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.

I needed to claim a water damage insurance for my property and I had to deal with an insurance company who was giving me the run around. A friend of mine told me about Gankin Law Corporation and how Gene helped her when she was in a similar situation.

I needed assistance from an attorney because an investment firm had made a mistake in my fund allocations, resulting in loss of income to me. Chad was persistent with them in requesting that they pay this lost income to me. His knowledge of the laws pertaining to my case were very well presented in his correspondence with them. His persistence resulted in my receiving the entire sum I requested, despite their reluctance to do so! He was very responsive, knowledgeable, and was a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend him to anyone that needs an intelligent, competent, and personable attorney!

His grasp of the law and complex situations is exemplary. He is a gifted writer and a very dedicated to his clients type of attorney. I would highly recommend him with the understanding that this is the first professional recommendation I have ever conducted, since I do not take these things lightly.

I was referred to Richard Prager by another attorney who spoke very highly of him. Although Richard was not able to take my case, he spent quality time referring me to other attorneys within his network and helped me find an attorney who could assist me. I was amazed by his generosity and how much he cared for someone who he was not being paid to assist. I have no doubt that he takes very good care of his clients. I highly recommend him.

I would like to say a sincere thank you to Mr. Richard Prager. Richard was outstanding in handling our car accident and injury case. We were recommended to him by a friend of ours and both my wife and I were taken care of from the start. He kept us informed on every aspect of our case, always asking what we wanted to do. Richard was very efficient and responsive to every question we had. He was also, easy to contact. He alway returned our calls. I've never wrote a review before, but I would recommend Richard and the Law Offices of Charles Roseman to everyone who needs a personal injury attorney.

We have hired Brett to represent us for 2 personal injury claims. He has been very helpful in answering all our questions. He responds back to us almost immediately when contacted by phone or email. He is thorough in his record keeping and the best part is that he does all the work for us in acquiring everything needed for our case. He personally contacts the insurance companies involved and deals directly with our physicians and health care providers. He keeps us informed as to the status of the claims. With Brett, I feel like we have someone in our corner in a very intimidating and overwhelming situation.

Brett goes the extra mile for his clients, he truly cares and it shows. Twice he was able to negotiate the highest settlement possible to compensate the injuries sustained as a result of two separate motor vehicle accidents. He would not back down when opposing insurance companies submitted grossly low - ball offers. He consulted with us every step, provided all possible options and respected or final decisions. I hope we never have the need to utilize his services, but are comforted knowing if the need arises, he will be fighting for us; the trust we have built is invaluable. We not only highly recommend his services, but also would not trust any other attorney for our personal injury needs. Thank you Brett.

Land Use issues are perhaps the most contentious cases that appear before City government everywhere, particularly in Laguna Beach. It's all there: expensive properties, competing interests, and challenging development standards and review.
Larry Nokes is my lawyer of choice... he has a knack of defusing hotly contested disagreements and understands the dynamics of his hometown. He has successfully assisted both myself and my clients in numerous complex and sometimes frustrating entitlement cases.
His responsiveness to my legal questions and needs is unparalleled, and his staff is friendly, efficient, and reliable.
It is with pleasure that I recommend Larry Nokes without any reservation.

Larry has been our company's "go-to" outside general council for the past 6 years. Our company manages and sells bank-owned (REO) residential properties on a nationwide basis and has sold over 55,000 properties generating proceeds in excess of $10 billion to our clients-- many of the largest banks in the country.
Although we run a tight ship, we do occasionally encounter legal issues, and Larry and his firm have been a vital resource to assist us in successfully handling the myriad of issues that have arisen.
We have established a great rapport with Larry, and he is an approachable, responsive, informed and honest attorney who I would recommend to any of my colleagues in a heart-beat.
I have worked for over 25 years as a Chief Operating Officer/Chief Financial Officer in insurance and real estate industries with many of the top law firms/lawyers in the country (as well as in the United Kingdom and Bermuda), and I consider Larry to be one of the most trusted people I have had the privilege of working with in my business career.

Mr Junicic was member of our legal team that worked on incorporation of our business in foreign jurisdiction. He communicated his findings promptly and left no question unanswered. He is very detail oriented and we had a feeling we were in good hands and with someone who knows what is he talking about. He connected with attorneys in foreign country and oversaw incorporation of our subsidiary until certification of incorporation was received. Without any doubts, we would work with him again.

I initially applied for Social Security Disability benefits and my claim was denied. I referred my case to David Allen to file an appeal and handle my case. They promptly prepared and filed the appeal, I was advised that should the matter require a formal hearing, the process could take upwards of 18 months. After only a few months, we were advised by the Social Security Administration, that upon review of the documents submitted with the appeal, they reconsidered and awarded me the benefits I was due, including retro active payment from the date of occurrence. I was impressed with both the short time it took to resolve the matter, as well as the little effort required on my part, past the initial interview/consultation. They were very professional throughout the process. For these reasons I would highly recommend them for people who could benefit from their services.

I was awarded my SSI in a very short time and was able to get my life back. With being disabled and unable to work he made it possible for me to support myself. I recommend David Allen to everyone. Thank you immensely David Allen & Associates.

CALL For Attorney Elan at The Ledger Law Firm. I am not a review kind of guy but I am taking my time to write this review because my experience with Elan has been superb. Since he took my case, he has been there for me all the time. First, he explained the whole procedure step by step because this is my first accident involving a lawyer. Second, he called to check up on my doctor's visits. Third, he was very responsive on any of my dumb questions. Lastly, I was able to experience a great financial settlement, they had my insurance company issue a check for the high blue book value on my car plus reimburse me for the accessories that I purchased on my car including tires, floor mats, prorated tags, etc.,. This is what you call full service, we are now waiting on the medical and loss of income settlement check next week which amount had exceeded our expectations. I definitely recommend Elan for any of your personal injury or accident issues you may of encountered.

After my motorcycle accident I didn't really know what to do I came across the Ledger Law Firm by sheer chance with a Google search. I'm definitely grateful for the amount of work and effort that was put into this by Elan and his team. Not only did they relieve a lot of stress and concerns they are very informative always kept me up-to-date by e-mail or directly over the phone. He and his team made this whole ordeal quite smooth I've never been in a situation like this before but if it ever happens again I'll definitely be giving Elan and his team a call

I consulted with Eric about a complex property line issue for an investment property of mine. He brought clarity to an otherwise convoluted situation. Fully understanding the situation Eric looked out for my best interest ahead of his own. An attorney with less integrity would have seen me as an earning opportunity. Instead Eric gave me great advice and saved me thousands.
Thank you Eric

If you are looking for an attorney, I HIGHLY recommend Tony Stuart. I cannot say enough good things about Tony Stuart and his work and knowledge of the law. I hired Mr. Stuart a few years ago to take on a large insurance company that I wanted to sue for fraud, misrepresention, et cetera. Tony took on my case and I was so impressed with his work, his diligence, and the way he worked with me and explained things to me. He found out amazing things in his investigations and worked hard for me. We settled out of court and Tony got me $1.7 million!
If you want a good, competent, no-nonsense, no BS attorney, I suggest you call Mr Stuart, and I say this not only as his client, but as a court reporter. I have been a deposition/court reporter in this town for over 20 years and I can say without hesitation that Mr. Stuart is one of the better attorneys I have seen get the job done.
If I ever need an attorney again, I would most definitely call him again.

We were referred to Tony, who's in LA, by an attorney that I personally knew that's local. We were extremely pleased. He worked extremely hard on our case, kept us informed along the way, worked well with witnesses, and was compassionate about my health issues. He connects well with a jury. He also does a very good job of explaining - you feel like you know what is going on every step of the way.

In the six year battle with my health insurance company over unpaid claims, I had no better ally than Tony Stuart. Through hours and hours of depositions, fruitless mediations all the way through to the final settlement negotiation, Tony stayed positive and encouraging, even when I wanted to give up. Without his hard work, attention to detail, and years of experience fighting these same cases, we would not have been able to come to an agreement that worked for both parties. I can't thank him enough for being in my corner in a fight that was almost nearly as tough as beating cancer.

My case was a civil lawsuit involving oral contract in title ownership of realestate property. I was the plaintiff. Candice Bryner along with Tumy Nguyen represented me. If you as any lawyer an oral contract which involve in realestate is very hard case to prove. But Candice and Tumy took on my case and they were very honest and strategic. The defendant was represented by a big law firm in Long Beach. As the case went on the defendant lawyers created a mount of paper work to harass me, but Candice worked day and night to protect me and she did very well with caring thoughts. After settlement was not reached, my case went to trial. As you all know going to war you must be well prepared, Candice and Tumy was very prepared and they prepared me very very well. Cut to the chase, I won my lawsuit and the jury award me ownership of my property including damages. An honest and experienced lawyer is most important when your case is difficult, Candice M Bryner and Tumy Nguyen are as best as they come.

I had a good experience with Anton and his associate attorney Emilia. I would recommend this firm. Anton is very smart and fights for his clients. He came up with a very good strategy to defend me. The firm was financially reasonable but, most importantly, they took the time for me, took my case seriously, and treated me with kindness and respect. I have been through a terrible legal ordeal and Anton gave me peace of mind and advocated successfully for my rights throughout. I have had very disappointing experiences with other attorneys in the past. So I can truly say: When one finds a good attorney it is simply golden. Highly recommended.

John Hurney is an incredible person. He is so personable, kind, and caring. It is rare to find a person with these qualities who also can drive the hard points that a lawyer must. He replies promptly, remains calm, and displays perfect control with judges and opposing counsel. I could not imagine a better experience in a time of trouble. Thanks to John Hurney, a situation I should never have been in in the first place resulted in the least amount of headache possible for me. John is a rare find, and clearly values honesty and integrity. I will never forget what he has done for me.

He and his wife became my friends. I highly recommend his if you need an attorney.

I found a consummate, professional attorney in Pratik Shah.
What could have been a second DUI from a prior wet/reckless was argued down to a first offense. I was scared of what I was facing in court, but Pratik reassured me that he would personally see to it that I face minimal consequences, but didn't sugarcoat anything either. He was very honest and communicated all possibilities and options to me.
Pratik kept me informed of all developments in my case and he was diligent in following through with everything he said he would do. In addition, he was able to answer all my questions and consistently demonstrated that my case and my issues were important to him. I highly recommend Pratik! Thank you!

I have to say that I have not had better representation from any firm I have dealt with before Mitch. Kantor and Kantor is a first class firm. Mitch handled my case Professionally and Expeditiously. I thought all was lost with my appeal before I consulted with him. From Intake to fruition of the case I was very satisfied. Please believe me that if I ever need representation again, even if it is something that Mitch cannot handle, I will trust a recommendation from him in a heartbeat. Its refreshing to know that the attorney and firm I retained cared about what was best for me and my well being. Thank you Mitch, you are really one of the good guys, you help restore my faith in attorneys.

Elizabeth Green is an exceptional attorney. When our medical insurance denied coverage for over $100,000 for our child's necessary medical treatment, Elizabeth stepped in. With her help, we appealed and secured significant reimbursement. Despite other companies specializing solely in appeals, we chose Elizabeth for her ability to craft powerful appeals and readiness to litigate if needed. Throughout the process, she demonstrated thorough preparation, compiling crucial information into a compelling brief. I highly recommend her and would enlist her services again if needed.

It's a it challenging to write a review when you can't provide specifics about the nature of our business with Elizabeth Green, but we contacted her firm at the recommendation of our doctor when our insurance provider refused to cover a medically necessicary hospital stay. The outcome was positive, and we were amazed how little we had to contribute to the process. I hope never to have to use Elizabeth Green's services again, but should I find myself being taken advantage of by my insurance provider again, we'll definetely reach out to Elizabeth Green.

Finding Richard was the best thing that could have happened to me when my claim was denied by my long term disability insurance company. it was so frustrating and scary, even, with so much on the line. His expertise, great listening skills, and calm demeanor always reassured me when we spoke. I really appreciate everything he did for me, and I know the positive outcome was a result of his knowledge and experience. I can't recommend him highly enough. You would be lucky to have him. I certainly was. Thank you again, Richard.

Mr. Johnston agreed to represent me in a retirement plan case with a former employer. He was very knowledgeable about ERISA and knew exactly what arguments to make to the judge on my behalf. Mr. Johnston was thorough in his preparation and confidently argued the key elements of my case. The judge agreed with him and he won the case for me. Mr. Johnston was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him.

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.
