Lynn was referred to me by a friend of a friend after I was in a serious car accident caused by an uninsured, negligent driver. We spoke via phone a number of times, and she took the time to research the background of the parties involved and to develop a plan of action for me which was clear, concise, and achievable. I can’t stress enough how thankful I was for her advice and expertise at a time when I really needed an advocate. She was there for me at no charge.

I would highly recommend Leon Davis to represent you in any matter. Leon is very personable, knowledgeable, detail oriented and easy to contact. He took on my case and fought hard to resolve the matter with a tremendous outcome. Without having Leon on my side, I am certain my outcome would have taken a turn for the worst. Again, Leon is a great guy/lawyer and I would not have anyone else represent me if needed in the future.

A year ago, I had the pleasure of working with Kevin on an injury case after a car crash. Kevin is an outstanding lawyer, extremely professional, competent, and most of all ethical. I was amazed at how consistently Kevin put my best interests first. The integrity he has and the ethical practice that he exemplifies are truly impressive; I’m sure I don’t have to tell you just how valuable that is in this field. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy and competent injury lawyer.

Thanks, Brian

Wish to highly recommend Nicholas Ruble and Megan Stumph-Turner for their excellent work during my recent contract lawsuit and employment mediation. Through a year of fact-finding, conflict negotiation, and client representation, they managed several particularly challenging issues with an impressive measure of professionalism and effectiveness. Their legal skill was equally matched by a unique blend of encouragement, good humor, and personal support.
This combination of technical skill and individual attention allowed me to focus on getting my life back in order - while they managed the intricacies of my case. I was very satisfied with the result, and I highly recommend their legal services for your contract, HR, or financial issues. Nick and Megan - thank you!

I was incredibly fortunate to have chosen this law firm to handle my employment-related case, with Megan R. Stumph-Turner and Nicholas S. Ruble representing me. Their profound impact has positively transformed my life.
From our initial conversation, their support and understanding were exceptional, significantly easing my burdens. They skillfully managed every detail of my case, providing a reassuring sense of security throughout. Megan and Nick bring a rare blend of diligence, intelligence, and tenacity to their work—qualities you might expect from characters in a movie.
What stood out the most was their absolute integrity. They were fully transparent, regularly updating me on both the progress of my case and the financial aspects involved. Their communication was flawless, ensuring I felt safe and at peace from the start, without the need for constant check-ins.
Their representation felt serendipitous, swiftly resolving a longstanding issue within months. My only regret is not hiring them sooner.
My confidence in this law firm is unshakeable for any future legal needs, and I eagerly await the chance to collaborate with Megan and Nick again should the occasion arise. They served as true guardian angels during a pivotal moment in my life, effecting a deep and meaningful transformation. Their unparalleled professionalism and sincere compassion have completely reshaped my expectations of legal services, establishing an exceptionally high standard.

Some people don't like lawyers. But when they're working for you, it's a different story!
Luke Whitworth and his law firm SWL Injury Law came to my rescue.
These amazing men helped restore my confidence and my sense of belonging to this world. They intently listened to me. They were kind and respectful and always communicated back within a timely manner. They settled my nerves with each phone call. It was a beautiful thing to feel in the midst of pain.
If you think something is not right and you’ve been injured CALL THESE COWBOYS! I say cowboys because they know how to wrangle the law in favor of their clients! 😉
Much love and light to this law firm.

It’s incredible when you talk with other shops they are quick to try and take your business but have no idea what they are doing. Not these guys. Absolutely amazing service but more so the knowledge base and competence made me Know they were going to get the job done and they are amazing. The legal system is always tough but they made it so easy and painless in an otherwise brutal time I would recommend to anyone thinking about it to go with big J and his team!

Your efforts meant so much to me and was very important to my validation as a human being. We discussed all these wonderful things you did and your quality traits all the way home. It meant a lot to us and we will never forget what you have done for us. Sincerely, and with much appreciation, thank you!

Preston, I feel took advantage of me and my family during a very difficult time in my life and milked money out of us for as long as he could. My divorce took almost 3 years to complete. Cost $40,000, I didn't get anything I wanted in my divorce such as equal split time with my children and even the stuff/property I was due to receive from the divorce I didn't get. Also, because of Preston demanding I be at all court dates I was fired from my job for missing to much work. Yet, funny thing is the last court date "child support" he said I didn't need to attend. An wouldn't you know... jobless and broke my child support was raised from 475 to 1500 a month. Then he had the nerve to tell me he was resigning as my lawyer, from this case. I would never recommend him or this law firm to anyone. Go with someone cheaper and willing to go to bat for you as there client. Something I feel Preston never did for me.

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.
