My Attorney Lyn Roman, of Roman Law, I have to say it was a Pleasure to have had this Young Lady representing me. She maybe young, attractive, and well mannered but, she can be quite articulate and fearless. With her knowledge of the Law and the previously mentioned she has the right equation to win for you. Lyn is Definitely the right attorney for any challenge that may come her way, she immediately attacks the matter at hand. I have worked with others that procrastinate, Lyn is the opposite of these others. I would Recommend her to anyone as a Top Notch Counselor that will not let you down. Without getting in to specifics Lyn kept me informed of my case and won BIG for me!

I was fortunate enough to be referred to Ms. Roman from a friend regarding a legal matter involving an insurance case for my elderly mother. Upon contacting Ms. Roman, she took the time to carefully listen to our issues and promptly found a legal solution to the problem. She always returned my phone calls and answered any questions that arose throughout the legal process. Not only is Ms. Roman a true professional, but she displayed real compassion while dealing with my elderly mother. As a veteran law enforcement officer, I have met many attorneys throughout my career; however, none with the passion to ensure that her clients finds a viable resolution to their legal issues.
I highly recommend Ms. Roman to anyone who is in need of legal counsel.

Lyn was highly recommended to me because of my insurance company's unwillingness to cover the complete cost of repairs as a result of damage by hurricane Irma to my home. I was skeptical but I called her and was immediately struck by her honesty, friendliness, transparency and professionalism. I decided to retain her because I felt assured that she would be able advocate on my behalf and successfully settle with the insurance company for an amount that was fair. It took a while, but because I knew she was trying her best, I had to exercise some patience. Needless to say, we settled with my insurance company for an amount that allowed me to make every repair that was necessary. I'm not one to write reviews but Lyn absolutely deserves to be given a chance to represent you. I assure you that you wouldn't be disappointed. I will recommend her without any reservation!
Thank you so much Lyn for your patience with me as well!!!!

I hire Michael for a slip and fall where I had knee surgery. He got me a great result. My wife and I couldn't be any more happy with the work him and his team did. It was nice to have a lawyer who was always available to talk to me. I was nervous because it looked liked we were going to trial but we settled right before. Thanks!

Michael and his firm were wonderful since the very beginning of the case. I was referred to his firm from another law office and Michael and his firm were wonderful and caring! The lawyers were actually available and would pick up my phone calls to talk to me unlike other law offices I had dealt with in the past where they were always "busy" or "away from their desk." Thank you for helping me!

I was injured in an auto accident and was recommended to hire Linda Sweeting. She was attentive, fast-acting and was on top of my case to insure that I would receive my compensation as quickly as possible.
I was happy to find out she wasn't an "ambulance chaser." She's a decent lawyer and I would recommend her to colleagues, family and friends.

EVERYONE at this office are cream of the crop! I had the best experience with Matt Pardy. After a car accident I was in horrible pain and soon after I lost both my parents I was a mess. Matt was so kind and went above and beyond to get me amazing treatment for my injuries and he really was my savior. He was there through the loss of my mother and was so patient and kind. He sat through tear filled calles assuring me everything will be ok and I cant thank him enough for that!!! I felt like I was priority One! To have an attorney answer every question no matter how situational is so helpful! I never felt ignored like some others do to there clients! I was treated like I was his only case! I cant recommend Matt Pardy enought you'll be takencare of!!!

Mr. Clark received a fantastic result on my behalf in a construction related matter. He was very informed on the law and the actual construction process. As someone in the construction industry, it was refreshing to speak with someone that understood the interworking’s of a construction project. Mr. Clark kept me informed throughout the process and was there when questions arose even if that meant discussing the case late in the evening. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an aggressive and sharp but honest attorney.

My partner and I were in a precarious position with a third partner who tried to steal our largest client. Although other transaction attorneys were involved, it was not until James Tanner, a true litigator, got involved that we received an injunction blocking the partner from breaking our bylaws. Mr. Tanner was not only professional, but got the defendant to blatantly admit to the judge that he was in breach of the by-laws through his superior skills in cross examination and in getting the truth revealed. I would recommend him to any individual or business. He possesses a vast knowledge base and experience level in many different areas of the law.

Mr. Brennan has won cases that 99% of the lawyers would lose and created more case law favorable to victims than any other lawyer that I know. He is approachable, competent, and aggressive. I have brought him in on many cases and get immediate results when the insurance companies see his name associated with the file. When you get a complicated case and need a lawyer, call the lawyer that lawyers refer to when they have a complicated case. Call Web Brennan.

Web treated my case with dignity, compassion, respect, and is extremely knowledgeable. Web is the total package!
I was seriously injured several years ago and had the honor of having Web Brennan take my case. The first time meeting him was with my parents. We were in awe of how he conducted himself as he was not the average ‘lawyer’ we expected to meet. Instead of taking advantage of us in the time crisis he gently and politely explained how to proceed without being forceful. He is truly unique, humorous, and the ultimate professional!

I honestly can’t say enough about this law firm and all the people who work there, it’s a true team and family vibe. Everyone pitches in to support you as a person, to work hard on your case and to try their best to get you Justice.
They work so diligently to effectively communicate with you every single step of the way. Attention to detail and kindness, infinite amounts of both knowledge and passion for their clients, cases and causes.
Professional but relatable NOT stuffy which is so important, I wanted to be a part of my case and understand everything and have a say, not just be a person in a chair that is talked about, and talked at but never talked to…and they delivered! I was included in everything and most importantly I WAS HEARD by my amazing team of professionals especially my lawyer Matthew Carney who was literally amazing!! He passionately defended me when opposing counsel was coming at me disrespectfully. He fought hard and was realistic with me and always told me the hard truths in the nature of my case. I honestly have never felt more confident putting something so important into the hands of others before but they handled my case as if it were their own. I will be forever grateful to every single person in that office that I got to know and who got to know me. I will FOREVER recommend them to anyone and everyone in need of legal representation because honestly they have a special brand, a special formula which makes them successful and that is to treat every client like they are the only client they have. I spoke with my lawyer twice as much as I spoke to his wonderful paralegal Stephanie, he never passed me off to assistants to handle what were probably textbook questions and concerns but instead he chose to handle them himself and made himself easily accessible via text, email and phone calls.
I am a lot and bless him, he handled me with so much kindness and concern, everyone in the whole firm that I interacted with did. I can’t say enough! If more people in the world were like the members of this law firm, the world would be such an amazingly kind, considerate, and safe place. If trust, compassion, communication, knowledge, skill, passion and experience are important to you when choosing a law firm to handle your most important legal situations, THIS is the law firm for you, hands down!

Matthew, took an my highly complicated case. (I had previously hired, several other attorneys from T.V)., and they failed to get me any results.
Matthew fought hard and long; putting his 150% into resolving my case. My personal injury case, was complicated due to the misfortune of obtaining attorneys that promised me the stars. These attorneys wanted the results now, they were not willing to fight for me and my rights.
I was blessed to have found Matthew and Carey and Leisure. When, my case was settled after 4 years, due to the negligence of the prior attorneys. Matthew was able to get me a more than fair, settlement.
Matthew helped obtain my dreams and many miracles. Not, only did Matthew put his 150% into my case; he and the Carey and Leisure Firm treated me and my family with respect, kindness, and when I did not understand some legal issues; Matthew took the time to explained my case thoroughly.
If you are thinking about picking up the phone and calling an attorney that you have seen on television. PLEASE "STOP". I know from experience that, you will become a number, NOT a name or a person. I urge you to pick up the phone and call Matthew and The Carey and Leisure Firm.
Thank you Matthew and The Carey and Leisure Firm, for changing my life. God Bless!!

Attorney Russell Dohan just handled a tragic accident involving one of our family members. It was resolved quickly and the firm was so easy to work with. It was the best case scenario. If you are looking for a personal injury firm and want to feel like you are getting personal service vs being just a case number (among the big firms) this is a great firm.

Through my years I have dealt with several different attorneys. Russell Dohan is the professional attorney that I have ever dealt with. Russell reasearched all aspects of my case, he kept me well informed about everything going on. Both in the court room and out he is very professional, curtious, respectful, etc. I can not say enough good about him, so if you are looking for an attorney that will work with you on your case then he is your man. If not for his dillegence on my case I would not have ended up with the settlement that I received, which I am very happy with.
As far as I am concerned you can not get any better attorney for personal injury then Russell Dohan and his staff.

I have been represented by Mr. Ponsoldt in two separate cases with excellent results. The first case was settled out of court thanks to his unique suggestions that allowed both parties to benefit. The second case culminated in a two week jury trial that Mr. Ponsoldt won and allowed me to close a very painful chapter in my life. Mr. Ponsoldt and his staff were always supportive and honest and created a very trusting relationship. I would highly recommend Mr. Ponsoldt to anyone.

I would like to share the wonderful experience I had with The law firm of Jeffrey Hensley. His law office was both kind and professional. Shelbi is a hard working, kind and understanding person who is dedicated to her work. She always answered any question I had with compassion. Mr Hensley should be commended for his dedication to his clients as a person first and not as simply people to charge. He and his office are truly dedicated to helping people which is becoming something that you are seeing less of today. If you need any kind of legal help please call Mr. Hensley. I am not a paid person of any kind so if this review sounds like it I am simply overwhelmed by the generosity , kindness and compassion that has been given to me in a very difficult and scary time in my life due to some serious health issues. Thank you again Mr Hensley and Shelbi!

I am not one to post comments, however I have worked with Alan Nisberg for many years now and have the highest respect for Alan’s work ethics and skills as a lawyer. He has always made himself available to answer questions and address concerns. I believe Alan’s clients are his top priority and his attention to detail is unmatched, giving me the confidence I need when defending complex liability claims or involved in complex fraud investigations.
I highly recommend Alan Nisberg to anyone needing a high level of defense of complex litigation issues.

We worked with Mark on a contract issues with a home builder and their in house lender. The mortgage company was blatantly violating the law and attempting to keep a large portion of our money that wasn't theirs. We were worried such a complex antitrust matter would take years to resolve... However, Mark met with us and provided a timely and in-dept analysis which clearly determined the lender was violating the law, allowing us the terminate the agreement immediately. The lender conceded and agreed to refund us. Having Mark saved us tens of thousands in up-front costs, not to mention over 100k in a predatory interest rate. Working in the legal field, I have worked with dozens of attorneys in the past. Mark is by far the most honest, responsive, and considerate attorney I've met.
He and his staff are incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and honest. I will be referring him to anyone who needs a contracts, litigation, or business law attorney!

My firm is a small business provider of IT services which had a service agreement with a large enterprise client. The client, in our opinion, breached the agreement and refused to pay the balance of the term. I hired a firm that I believed to be experienced in complex cases/contract law to file the complaint. After 9 months and spending tens of thousands of dollars with no satisfactory results, I terminated the original counsel. I posted my case with the Florida Bar Referral Service to find a trusted attorney. I connected with Mark Osherow of Osherow, PLLC. Mr. Osherow is a Florida Bar Board Certified Business Litigation Lawyer since 2006. Mr. Osherow took the time to fully understand the nuances and technicalities of our services and claims. The defendant originally made low offers to settle. In 5 months, Mr. Osherow and his team masterfully and successfully settled my case. I wholeheartedly recommend Osherow PLLC.

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.

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.
