I reached out to Pariente Law firm for some potential legal issues I had concerns that I would be possibly facing. I called to make an appointment but my work schedule conflicts with the same time that the firm's office hours are open. Michael personally reached out to me and offered to meet me on a Saturday when the office is closed, which is extremely hard to find any attorney that would be willing to be that flexible, so I am extremely grateful for that! We sat down and I explained to him my situation, and he offered me his advice, which felt like a weight lifted off of my shoulders. With his 20+ years of experience as an attorney, I felt as ease knowing that this is the exact person I need to go to if my legal issues were ever to come up.

When you find yourself in need of a criminal defense attorney your whole world is upside down. You have made a serious mistake or a series of them. To get your world back to reality call Michael Pariente. I never knew there were lawyers like Mike. He is an amazing human being. He is immediately available any time. He handles your case like he is the one in trouble. He took my potential felony case with a mandatory two year minimum sentence back to a misdemeanor with no jail or prison time. All he cared about was getting me the best outcome possible. He really cares about you as a person and is such a nice guy. he likes to curse, so don't be distracted, LOL. I do too, so we got along great. Don't get excited when you hear the fee. Just pay it and be glad he 's taking your case. You will not be disappointed. Thanks Mike, and John. You really, and maybe literally, saved my life. I don't think I could have done 2 years in prison. What you do really does matter to your clients. We are scared to death. You take that fear away and get us a fair shake in front of the justice system. Thanks for everything.

My Father passed unexpectedly and thought he had his estate taken care of because he paid for his funeral in advance and had assigned an administrator/power of attorney to handle his affairs. The nightmare began about 30 days from his death when the administrator my Dad had assigned failed at his duties. From lies and misinformation that cost me thousands of dollars and having to move out of the house, storage fees as well mis-filed paperwork. When it was apparent that the administrator was in over his head and the estate was going nowhere with threats of foreclosure and the integrity of any assets that my Father had worked so hard to pass down, the decision to call Lee Drizin was made. From day one Mr. Drizins firm took control of the mess on hand and navigated the probate process seamlessly. Janine @ Drizin Law is an asset you cannot put a price on. The absolute best communication I've ever encountered in all my 53 years on this planet. From explaining this difficult and confusing process to her countless 2 minute email replies, her dedication and service to her job and her customers is unmatched. The best advice I could ever give to anyone is to establish a trust for your estate if you care that your wishes be carried out after your death AND call Lee Drizin to handle the process for you. You will not be disapointed!

There's a reason Lee Drizin is so highly rated on Google, and it's because he is a really good attorney.
I'm a young woman, still in college, and when my mother passed unexpectedly and suddenly, I wasn't sure what to do to handle her estate and everything that comes after someone passes. I found Mr Drizin on Google, and it has been history ever since. Him and his team are constantly available to answer any questions one may have during the entire process, and he has steamlined the entire thing to be as painless and direct as possible. It is not easy at all, as there are so many accounts nowadays that people can have, but I was always directed to who exactly to contact and what to do.
My advise is twofold to anyone going through the probate process after the loss of a loved one: one, use Lee Drizin, and two, make sure to keep on top of all you have to do on your part to get paperwork and documents. These are the best ways to make it as painless as you can.
I also want to thank Mr Drizin and his team for also suggesting an accountant to help with the final tax documents, which also smoothed the process. With decades of experience, it clearly shows in everything Mr Drizin does to run his attorney's office. I cannot recommend him enough. I'm not sure how the other attorneys compare, but I can guarantee that he knows his stuff and gets it done here.

We have had the pleasure of working with Joe Riccio and his staff recently for our son's divorce. He was 21 when he got married, and was married in CA, where his ex still resides. We weren't sure if two states being involved would be tricky. Joe knew exactly what needed to happen, and when, to benefit our son, and our case. His expertise was very apparent in our consultation. The whole staff was incredible. Each person that had a hand in this, was extremely professional, empathetic, and always answered our questions in a timely fashion! There was also tons of communication, which can be lacking with some firms. The process went very smooth, and was resolved much quicker than anyone expected, given the circumstances. We cannot thank Joe and his staff enough for their dedication to our family in getting this matter resolved! I would use Marathon Legal again in a heartbeat! Lisa and family

I was referred by a fellow attorney to Riley Clayton to help one of my clients with a potential issue regarding insurance coverage. I was absolutely blown away by his responsiveness, eloquence, and his generosity, not only with me but with my client. He is incredibly well-versed in the area, and, from a handful of emails and a short call, it's obvious why he's so highly regarded by his colleagues. Both my client and I feel such relief knowing Riley is helping us navigate this complex issue.

Definitely the worst patent attorney I have ever experienced in my 60 years of life. I paid over $20,000 to this office for an application and waited 7 years. I was so excited to see my application patented, but the attorney sent me an email through his staff notifying me that the application was abandoned because a few hundred dollars were due to the patent office. The attorney had promised to take care of the fee, but that was not the case. What an unethical office. I do not recommend this office to anyone.

In the beginning we thought this was a great place since it’s a nice building , clean , nice workers , went there to get a TRUST done .. well , time went by and we weren’t receiving our property tax bill so we called the number to find out why and they said that the zip code that was recorded was wrong that we needed to go back to the lawyers to correct it - well, come to find out the paralegal put 2 different zip codes on 2 different forms so it screwed the deed up anyway we went to the lawyers to correct it he said it should take couple days to get done .. we waited couple weeks , left messages for the them to find out when we could pick up the forms nobody returned our call so couple days later we just went to the office to find out what’s going on and the lawyer said you can’t just come down here without an appointment and expect us to see you .. that upset me ! We said that we tried calling and nobody called us back he says oh that’s when our phones weren’t working ?? A lawyers firm phones not working and his cell phone not working since we called both previously really ! .. told him it’s been a month now and the paperwork hasn’t been done so we went on our way and about 2 weeks later they called to pick it up finally .. Just very unprofessional place very disappointed bad customer service

Velisa is a SCAM ARTIST. WAY OVER PRICED, EXTORTED ME FOR $700 on TOP of $500 upfront fee. DO NOT USE HER.
Told me I’d owe nothing then told to pay upfront 500$ then told to file extension because it would be late filing then said I owed $700 more to get me to owe nothing and held me hostage for $700 to complete my paperwork I didn’t even make 24k this year so I knew something was wrong and asked for a refund I was told I’d be refunded by the office then the owner called and said they didn’t do refunds and my taxes were too complex which is silly I had a mileage tracker everything was easy and under 150$ with a different service. DO NOT USE THIS PLACE. Reported them and now I have to file a lawsuit on them for my money back avoid scam and extortion. Not sure how they got 4.8 stars I’d give them -5 stars if possible

I can’t thank Russell Gubler enough for going above and beyond. Russell helped us get a frivolous contractor lien taken off our property. He handled this seamlessly. Fast forward, Several months, and the property is under contract. The title company couldn’t discern whether a previous, unrelated lien, was still on the property. This lien was generated years earlier during the Bohmer scandal here in Vegas. I called Russell, not realizing it was the previous unscrupulous contractors lien, and he handled everything. He got directly on the phone, and contacted the title company, and then walked the title company representative through the paperwork. It turns out, it was a filing error on the part of the recorder. Agnes, his go to office girl, was also indispensable in this process. Thanks to her, as well, for great communication. Just Wonderful!

Mr Onello charged 30k but simply did not do his job for the amount he charged. The divorce got dragged out much longer than it supposed to because Mr Onello wanted to charge maximum for the minimum work he did. At the end, I had to file my own forms because he was asking for more after I paid 30k. The case is listed as Cassel vs Cassel in Clark county so this is a legit one star review. Avoid at all cost.
One last point I want to make. Mr Onello spends more time removing one star reviews than actually working so I would assume all the 5 star reviews are not legit. Don't fall for false reviews like I did.

Val Fujii and paralegal Theresa were the best decision I ever made. I went thru a long drawn out divorce and ugly custody battel over 5 children which took a few years to finalize. Val was always on top of all the situation's that arose, with Theresa right by her side following up on everything. She was always a top notch professional in court and I am very proud of the results. I would highly recommend her.

Worth at least three times what I paid them (how often do you hear that after a divorce settlement?)
Totally knowledgeable and in-the-know.
Couldn't have had a better outcome.

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.
