They are an awesome group. They will make sure they would stop working for you till you would get settlement. Their large staff always are working together for their clients. They are the best. Since I had my own car (more than 20 years), they always represented me.

Over the past 35 years, Mr. Fuchs has demonstrated to be one of the few attorneys I have dealt with that is truly honest and trustworthy. His knowledge in law is exceptional and his wit is helpful even in the courtroom. Mr. Fuchs and I have won two major jury cases together against very large attorney firms. I have witnessed John's experience in legal complaints, responses, court motions and witness examinations. His skill in depositions is better than any movie skit a Hollywood writer could create. Being a Plaintiff in LA Superior Court and a Defendant in San Diego Federal court against the largest firm in SD, John beat up the two attorneys winning by unanimous jury decision and 11-1 in LA case. John helped me defeat a preferred shareholder attempts to take over my large business. If you wish more details please talk to John and get my number I will give greater in depth detail as to the ability and skills of Mr. Fuchs in court and in many other legal issues relating to business matters and corporate matters.

There are many process servers in Los Angeles. With so many options, some are very good and others are really bad. I found Ace to be outstanding. With 30 years experience, Ace’s Jeff Levine is a pro at serving difficult to serve defendants. I am very impressed.

I've been working with Eisenberg Law Group, and my experience so far has been excellent! My case manager, Stephanie, has been very supportive and attentive throughout the process.

They take on too many cases, promise you the world, and then pressure you to settle. I spent six months in a wheelchair six weeks in a hospital and had to take medicine designed to be taken for a couple of months every day of my life to walk, for an incomplete paralyzation. After everything was said and done I lost $60,000. Catherine, who was my attorney would constantly not return my calls and have her husband call me. When you ask for a copy of your file, they refuse to give it to you. I had written them a good review just to get them to leave me alone as the pressure was relentless. Do yourself a favor and run in the other direction that is if you still can.

I can't say enough great things about them. I had a very serious accident with multiple fractures. They immediately put me at ease. They've been doing this for several years. They have former insurance adjusters, they really know how to deal with insurance companies.
Anna is so knowledgeable & very caring. So patient! She explains everything thoroughly & is very well informed.
She's genuinely concerned with our health & stays in touch for updates. She always responds quickly with emails, etc. They offer guidance with finances & help set you up w advisors. I could go on & on! They're genuinely out to help people & get justice. The office staff are always really friendly & quick to assist.
Any negative connotations about lawyers, are non existent here. Impeccable all around.

David Zolkin helped my company through a chapter 11 restructuring. He was kind, considerate, and went above and beyond.
Is he $$$, yes. Does $$$ mean better? In this case, absolutely. We had 0 problems, mishaps, or difficulties with our case. It went smoothly. Beautifully. As beautiful as a giant mountain of stress can be.
The mountain turned into a hill. The hill into a plain. And finally, our company was able to make the much needed change with the freed up cashflow from the stay, and from the debt restructure.
If you're in doubt. Do it. I WISH I would have done it sooner. Don't be me. Just call.

If you found yourself with a lawyer that promises you the world and promises top notch service just to be uncontactable after you paid the retainer, then you are in the same boat as me.
I had another lawyer before coming to David Zolkin in a last ditch effort to save my company. The other lawyer was simply uncontactable after i paid the retainer. Their secretary would always take a message but i would never get a call back. And creditors don't wait. They are super scary and not being able to get a hold of your lawyer is super frustrating.
Long story short. I cancelled the other useless lawyer and came to David Zolkin for some real help.
David is a very kind and patient lawyer. He will not sell you the most expensive product unless he feels you really need it. He took the time to understand me and my business and we worked out a way without having to go through chapter 11. which would be really expensive and a win for the lawyer.
Instead we focused on renegotiating with the creditors and to get some breathing room.
David will be by your side. Not only that he will give you his person cell number and you can contact him anytime. And by anytime i mean anytime. He will always pick up and answer your text.
He is truly a diamond lawyer and i can only recommend him to anyone that needs a lawyer for credit related issues.

Martin is extremely knowledgeable about the law and attentive to detail. From the first day that I contacted Martin, he understood my point of view, explained to me the laws that pertained my case and set the right expectations before he took on my case. After hiring Martin as my attorney, I wrote a very detailed statement about my case and with that Martin wrote a very accurate statement and demand letter honoring my story to be presented. He was very responsive and communicative through out the whole process, he would share with me everything I needed to know before proceeding to next steps and would make sure I was ok with it before making a next move. My case came to an agreement through out Mediation with the best result I could possibly get not only because I knew my own case very well but because Martin prepared me for it and was there with the best legal advice and legal service to provide. I am very grateful that I was referred to contact Martin and I hired him as my attorney. He is everything a lawyer should be in our day and age. Thank you Martin, for taking on my case!

I would definitely recommend Martin Gattas to anyone who is looking to have great representation on their side.

Yes, I'm a California lawyer and yes, my disability insurance company gaslighted me and made my head spin when I filed a disability claim after 25 years of intense litigation and trial work. I needed a lawyer.
Ritsa and Matt met and exceeded my expectations in terms of service, quality of legal representation, and results.
Ritsa's expertise and advocacy afforded me peace of mind and compelled my private insurance company to honor its promises to pay benefits when I clearly qualified.
A year later, Ritsa continues to follow up with me as a courtesy.
I humbly offer her my highest recommendation.

when I got into a car accident - all I wanted was to go see a doctor to get rid of my back pain but not all doctors accept patients from a car accident. - I called Iris and she got me assigned to a doctor right away. The doctors she sent me were really good. She took genuine care of my health and checked up on me to make sure that the treatment was working.
No need to follow up with her - she is always on top of the case.
I'd hire her again - but hopefully I don't get into any accidents in the future :)

Richard is a great lawyer. He handles cases with the utmost care and concern. He also returns telephone calls and responds to his own emails.
He litigated my case against a large insurance company when they refused to pay me for my substantial loss. In the end, the insurance company lost all of its motions in court and the case was ultimately resolved in my favor.
I thank Richard Rosenstein for all his hard work on my case and I recommend him without hesitation.

Christopher did an amazing job with my case; I had never dealt with the legal system before, and he helped me every step of the way (from my initial answer to the court, discovery and demands of particulars, attending my trials, all the way to getting the plaintiff who was suing me to dismiss the case). He was a great intermediate between myself and the plaintiff as well, and handled everything very professionally. I would highly recommend :)

Scott does a great job of taking care of my legal issues, so I can focus on my Property Management business. I had an issue with a person that had purchased a building from me, and then many months later tried to make an issue that there was a problem with the 2nd floor of the building. We disclosed all in Escrow, but this person still tried to make an issue of it, and Scott quickly and efficiently took care of the issue. This is just one of the cases that Scott handled. His advice is extremely valuable and has certainly helped me make my business more successful. We just forward any possible legal issue to his office, and we are fortunate enough to have them as our attorneys.

Having an aversion to the legal system and its convoluted procedures, it is of the utmost importance that I have a lawyer that I can trust competently to represent my interests, as well as one that can put my concerns at ease during the process. Scott Baker is an experienced lawyer who fulfills these requirements perfectly.

I am the CFO of a multi-disciplinary construction and maintenance company that operate throughout California. We have used Scott’s firm for consulting and litigation services for nearly 20 years. His firm has been consistently successful in protecting my company’s rights in various types of matters such as contract disputes, unfair trade practices, employment and collections. I have attended trials, arbitrations, administrative hearings and mediations with Scott and have found him to be fully prepared, responsive to our needs, aggressive yet sensible, and he has the rare ability to educate us on each process while considering the business implications of the legal options. I highly recommend Scott’s firm to everyone who wants a smart, intuitive, caring, diligent and protective attorney who approaches problems with sensible solutions.

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.

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.
