I like to give a big shout out to Jordon who had helped me to get my compensation from the insurance company. Without your service, the insurance company will just ignore my voice even though it is a legitimate claim. You have informed me well on every single stage and give professional advises on how to proceed. Most importantly, you bring justice to the case and we get what we deserved at the end. I will definitely recommend Jordon and the company for his professional service.

Weston did a really wonderful job for my family in his pursuit of my insurance company, who refused to pay for a roof that was damaged in a hurricane two years ago.
He was phenomenal. He deftly steered us to the appraisal process. He was great about giving updates and did a phenomenal job assisting me in appraiser selection. Through the process, we received five times the highest settlement offer made by my insurance company.
I highly recommend him. It is very clear from the get go that he is very skilled and professional. He knows his stuff and got better than the desired result.
He is also a genuinely nice guy. Some lawyers can be grating, but not him.
I can't imagine having a better experience or a more skilled advocate throughout the process.

Many thanks to Attorney Giovanni Diez and Janis Alvarez, legal assistant, for all their help in pursuing and finalising our home insurance claim. They were both very professional, responsive whenever I contacted them and knowledgeable about home insurance claim processes. Giovanni went out of his way to ensure I had any assistance I needed. He was positive, kind and empathetic about any concerns in dealing with the insurance company and came up with creative solutions to challenges along the way. He was careful to ensure that I was informed about any issues that were important for me to be aware of, and very patient in answering my many questions. I found working with Giovanni and Janis to be a very positive experience.

One of the best attorneys you can hire if you’re in trouble or if one of your children or grandchildren needs help. This is the man
To see.
Honesty, integrity, and experience that’s what you get when you hire Brandon.
I can tell you from experience if it wasn’t for him my grandson would be in a different place right now . His patient and ability to interact with both law-enforcement and the state attorneys office is second to none. This is the individual you need if your loved one is truly in trouble he’ll be honest with you and give you 100%.

In my initial consultation with Michael Long I explained that I had a dispute with a pool contractor who caused considerable damage to my property while installing a swimming pool and then placed a lien on my property after I refused to pay them in full without an offset for at least part of the damage they caused. Mr Long was upfront and explained that I likely had an uphill battle due to the one-sided contract that I signed, however, after meeting with him and making him aware that I had all documentation, receipts, photographs to substantiate the damages caused, he indicated he had numerous prior dealings with the attorney representing the contractor and would do his very best to help me.
In order to get a sense of the legal costs I might be facing, during the initial consultation I asked him to give me a range of what my legal expenses might be and he indicated they would likely be in the ballpark of the $1,500 retainer as long as court appearances and filing/answering lawsuits were not involved. I agreed.
In the end (no court appearances or lawsuits were involved), I wound up settling this matter for THE FULL AMOUNT the pool contractor originally wanted, plus paying his firm $3,000.00 for their legal fees.
There was zero benefit to me in hiring Michael Long. In the end, he did absolutely nothing to help me.
Needless to say, I would not recommend this attorney or his firm Brewer Long.

I'm an attorney who can be somewhat demanding. But on the advice of my best friend, who was a former client of Michael Long, I reached out to him to handle a sensitive issue connected to my employment contract in effect at that time. Michael was incredibly efficient and delivered an answer I could depend on in very little time. He took even less time than I expected and helped me understand what I *could* do -- but even more importantly, offered me advice on what I *should* do. If I or a firend had a similar problem, I would recommend him without hesitation.

I'll refer to the business for whom I once worked that hired this person as the 'company'.
Incompetence doesn't begin to describe this 'attorney'. He once left a deposition during which he proffered an elaborate collection of evidence to the other side in a powerpoint presentation and complained that maybe he had given away too much.
Yeah, maybe everything. Our position in the case had just been severely worsened by him. It was like it was his first time, and this wasn't that long ago. He's an amateur at best, but too old for that.
That case and several others were NEVER concluded by him despite years of repeated direction to settle the cases: Each and every one got worse with his involvement. All cases were settled by the company shortly after he abandoned them. It wasn't difficult. There's a reason he's no longer with any his previous firms and working alone.
He would end his work with the company by taking legal action against that company on behalf of a former employee.
Yes, he not only violated attorney/client privilege but he then attacked his own client. To my knowledge, at no time did he ever resign or withdraw from working for the company with whom I worked: He simply went to work for the other side without notice. Is that a thing?
His poker buddy was the one who got him hired by the company. When his poker buddy got fired, he immediately turned on the firm.
He worked with his poker buddy to attack the company, even going so far as to provide a false affidavit with extraordinary claims of money owed. This was withdrawn almost immediately when it was pointed out the legal risk of this false claim and how obviously fake it indeed was.
What kind of attorney does this?
This should have gone to the Florida Bar, he should have been disbarred. No formal complaint was ever filed, this is the kind of 'person' you're best just getting as far away from as possible. No complaint of any kind was filed previously, it was assumed this 'attorney' would fabricate some legal premise to continue unwarranted attacks.
To this day, he continues to work with his poker buddy, hooking him up on failed construction projects. I pity the client. They've no idea what they're getting into - one is as incompetent as the other.
Avoid this man at all costs. He shouldn't even be allowed to practice. Know that rules do not apply him. If that works for you, here's your man.

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.
