Without doubt, David Moorhead is not only a Great attorney he is also extremely caring! My son got a DUI and immediately hired another attorney who I thought was not really doing her job properly. I may have been mistaken about that but, and so I contacted David to get a second opinion. He took my call immediately. I explained my concern about the other attorney and between phone calls and text he probably spent a good 45 minutes with me – at no charge! As things progressed with the other attorney I was still very concerned and contacted him again a few weeks later via text. He was on vacation in Italy and responded within 10 minutes even though it was almost bedtime. He even went online and looked at my son's case and gave me his definitive answer on the situation– once again, at no charge. I can't say how much I appreciate his compassion and expertise at a time of great concern for me. I have never had an attorney (even one I paid for) respond to me as quickly and knowledgeably as David. I would give him 10 stars if I could!

I wish words could express how thankful I am for Justin Berg and his work as my attorney on my construction defect case.  If I could give him more stars, I would. I highly, highly recommend Justin Berg. I built a house that had numerous and significant construction defects, and I have had the extreme good fortune to work with Justin for about four years to get my house repaired and hold the builder accountable.  Among other things, Justin is an expert on construction contracts, construction defect cases and insurance coverage, so he was able to help me in all three areas. When the defects in my house started appearing, Justin knew exactly what to do. If I had tried to begin this process and/or go down this road on my own, I would not have done it correctly nor would I have gotten the results I wanted. Justin is incredibly knowledgeable about the law in general and business litigation, insurance coverage, construction defect and construction contract cases specifically, so he guides us down the path that is the most legally effective and financially responsible.  He is strategic, patient, honest and ethical. He is very smart, and he is great at explaining complex legal issues.  He always has his clients’ best interests in mind.  I know attorneys are expensive, and Justin is worth every penny and so much more. Justin will assess your case and create the most effective strategy given the facts of your situation just as he did with mine. Justin has cared as much about my case as I do. He earned my trust with his extensive knowledge about the law, his willingness and ability to explain it to me, the fact that he was very conscientious about what the lawsuit was costing me, and by genuinely having my best interests at heart. I was very anxious, and Justin was incredibly patient about answering all my questions so I could understand what was going on. Justin is an excellent listener, respectful, empathetic and a great communicator - both verbally and written. He genuinely wants to help his clients achieve the best possible outcome. If you find yourself in need of a lawyer, I hope you are as lucky as I am and get to work with Justin. I cannot thank Justin Berg and everyone at Berg, Hill, Greenleaf and Ruscitti enough for helping me with such a complex and stressful experience.  They seem to understand how overwhelming and expensive a lawsuit is, and they work to make it easy as possible for the client.  I hold them in the highest regard, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. I will be forever thankful for Justin Berg and everyone at BHGR.

Sara made the divorce mediation process clear, and as painless as possible. I appreciated most her kindness and efficiency in allowing my partner and I to do work on our own and then Sara would then go over it for clarity and correctness. We smoothly sailed through the court process due to her vast knowledge and support.

I was permanently disabled in a car accident in 1999 and had two private disability insurance policies. When one of them illegal denied my claim, the attorney who represented me referred me to Steve Taffet to get help. Steve quickly got them to start paying me. Then they started harassing me with multiple re-evaluations with their doctors looking for a way to cut me off and sending private detectives to follow me and watch my house. And Steve dealt with them about these practices and got them stopped. Over the years, this company has continued to look for ways to make my life miserable as punishment for filling a claim. And every time, Steve was able to get them to treat me better. After over 15 years of dealing with this company, Steve has always come thru. I would recommend him highly.

Steve took my case when my insurance company terminated my disability benefits because of a doctor's coding error. Steve navigated the tough waters of doctors scared of insurance companies and lawyers, all the while proclaiming their support for me. Steve calmed them down and after what seemed to be a protracted period of nothingness, he started to finesse the information he needed to prepare the appeal document. In the process he found great medical consultants to aid in his process. In the end his ability to put together a well laid out appeal document and his discussions with the insurance company led to a successful appeal and reinstatement of benefits. Steve will represent and fight for your interests in a most professional manner. He was always available to take my calls and answer my questions and concerns. He exhibited extreme patience with me as my anxiety climbed due to the long time it took to get the doctors to get onboard. He has mastered the intricacies of ERISA law. I would recommend Steve Taffet to anyone needing his specialized legal assistance.

This is an awful firm to work with. They charge exorbitant fees. Use junior lawyers who are unqualified, have poor communication skills and take two days to respond to client requests. They charged us close to $6,000 for an eviction. Beware of this firm. I do not recommend and am pulling my three properties that are currently with them.

If I could I would rate negative stars. I am very upset right now on how my family and I are being treated. Mark C. Johnson is a horrible attorney. He is refusing to let us get a new attorney even though he flat out told us he couldn't win our case. But yet refuse to let us get a new attorney it's absolutely absurd and cruel. Not to mention how rude he is I was calling him to get more information and he had told me not to call him what kind of attorney does that. I strongly suggest not hiring Mark C Johnson as your attorney He is a liar and will do the opposite what he is promising you.

Mark Johnson, what can I even say? He knows next to nothing about the Federal legal system. I have a friend sitting in custody, and Mark stated that he pretty much cannot help him and that he will definitely lose. There is no effort, no care. Just no nothing. He needs to step it up.

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.

Top Questions to Ask an Insurance Lawyer

Before hiring an insurance lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they are the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:

  1. What experience do you have with insurance law?
    Ensure the lawyer has specific experience handling cases involving your type of insurance, whether it’s auto, health, home, or business-related.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer works on contingency, hourly rates, or flat fees, and ask for an estimate of the total cost of your case.
  3. What is your success rate with insurance disputes?
    Ask about the lawyer’s track record in winning or settling cases similar to yours.
  4. What are my chances of success?
    A good lawyer will provide an honest assessment of your case’s strengths and weaknesses and outline the possible outcomes.
  5. How long will the process take?
    Get an estimate of how long it will take to resolve your claim or dispute, as some cases can extend over months or even years.
  6. Will you handle my case personally?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case.

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:

  • Verify their state bar license: Check with your state bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
  • Review their experience in insurance law: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in insurance law and have experience with cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Search for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s expertise and professionalism.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have dealt with similar insurance issues.
  • Check for industry memberships: Membership in organizations like the American Bar Association’s Tort Trial and Insurance Practice Section (TIPS) can indicate the lawyer’s focus on insurance law.

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:

  • A copy of your insurance policy: Bring the policy related to your claim or dispute so the lawyer can review the coverage details.
  • Any correspondence with the insurance company: Provide copies of letters, emails, or other communications between you and your insurer regarding the claim or denial.
  • 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.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can ensure that the lawyer has all the information they need to assess your case and provide the best legal advice.
