Scott does a great job of taking care of my legal issues, so I can focus on my Property Management business. I had an issue with a person that had purchased a building from me, and then many months later tried to make an issue that there was a problem with the 2nd floor of the building. We disclosed all in Escrow, but this person still tried to make an issue of it, and Scott quickly and efficiently took care of the issue. This is just one of the cases that Scott handled. His advice is extremely valuable and has certainly helped me make my business more successful. We just forward any possible legal issue to his office, and we are fortunate enough to have them as our attorneys.

Having an aversion to the legal system and its convoluted procedures, it is of the utmost importance that I have a lawyer that I can trust competently to represent my interests, as well as one that can put my concerns at ease during the process. Scott Baker is an experienced lawyer who fulfills these requirements perfectly.

I am the CFO of a multi-disciplinary construction and maintenance company that operate throughout California. We have used Scott’s firm for consulting and litigation services for nearly 20 years. His firm has been consistently successful in protecting my company’s rights in various types of matters such as contract disputes, unfair trade practices, employment and collections. I have attended trials, arbitrations, administrative hearings and mediations with Scott and have found him to be fully prepared, responsive to our needs, aggressive yet sensible, and he has the rare ability to educate us on each process while considering the business implications of the legal options. I highly recommend Scott’s firm to everyone who wants a smart, intuitive, caring, diligent and protective attorney who approaches problems with sensible solutions.

John is an outstanding personal injury attorney with a big heart! I had two car accidents with life-changing injuries involving negligent drivers and felt very lost at the time. I was overwhelmed with medical bills while struggling to get my life back on track. I reached out to John and he agreed to represent me in a heartbeat! He was strategic and attained an excellent outcome that exceeded my expectations.
What impressed me the most was John’s determination to achieve the best possible result! He fought hard for my rights and was responsive to my needs, providing not only legal advice but also emotional support during the difficult time. He had the magic touch and superpower to make an initially daunting experience remarkably approachable. From the first phone call I had with John, I felt HEARD! His professionalism and empathy made such a huge difference! He guided me through the entire process, easing my worries and giving clear explanations regarding the legal and insurance procedures.
John was also proactive, sharp, and realistic about the strategies for my cases as they developed. He gave me honest counsel that showed the highest standards of ethics and professional integrity. He genuinely cared about my cases and my well-being. I truly felt my best interests were taken into consideration. John was kind and friendly and had a positive attitude. He addressed all of my concerns and made sure that I felt comfortable with every decision and option. He also took his time to explain complex legal concepts and treated even my silliest questions with great patience. He kept constant communication, ensuring I was informed every step of the way.
I was fortunate to have an attorney like John who is skilled and reassuring during times of high stress, especially after the car accidents leaving me with serious long-term injuries when I was not at fault. He went above and beyond to advocate for me and helped me through some of the most challenging moments of my life. My only focus was on getting well and receiving the medical treatment I needed. He gave me peace of mind and took care of everything else. Now that John has successfully resolved my cases, I am able to move on with my life and focus on my physical recovery with ease!
I am forever grateful for John’s help and highly recommend him to anyone seeking effective, trustworthy, and compassionate representation. You will be in excellent hands. A heartfelt THANK YOU to John!

I had an amazing experience working with Jonah.
I had a small, but complex legal issue that resulted in a warrant being issued for time I had already served, and left the state for. Jonah was very communicative from the start, and was able to get me added to SF calendar quickly, so I flew in/out for court in the same day. He answered all questions I had, and was always very good about responding. To top it all off - his price was excellent.
I highly recommend Chew Law for anyone needing reliable legal services in The Bay!

Hired Treg to handle a case against a contractor. The case lasted over a year and went to arbitration. It was impressive to observe and watch Treg perfect his craft. His counsel and strategy were excellent. What was even more impressive was his level of preparation and skill in navigating the complexities of the case. It was not an easy case. The case resulted in our favor and we are very grateful for the expertise, skill and counsel of Treg.

Olivia is absolutely outstanding! She understands the emotional side of your case while being able to find the legal aspects of holding the employer accountable for breaking the law! Made a really terrible situation a little easier by explaining everything and helping me get everything in order and in the right hands. I would not use anyone else! Call them for any sexual harassment case... You won't be disappointed! 10/10

I recently had the privilege of working with Karla Waymire for my family law case, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Navigating family matters can be incredibly stressful and emotional, but Karla's support and expertise made the entire process significantly easier. From our initial consultation, Karla demonstrated a genuine understanding of my situation and listened attentively to my concerns. She patiently explained the legal complexities involved. I truly appreciated her clear and honest communication style. She never made promises she couldn't keep, and always kept me updated on the progress of my case. I highly recommend Karla Waymier to anyone seeking a skilled, experienced, and empathetic family law attorney. I am incredibly thankful for her guidance and support, and I am thrilled with the results she achieved for me.

I was involved in a car accident several months ago and I came across D&Z law group which Erik Zograbian is a partner at. Erik assured me everything would be fine every step of the way along with his caring staff. I had to get treatment for my lower back pains and his firm found me the best care. After I was done treating, Erik settled my case and even gave me a discount on his fees knowing that It would help me tremendously. He got my car fixed, got me the appropriate treatment I needed and even supplied me with a sum of money at the conclusion of my case for my pain and suffering. I am forever grateful and will definitely be returning in the event that I am in another car accident, god forbid. Thank you to Erik and his staff!!

Integrity is the best word to describe Jon Webster. It's difficult to describe his level of professionalism without going into the details of the case but he and his office deserve an incredible review. The outcome could have been much different. The possibility of Jon Webster being able to make far more out of the case was extremely high but he instead steered me toward the option of settling while I was ahead so that I may put it all behind me. My family and I are happy and relieved it's all behind us. You're the best!

Lauren Fair has been an incredible advocate for my children and I as my attorney. Having her representation gave me immediate peace of mind and security during the most difficult times. Lauren is so very experienced and knowledgeable in her work and also the realities of the flawed family court system. She always took time to explain and respond to me and made me feel supported and understood while giving me valuable information and expectations for the outcome. Additionally, she is incredibly compassionate, understanding and patient too. In Lauren Fair I found an ally and a super intelligent, calm, honest, and ultra competent representative. Additionally, her office is full of genuinely kind, whip smart and helpful people; Alex, Jorah, and Samantha are amazing. Divorce, custody and support issues are very stressful and difficult to navigate and Lauren Fair and her team are truly the best and I highly recommend.

My experience with Mr. Cadora was about 10 years ago but I am still smarting . On a positive note when I needed a copy of the divorce that I got during my time with him his receptionist sent it to me. This was about 2 years ago. Thanks to that kind receptionist.
That was nice! How good is Kevin Cadora? Well I've never used a divorce attorney before but the experience was a six month nightmare due more to my wife's attorney who lied like a rug than Mr. Cadora . My ex lied on the declaration. I remember his paralegal at the time Heather said "Kevin is great on dealing with lies of the opposition" and my wife's lie's ruled the day.
I got keel hauled I feel in the end It might have been the pre nup before I got married. Pay up and get a killer one. Because Mr. Cadora might have done his best with a horrible pre-nup. I'd say this review is more about the prenup than anything. If you have assets pay $5,000 or whatever it takes to keep the Roman Legions from breaking it down.
My pre-nup was done by some guy named Courtney in Springfield Mo and it turned out to be worthless. Yes my wife lied but shouldn't a prenup protect you against lies? And if you are divorcing someone and want blood use a ruthless brutal lying attorney like my wife used. I may be juding Fair Cadora too harshly. I mean if your wife lies, she's poor and you have money you're in real jeoprady. In short GO OVERBOARD ON THE PRE-NUP.
Kevin Cadora seems honest and if anything he's got a lot of clients because he must be good and well recommended. If you get married PROTECT YOURSELF because your spouse can lie like a rug. Mine did and I paid for it. Even if you have a GREAT attorney ( Maybe Cadora is great) dont be cheap on the Pre-nup
ADDENDUM. If you get married in a state like Missouri where I got married, DO NOT TAKE YOUR SPOUSE TO CALIFORNIA IF YOUR MARRIAGE IS NOT HEALTHY. The California legal system is horrible. The whole system stinks like a cess pool. Again I am NOT saying terrible things about Mr. Cadora. He did his best. But in California, at least in San Diego, they don't seem to care a rat's butt about the truth. I can NOT figure out why they don't use polygraph tests there?? I mean had my wife had one she would have gone down like the Titanic. I think had I been in Missouri (where I got married) and NOT in California (where I got divorced) I would have been OK. But heaven help you if YOU have assets in Cali and your spouse doesn't. You could be in for a torturous procedure.

Martin is extremely knowledgeable about the law and attentive to detail. From the first day that I contacted Martin, he understood my point of view, explained to me the laws that pertained my case and set the right expectations before he took on my case. After hiring Martin as my attorney, I wrote a very detailed statement about my case and with that Martin wrote a very accurate statement and demand letter honoring my story to be presented. He was very responsive and communicative through out the whole process, he would share with me everything I needed to know before proceeding to next steps and would make sure I was ok with it before making a next move. My case came to an agreement through out Mediation with the best result I could possibly get not only because I knew my own case very well but because Martin prepared me for it and was there with the best legal advice and legal service to provide. I am very grateful that I was referred to contact Martin and I hired him as my attorney. He is everything a lawyer should be in our day and age. Thank you Martin, for taking on my case!

In all honesty working with David has changed my view of attorneys in a good way. He listened to me, showed compassion and in my opinion his work in the court room is unequaled.

I just want to give a HUGE shout out to David Olan and Olan Law for really stepping up to the plate with my personal injury case. David has been directly working with me and handling my unfortunate accident I had about 2 months ago when a car took a right turn into me as I was going south through the intersection on Pico and Ocean. Thanks to Olan Law I'm getting the proper medical attention necessary and fair compensation for my damaged bike.
If you guys ever have any accident whether it's on your bike or in your car David is definitely the guy to call. He's 24/7 and no case is too small. It's great having an attorney on our side especially knowing how dangerous our sport is. Below is his website and contact info. Please keep it for reference.

My wife and I have been working with her oldest brother (85 yrs old) to help him with a Will and a Living Trust. For the past 3 years we have traveled from our home in Durand Mi. to San Diego to provide him with advice and provide any help he may need to get everything right. The more we worked the more complicated and confusing this procedure became, OMG were we Stumped. This year we decided we needed professional help. So, what do you do when your 2000 miles away and don't really know anybody in a big city like San Diego, GOOGLE IT! That's exactly what we did and came up with a bunch of names of attorneys that claim to be the best anywhere. We started making calls to see who we liked the best and would be able to take care of our issues. We left voice mails and asked to have someone contact us to set up a meeting. We encountered a few who were vague and after listening to what we needed really didn’t seem too interested. Then Jason, called us and we were so happy with his attitude and wiliness to complete the needed documents on a very short notice. Everyone in that firm seemed to want to help us get everything right, signed, and registered they even worked through the weekend. So, we could rest assured that we wouldn't be caught up in a nightmare with the probate courts. Thank you, Jason, and Ashley what a great feeling to know we made the right decision when we chose you

I am so grateful that I found Joshua Fabian at Boyd Law to represent me as my lawyer for my restraining order case, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. What stood out to me the most was his kind, warm, and empathetic personality. Dealing with a stressful legal situation and the emotional pain of assault was incredibly difficult, but Joshua’s understanding and compassion made the entire process much more manageable.
Not only is he a genuinely caring person, but he is also exceptionally intelligent and deeply knowledgeable about the law. I always felt confident that he was working diligently on my behalf and had my back throughout the entire process. His attention to detail is unmatched—Joshua was incredibly thorough and took the time to fully understand every aspect of my case and how to get me justice. He ensured he was well-prepared at every step, which made me feel so relieved, and that I didn't have to worry as much, because he had things handled.
Joshua Fabian is an excellent family law attorney who is not only skilled but also truly cares about his clients. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal services in this area.

Joshua Fabian is amazing! Although pricey, going with him and Boyd Law was a great decision for me. My case was a little smaller, but he never made me feel like it wasn't worth it. If there was ever a miscommunication through email (due to me having to move out of state suddenly, this was our main source of communication) he made sure to give me a call and explain things. He is a busy man (as the good lawyers normally are), but he always made sure he was able to give me the time of day especially when I felt uneasy. I'm very happy with the outcome of my case so far, and think you guys will be too!

I HIGHLY recommend Brandon Banks for anyone needing legal guidance, especially regarding business agreements. I recently consulted with Brandon about a confidentiality agreement, and Brandon’s expertise was invaluable! He not only possesses a strong understanding of employment law and personal protection, but he also has a talent for crafting an effective response. Brandon helped me articulate my concerns to my colleague, in a way that was both clear and non-confrontational, ensuring my interests were protected. This is not my first time seeking Brandon's assistance, and his consistent professionalism and knowledge is the reason why it won’t be my last! Thank you, Brandon!

Well, I had to leave a couple of 4 stars just out of principle. But Andy saved my sanity. Had he known I'd put in my 2 cents as often as I did I'm sure he wouldn't have took my case. But I'm glad he did. Thanks for helping out and taking a chance on a super duper rare case full of obstacles. Merry Christmas and thank you...
For those of you looking for a lawyer in his area of expertise....be honest from the start and trust him.

Fakhimi & Associates has been there to help me fight a good fight a couple of times now. I'm a blue collar plumber and work hard for what I have to offer my house. You put heart and soul into a company, you hope that the hard work and dedicated you put into your craft, they would reward you for what you do for the company.... they take advantage of you and your time. Time away from your family, holiday functions, and just life. Recently my old employer did just that... I decided to fight and this office helped me. They helped me get back what my family was owed. Houman Fakhimi himself personally made sure my house wasn't robbed. This is going to be a good if not the best, Christmas my home has ever seen. I can't thank Fakhimi & Associates enough, thank you Houman! Best wishes for the upcoming holidays for your office and it's families!

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:
-
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. -
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. -
What is your success rate with insurance disputes?
Ask about the lawyer’s track record in winning or settling cases similar to yours. -
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. -
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. -
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.
