal injury situation where I was being frivolously threatened with litigation. His involvement dissuaded my accuser, who withdrew shortly after I hired Justin and has not been heard from since.

We retained Jeff to defend our company in a construction litigation matter. He was responsive, knowledgeable of the issues and kept us informed throughout the process. Jeff provided practical, clear options that resulted in a favorable outcome for our company. His character is unquestionable and he is clearly respected among his peers. We would not hesitate to refer him to others, or hire him in the future if we need legal counsel.

Ross Pringle came to me as an Advocate, and within a matter of weeks, he also became a mentor and friend. If I could leave him one hundred stars, I would! Ross took the time to explain to me topics that were outside of my understanding, in a way that was respectful, timely, and in every action he showed me grace! His office staff mirrored Ross, in their positivity, and trust through and through! During the pandemic when it could have been easier to be less actively involved, Ross was just the opposite! We discussed strategies at every step of the way and stood firm as a team! He never once backed down and in the end, Ross went above and beyond on one of last moves, which brought tears of joy in his his compassion and delivery! He was always readily available anytime of the day or evening too! If you need an Attorney who walks the walk, amongst a sea of others, I wholeheartedly recommend you pick Ross! My deepest thanks, to Ross and his firm, for being my BRIGHTEST LIGHT!
Cheers and gratitude for the New Year!

I was involved in a motorcycle accident in November of 2023. The worst mistake I made was not contacting Glen Larson Law sooner. I waited two months after the accident to get them involved. I never would have thought that the at fault insurance company would deny liability with all the evidence in my favor, but they did. Even though I waited to contact them, Glen and Marco worked extremely hard to gather all the evidence to help support my case. I was pleasantly surprised to hear they managed to get the body cam and dash cam footage from the responding officer the day of my accident. They managed to get the other insurance company to back down and settle for the maximum policy amount! They always kept me updated on my case and would proudly recommend them to anyone in a similar situation!

The information Attorney Scurlock gave me was not what I wanted to hear - but it was what I needed to hear, and he went through quite a struggle to get into communication with me. He presented the information in a manner that helped me to process it. I know that if I ever have need of an attorney, he is the fellow I will reach out to.

I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for Mr. Scurlock. Recently, I accidentally called his cell phone while he was busy cooking for friends, and instead of brushing me off, he took the time to help me with my concerns. His kindness and compassion truly stood out.
Mr. Scurlock is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also genuinely cares about people. I highly recommend him for anyone in need of legal assistance.

Chris and his team were amazing and easy to work with. Before asking for representation the insurance of the other driver only wanted to pay $1000. I declined and asked Chris to take my case which I am glad he did. I was referred to him by a friend. He was able to do everything he set out to do and I couldn’t be anymore grateful for him, Eloise & Maggie. They kept in contact and constantly updated me via voicemail or email if I couldn’t answer the phone..Thank you all again.. Highly recommend!!!

I recently had the opportunity to work with Robson Law Firm, and I can't recommend them highly enough. From the moment I reached out for a consultation, the team was professional, attentive, and genuinely caring about my legal needs.
The attorneys at Robson Law Firm are knowledgeable and experienced, providing clear explanations of the legal processes involved in my case. They took the time to listen to my concerns and tailored their approach to meet my specific situation. Communication was excellent; I was kept informed at every step, and any questions I had were answered promptly.
What truly stood out to me was their commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. They went above and beyond, demonstrating not only legal expertise but also a deep understanding of the human side of legal issues.
The office environment was welcoming, and the staff was friendly and supportive. It made what could have been a stressful experience much more manageable.
Overall, I highly recommend Robson Law Firm for anyone seeking reliable and compassionate legal representation. Their dedication and professionalism truly set them apart in the field.

(Response to reply) please get your story straight you hung up on me I applaud you trying to use big words though yes it came thereafter because you denied me any services thereafter not even giving me a chance to explain the situation.Its okay I’m glad i didn’t hire you.I think it’s amazing you get your employees to post reviews though I’m not a client because you were quick to turn me away could’ve just left a nice email saying you didn’t want to take my case but instead you left an obnoxious voice message saying you wanted to help and when I called you back you said you couldn’t and wanted to add a 220 consultation fee which with life being as expensive as it is shows you have no mercy for people who are trying and will turn them away before even trying to help them with resources your method is charge charge charge! Because you’re greedy greedy greedy!Absolutely the worst Stuck up does not care about the client wants to charge over 200 dollars for a consultation fee not in this lifetime

Divorce was one of the most daunting events of my life. I was fortunate to have a long-time attorney in Houston recommend Charlie Bowes as a top divorce attorney in Austin. There were numerous challenges during the divorce case, including the ex-wife switching to three different attorneys. The process was during the COVID pandemic, which represented further challenges. For me, communication was key so that I could understand the potential ramifications of each element of the process. Charlie is not the type of attorney who only tells you what you want to hear, but he will tell you what is actually in your best interest. He always presented alternatives based on his vast experience on every issue. There were times when Charlie would have to “talk me off the ledge” during which I was taking a stubborn approach that could have had negative consequences on my case. In the end, I could not have found a better attorney than Charlie and his paralegal Charlyne.

Navigating the family court system can be a terrifying experience. Finding myself in this position and knowing the battles ahead to fight for possession and decision-making rights for my child was beyond nerve-racking. I wasn't sure where to turn. Enter Katherine Obando…
There aren’t enough characters to adequately describe the attention and care she gave my case. On an interpersonal level, I consistently felt heard and understood – a HUGE relief in dealing with the stressors of the family law process. As my attorney, she made it evident she would FIGHT for me, and she did! I’ll forever be grateful for the amount of work and energy she gave my case.
STRONGLY recommend!!!

In 2018, the lives of my wife and I, and our son-in-law, were completely upended by the death of our youngest daughter, who was a very special bright spot in our family. After being married only six months, she died in Austin from injuries suffered in an avoidable accident. My wife and I hoped to avoid any other family losing a loved one in the same fashion. As a dad, I had to understand what happened to my daughter. I spent months investigating the facts of the accident and speaking to at least a dozen law firms. Eventually, I spoke with Joel Levine, Dave Wenholz and Daniel Smith. They were very willing to represent us although our case had difficulties, when no other firm would represent us. We benefitted from very effective and excellent representation of Dave Wenholz and Daniel Smith which resulted in a settlement of our case right before trial. My wife and I can't begin to say how much we appreciated that our attorneys believed in our case despite its challenges, and were zealous advocates for our daughter. We cannot recommend Joel, Dave and Daniel highly enough.

I was referred to Joel Levine by Kansas attorney I clearly called them for call backs , I recieved a call that I missed I returned the call to reached out . Never called me back took them 3 weeks to call me back I told the lady it’s been a non injury case it should be on the notes and all the waiting for her to tell me they do not handle non injury case . I suggest better communication by this company. Honestly waisted my time , did not take consideration I understand theirs a line but for 3 weeks is rediculous are you calling one person per day ? . The referral lady by my job takes up a week and does not take this long to get in contact with her customers.
I suggest the front lady that answered the phone to know what type of cases you guys allow and don’t to avoid time waisted personally for the customer and the sake of the co worker .

By far the worst lawyer we’ve ever spoken with. He was rude, unhelpful, and seemed uninterested in answering our questions. We definitely do not look forward to working with him again. His lack of knowledge and dismissive attitude left us feeling frustrated and confused. If you’ve had a car accident and need a lawyer, we recommend looking elsewhere. This is certainly not the best lawyer in Austin.

We recently completed our closing with Maggie at Chicago Title, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her exceptional service. She provided us with all the information we needed to navigate the process smoothly, making everything clear and stress-free. What truly stood out was her attention to detail and the extra care she showed towards our kids while we were signing the documents. It made the whole experience much more manageable for us. The photo area after the closing was such a nice touch and gave us a moment to celebrate this milestone. Overall, we are extremely thankful for Maggie’s professionalism and thoughtfulness throughout the entire process.

She’s my closer and always will be my closer. When your title rep is also a real estate attorney, you know the job will be done right. My clients always walk out of our closings feeling very ecstatic with how the whole process went from contract to close. Maggie and her team are always reachable, always extremely knowledgeable and frankly, the best in Austin. I wouldn’t even consider using someone else.

I had the option to work with this company through the buyers.
Very polite and good interactions, but very risky business practice/.
As a person who runs a cybersecurity company, I find the way this business conducts itself unacceptable.
All communications were done via email; there is no customer portal to upload documents securely. Their recommendation was to use Gmail's built-in security features.
We had to create a secure server to maintain all our secure communication.
As a company that deals with landing and PII ( Personal identity information), their lack of security is alarming.
The FTC safeguard rules bind businesses that deal with landing.

Not Recommended! I told Sandy in our phone conversation what I wanted in an attorney but she became defensive like I was trying to insult her, when rather I was talking about a hypothetical plus my own past experience dealing with attorneys .
Further, she did not honor her commitment to follow up with the documents I sent her.
I am sure there are better lawyers for people to consider.

What an Insurance Lawyer Can Do for You
An insurance lawyer specializes in legal issues related to insurance policies and claims. These lawyers help individuals, businesses, and insurance companies navigate disputes involving insurance coverage, claim denials, bad faith claims, and policy interpretation. Insurance lawyers can represent policyholders who feel they've been unfairly denied coverage, or they can work on behalf of insurance companies to defend against fraudulent or inflated claims.
Whether you're filing a claim, disputing a denial, or dealing with complex coverage issues, an insurance lawyer can provide critical guidance and legal representation to protect your rights and ensure you receive the benefits you're entitled to under your policy.
When Should I Hire an Insurance Lawyer?
Hiring an insurance lawyer is advisable in several situations, particularly when disputes arise over insurance coverage, claim denials, or bad faith actions. Common reasons to hire an insurance lawyer include:
- Denied insurance claims: If your insurance company denies your claim, a lawyer can help determine whether the denial was justified or if you should challenge the decision.
- Bad faith insurance practices: If you believe your insurer has acted in bad faith, such as delaying payment or failing to properly investigate your claim, a lawyer can help you pursue legal action.
- Underpaid claims: If the insurance company has offered less compensation than you believe your claim is worth, a lawyer can negotiate for a higher payout or file a lawsuit.
- Coverage disputes: When there's ambiguity or disagreement about what your policy covers, a lawyer can provide clarity and advocate for your rights under the policy.
- Business insurance claims: If you own a business and are dealing with commercial insurance claims (e.g., property damage, liability, or professional indemnity), a lawyer can help ensure your business receives proper coverage.
- Third-party claims: If you're being sued for liability and your insurance company refuses to defend or indemnify you, an insurance lawyer can help enforce your coverage rights.
- Appealing long-term disability claims: If your disability insurance claim has been denied, a lawyer can assist in gathering evidence and appealing the decision to get the benefits you deserve.
What Does an Insurance Lawyer Do?
An insurance lawyer provides a wide range of services to assist with insurance-related legal issues. These can include:
- Reviewing insurance policies: A lawyer can review your insurance policy to ensure you understand your rights and obligations, as well as clarify what coverage is provided.
- Filing insurance claims: Assisting with the preparation and filing of claims to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
- Challenging claim denials: If your claim has been denied, a lawyer can investigate the reasons for denial and file appeals or lawsuits to challenge the decision.
- Litigating bad faith claims: Representing clients in bad faith insurance cases, where the insurer fails to act in good faith by unfairly delaying, denying, or underpaying a valid claim.
- Negotiating settlements: Helping policyholders negotiate settlements with insurance companies to receive fair compensation for claims.
- Defending against fraudulent claims: Representing insurance companies to defend against false or exaggerated claims filed by policyholders or third parties.
- Handling disputes over policy language: Interpreting complex insurance policies and resolving disputes between the insured and the insurer regarding coverage limits, exclusions, and conditions.
How Are Insurance Lawyers Paid?
Insurance lawyers typically charge for their services in different ways, depending on the nature of the case and the type of insurance issue involved. Common payment structures include:
- Contingency fee: For many policyholders disputing claim denials or underpayments, lawyers work on a contingency basis. This means the lawyer only gets paid if they win or settle the case, taking a percentage (usually between 25% and 40%) of the recovered amount.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing legal issues, such as bad faith lawsuits or business insurance disputes, insurance lawyers may charge an hourly rate. This rate varies depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For simpler matters, such as reviewing an insurance policy or helping file a claim, some lawyers charge a flat fee for their services.
- Retainer: For businesses or clients with ongoing legal needs, an insurance lawyer may require a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment for future services.
It’s important to clarify the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to avoid unexpected costs.
How Much Does an Insurance Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring an insurance lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer's experience, and the payment structure. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fees: If your lawyer works on a contingency fee basis, you won’t pay any fees upfront, but the lawyer will take a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or judgment awarded.
- Hourly rates: Hourly rates for insurance lawyers generally range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. Complex cases involving bad faith or high-value business claims may require significant hours, leading to higher legal costs.
- Flat fees: For specific services, such as reviewing an insurance policy, lawyers may charge a flat fee ranging from $500 to $2,500, depending on the complexity of the task.
- Retainers: Businesses or individuals seeking ongoing insurance legal services may pay a retainer, which can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the lawyer and scope of work.
Make sure to discuss costs and payment structures with your lawyer before proceeding to understand how much the services will cost.

How to Check the Credibility of an Insurance Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a reputable insurance lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with an insurance lawyer, come prepared with the following documents and information:

- Proof of claim and supporting documents: Bring any documentation you have submitted with your claim, including receipts, invoices, photos, medical records, or repair estimates.
- List of questions: Prepare a list of questions you want to ask about your case, the legal process, and the potential outcomes.
- Timeline of events: Be ready to provide a clear timeline of the incident that led to the claim and any steps you’ve taken with your insurance company.
