I went with Anderson Hemmat LLC based off of the reviews I saw and I wasn't disappointed. Throughout the entire process they were transparent and provided realistic expectations. They honestly assisted me in every step as well and always got right back to me within 24 hours or less. The staff is great as well, I got the chance to work with a few of the lawyers on the team all great honest individuals. I would definitely give them a call.

Jason Alleman is by far the most impressive, knowledgeable, and wonderful human being I have ever known. I've met a LOT of lawyers over the years through my work, and they all met at least some or all parts of the stereotype -- boring, arrogant, even soulless. Jason stands far far FAR apart from the pack. He is happy, caring, concerned, and dedicated. He does what he does because he genuinely wants to help people, and he is SO GOOD at it. I've been so impressed by the wealth of knowledge he has and his skill in the field. I cannot recommend him enough; he is the only person I would ever go to!

I highly recommend this law firm and a special thank you to Anne Dieruf.

We were in an accident with my newborn and my husband, that caused me a lot of pain. Our car was totaled on the scene, and as you can imagine, hospital bills were STACKING up in the THOUSANDS. At first, my husband and I didn’t know what to do. Due to a connection of acquaintances, we were referred to Jordan Law to take on our case. My family and I are so grateful that we did. I got all the care I needed, I always had the support I needed, and just people who care. It’s tough to find lawyers that genuinely care about you and all the different components of having an accident, while also fighting for you. Hopefully, I don’t get into another car accident, but if I do or any of my family does, we will be going back to Jordan Law.

As a vendor, I can tell you my experience working with Kevin Tully and Jordan Law has been overwhelmingly positive. It's quite common for our legal clients to struggle with timely responses and feedback, since there are so many other priorities to address, but the team at Jordan Law and Kevin in particular have always been sure to immediately respond to requests and remain communicative. Whether they are a client of yours or you choose to retain them as legal council, rest assured that you're time will be valued and respected. I highly recommend working with Jordan Law in any and every capacity.

Greg was extremely skilled at formulating a strategy to recompense me for the vehicular assault injury that I suffered. His acumen was so helpful. His talent was obvious and sp comforting during that rough time.

I found Greg after a terrible car crash in 2001. It was the blessing I needed while dealing with a TBI and spine injury. On top of that I was on duty for USPS, which made my case very complicated. Greg was honest and caring and very professional. It wasn’t just about winning my case...it was about helping me gather a village to get back my life. When I was in another injury crash in 2014, of course I called Greg! Another complicated case, but Greg and his team got me through it. I’m doing fine today, and I just can’t be more grateful.

I am a retired police officer and as such have dealt with more attorneys than I would care to remember. My experience with Mr. Atkinson was, without a doubt, at the top of the scale. He was responsive, kept me informed and brought my case to a speedy and satisfactory conclusion.

As an Architect/Developer the past 30 years, I have had the experiance of being involved with numorous legal entiities.

Mr. Atkinson represented me for a rental property management negligence case in which I was trying to recover damages done to my rental unit by a water leak from the unit above mine. The case went to trial with a 6-member jury and several witnesses. In the end, we did not prevail, but I do believe Mr. Atkinson did the best that could be done under the circumstances. He was very prepared, spent much time developing the case, and was energetic and poised in court. I would recommend him and would work with him again if the need arose.

I can't thank you enough for what you have done for me. You were always available to answer any question that I had. Your firm went above and beyond what I had expected. I will refer your firm to anyone that would need a legal team to represent them. Molly, you and Alan fought for me, I never had much in life and you gave me hope. Just talking with the both of you reassured me that everything was going to be okay. Your good people, you care about others, if it was not for putting trust in you I would not have had the outcome that I did. Thank you so very much for everything that you did for me, it is so appreciated. God bless you both.

I can’t speak highly enough of Shafner Law and the incredible work they did for us. Alan, Allie, and Mollie were all fantastic! Our case was complex and challenging, and from the very beginning, they displayed an impressive level of expertise, dedication, and professionalism. Their team took the time to understand the nuances of our situation, guiding us through every step with patience and clarity. They made us feel truly supported throughout the entire process, answering our questions and always addressing our concerns.
Thanks to their hard work and and dedication to our case, we were able to achieve a successful outcome that exceeded our expectations. Shafner Law truly went above and beyond, and we are grateful for their commitment to justice on our behalf. If you’re looking for a legal team that combines skill with compassion, we highly recommend them hands down!

Without Alan Shafner and his team, I wouldn’t have been able to navigate the challenges and emotional toll that my case brought. I also wouldn’t have found the strength and courage within myself to face it with confidence and believe that a successful outcome was achievable.
Alan demonstrated the power of standing up for your truth and what you know is right. With his years of experience and strategic expertise, he transformed what initially seemed daunting and unattainable into a complete reality.
His unwavering support and confidence in both myself and our case were vital in helping me through periods of stress and doubt. Without his total faith and assurances, I wouldn’t have had the courage to confront this complex hurdle. He truly put in the effort, showing determination in everything he did to achieve a positive result.
Molly, Lars, and Allie were also integral to the process. They guided me every step of the way, easing my stress during especially difficult times while being incredibly empathetic, helpful, and understanding.
I will always be immensely grateful to Alan and his team for their dedication, support, and commitment to making my case a success. They helped me find the perseverance and fortitude to overcome this challenging time in my life. If it hadn’t been for Alan, I wouldn’t be sitting here today with newfound inner strength and empowerment.
Thank you so much, Alan, and to each and every person who contributed to making this possible.

I found myself a victim of roofing contractor that took my money and didn’t perform any work. County law enforcement was moving incredibly slow and I did not have strong confidence I was going to recover any of my money. I decided to hire Stuart Morse Law firm. I mostly worked with Greg on my case and I was immediately impressed with this law firm. This team of law was able to recover all the money the contractor stole from me and almost all the damages the roofing contractor created. The Stuart Morse Team did a great job! Thank you!

My family recently worked with Stuart D. Morse & Associates, LLC. It is not often that I am compelled to write a review but we felt very fortunate to have them represent us. The professionalism and communication was more than we could have asked for. Our direct contact was Gregory J. Theo. He was always there to answer questions and communicate with us on the progress of our case. I will definitely be referring your office in the future.

After Diamond Reagor - a supposed Christian company spent $10k doing a terrible job. I was incompetent for the initial hearing & Chris knowingly agreed to a child support figure that was fraudulent. Today was the case that Diamond Reagor started & couldn’t continue because they failed to protect my finances. The court date was today & they DID not ensure I was notified or that my # was in the court system. I have a daughter & son now stuck with a woman who is abusive… Maybe my turn to file a lawsuit for the mess they failed to protect me from. CLOSE DOWN PLEASE!!!!

I had no clue of the process or what to do and he helped ease that headache and most of all my anxiety and stress. I appreciated his transparency and the way he kept me informed. Great attorney/person all the way around. Thankful to have him by my side. Thank you Michael!

The staff at this law firm are so professional. I was scared and unsure of the legal process like I'm sure many people can get when dealing with legal troubles. My attorney, Refugio, really laid the process out for me step by step in a way that was easy for me to understand. I ended up getting my case dismissed. Highly recommend 10/10.

There is no better firm, skilled attorneys, or group of professionals to trust when you find yourself in crises. We are specifically talking about Nathan Osborn (Attorney), Alyson Evett (Attorney), and their team (Bonnie Hakes Finance Coordinator), Connie Streich (Paralegal), Amanda Bielak (Assistant) at Montgomery Little & Soran, PC. From day one we felt protected, on the absolute worst days we felt unconditionally supported, and until the very successful end we were completely satisfied. When you find yourself in need, and you need someone to help you, call Nathan and his firm, it will change everything. It did for us!

It has been several years ago when Ms. Palmer, as part of a larger insurance defense firm, refused to pay my entire invoice for services rendered as a professional consultant in a medical malpractice case. The amount of money left unpaid is not the point but the fact that they unilaterally made a decision without any attempt to negotiate or discuss it with me. Her excuse at the time was that the insurance adjuster refused but I found no evidence that she made any attempt to support my claim. This had not happened to me previously and has not happened since.
I would caution all professional consultant in working with her or any firm that she is associated with.

While Mr. Kitsmiller expressed knowledge of and interest in the matter, he consistently failed to respond in a timely manner and advised me nearly four weeks into our conversations that he wasn't going to be able to handle my case. Very unprofessional.

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 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.
