A few years ago I contacted Ms. Djordjeski as a recommendation from a friend for some house leasing issues I was having. She was hired by my husband and I to review our lease and help settle some disputes between us and our landlord at the time. She was super educated, eloquent and down to business. Ms. Djordjeski reviewed our information in a timely manner and handled our case, no matter how minor, with diligence for the law. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

My family sought Elena’s assistance with a complex & lengthy legal matter that appeared to have no end in sight. Elena’s tactful yet aggressive approach proved efficient as we quickly came to a resolution that helped us recoup our losses. She is an excellent communicator and negotiator and I would certainly retain her in the future if the need arises.

I contacted Mr. Dunlap in 2011 about a Land Contract deal that was going bad and my very first conversation he was ready to fight for me and when you are being taken advantage of and are feeling lost this is the kind of attorney you need instead of speaking with a attorney that drags and try to find out if you did something wrong he was on my side immediately and I have used his services ever since and has not lost yet! No one will take advantage of you with Mr. Dunlap.

Words cannot explain what a great Lawyer Amanda Paletz makes or what a great person she is. This world is truly a better place with defense attorneys such as Amanda defending the innocent. She is so unbelievable and personable with all the time and hard work she put into my case. I also thank her family for being so understanding while she worked around the clock, on holidays and yes even weekends. I cannot thank her enough or will she ever know how grateful my family and myself are to have had her in my corner fighting for me. I look up to her so much having tremendous respect for her. It brings tears of joy to my family and I how she defended me, believed in me and trusted me. Raymond Cassar Law firm and all of his hard working staff are top notch and one of a kind! They make you feel like family. Thank you again and I am so thankful to everyone that prayed for me and helped me out, for being a shoulder to lean on and just there to listen.

Mr. VanGemert was knowledgable and tenacious. I had been to a lawyer previously with whom I had been very unhappy. Mr. VanGemert not only expedited the case but I was very pleased with the outcome. Well worth the money.

My husband and I were in a situation where our former landlord was trying to scam us out of tens of thousands of dollars of unjustified fees. Unsure of how to respond, we hired Andrew; from the minute he took on our case, he acted confidentially and ethically to prove the facts did not match the landlord's claims. In just a few short weeks, Andrew settled our case. I can't reiterate enough how much stress and anxiety Andrew saved us during this time. Andrew handles the tough stuff for you, gets right to the facts, keeps the client informed, and does everything he can to make sure justice is served. Hire Andrew for your next case- you will not be disappointed!

Working with the Sam Bernstein Law Firm has been one of the best experiences I have encountered when it comes to law firms. Extremely professional, quick to get situations moving. If I had a question it was answered within one phone call, thats how easy The Sam Berstien Law Firm makes it. I would like to send a special thanks to Justin Cole, Chenney Ward and several others that helped me through the process and taking care of any situations that had risen. I would HIGHLY recommend The Sam Bernstein Law Firm to anyone as they treated me like family all the way. Thank you, Jason

I broke my neck in 3 places when hit by a drunk driver. He had no insurance and was already on a tether for another drunk driving incident. The sam Bernstein law office took my case and helped me every step of the way. They represented me against the uninsured motorist portion of my insurance company. They kept me informed and I received a fair settlement. I highly recommend them.

Me and my son Michael, cannot, thank Michael Fabian & Jason Liss enough, for their outstanding work in our homeowners claim against State Farm. Fabian & Liss worked with us and were relentless in pursuit of justice. It was a long, treacherous road for our family, both financially and emotionally, with all State Farms dirty tricks, stalling, lying, appealing each win and dragging it out. In the end our champions for justice came through! During the whole process, they went above and beyond the call of duty, reassuring me and helping me to get through it. What really impressed me most about these guys was their attention to detail, and their patience in explaining the process to me, while I was in an emotional state. They made a stressful situation more bearable. Their professionalism, expertise and dedication to my case was evident every step of the way. If You are battling an unreasonable, duplicitous, underhanded insurance company, then I highly recommend Fabian, Skyler, King & Liss for top notch legal representation to go after these dirty rotten scoundrels. They will win for you.

I worked with Richard Hogg after my injuries and he always strived to get the results I deserved. Richard called and emailed me very timely and made sure I understood each process as we went through them. He is considerate and it was very apparent he worked hard and dug deep to ensure the best outcome. I highly recommend working with this law office if you are facing difficulty with workmen's comp. All the paperwork and correspondence is not overwhelming. You will be heard as a human and treated kindly. I am very grateful for all the hard work.

My husband and I sought help for his worker’s compensation case after dealing with a career ending, on the job injury, for nearly 3 years without resolution; even after enduring every single demand they requested of him, both pre and post surgery. Several attorneys had informed us they believed best case scenario would be for him to take social security disability, that is, until we met Alex. Alex was compassionate, understanding and really took the time to listen to our extremely complex case; a case we were told was completely different than 98% of the cases he’s done in his 40 years of experience. While both Alex and my husband had hoped for a larger, more accommodating settlement from a well known municipality, we were pleased with the outcome, our ability to move forward with our lives and starting the journey for a new career, for my husband. Alex is a man who genuinely cares about his clients and their best interests, all while being honest, kind and upfront. His paralegal, Caitlin, was also exceptional relaying messages, answering questions, gathering sensitive information and doing it all with an overwhelming sense of kindness. We would highly recommend Alex and his team to anyone dealing workers compensation and the terrible stressors that can ensue. We could never properly express our gratitude for this law firm and its staff, who we now consider family; without all of you, we would still be spinning our wheels in neutral. An infinite amount of thank yous from the bottom of our hearts. God Bless you all,
Tim & Stephanie Kempinski

I and my mom consulted Mr. Head for assistance with an estate concern that included the complexities of multiple properties in multiple states, a decedent's (father's) potential probate, and living trusts that were complicated by socio-generational issues related to 1st generation Americans.
Though VERY late in offering this endorsement, I want to share that he was a consummate professional, was highly knowledgeable, kind, empathetic, and had the insight to recognize what might need the assistance of other expertise outside of his wheelhouse. I found his character and engagement to be of the highest order and I can't thank him or highly recommend him enough. Abet late, I highly recommend and support Mr. Shawn Head for any of your needs for relevant legal expertise.

Due to the powers at be i can not leave a negative start, this guy does not deserve one at all. I have not been a client but from the horror story i heard from my sister in law I do not want this lazy man representing me in a traffic matter. Tragedy struck my sister in law about a year and a half ago. After the claim was settled it seemed mr Kelly did not do the following up a lawyer should do, things where misappropriated left out and disregarded on her personal property that left out thousands of dollars of things that should have been recovered, this is very costly to a client in matters like this the insurance company already depreciates a lot of your items to the lowest price possible. When descriptions and items are incorrectly put in the inventory list makes it very difficult on receiving the correct amount of funds a client should receive to a life changing event to someones living situation, no-one is ever made whole by an insurance company a good lawyer recovers as much as the policy limit allows. And from the experience of my sister in law this was done and when trying to correct this issue mr Kelly ignored her put her on back burner and flat out not responsive. If this is the actions of a good lawyer mr Kelly is your man but in my opinion he needs to be more in touch with clients through out the whole claim process.

Ray practically saved my life, put me on a path to better myself and I can’t thank him enough for it. I love that he cares deeply! I had 2 previous attorneys before I met Ray who didn’t do anything for me, didn’t give me the right direction, I was a train wreck. Ray gave me my life back! I recommend him as an attorney, he will not give up on you, and you need to be willing to not give up on yourself for him to work with you. Thank you Ray so much for helping me with my case and most importantly, myself. God bless you!

I made an appointment with Mr. Rubinstein during a very challenging time. From our first meeting he was professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. He agreed without hesitation to help me fight the injustice I was facing. He was always available to answer my questions and address my concerns with clarity and patience explaining everything in terms I could understand. His fee is reasonable, something I greatly appreciated. I am confident new clients to this firm would have the same positive experience that I did and therefore I highly recommend him and his staff to resolve any legal issues you may be facing.

He is just a wonderful amazing attorney you can have for custody and divorce cases. Very skillful and clever , he did save my son and our life . He is always there for us whenever I need him even through difficult times he makes sure he is available. I can’t thank him enough for working so hard to fight for me and my boys as our life is now much better than before.

Mr. Ellman is a very capable, results-oriented attorney. I hired him to assist my mother, who had been the victim of several fraudulent transactions. He used his considerable experience and real estate acumen to obtain a repayment commitment secured by liens on several properties. He was responsive, energetic and personable in handling the matter, and I would gladly retain him for additional work.

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.

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.

- 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.
