I cannot recommend Allan highly enough for anyone facing the challenging process of divorce. Over the course of two years, Allan provided exceptional support and guidance, making an incredibly difficult time more manageable. From our first consultation, he demonstrated deep expertise and a compassionate approach. He took the time to understand my unique situation and provided clear, practical advice every step of the way. His strategic thinking and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of my case, from the initial filings to the final settlement. What truly sets Allan apart is his unwavering dedication and professionalism. He was always accessible, responding promptly to my questions and concerns, and kept me informed about the progress of my case. HIs ability to navigate complex legal issues while maintaining a calm and reassuring demeanor was invaluable. Throughout the process, he also consistently advocated for my best interests, helping me achieve a fair and equitable resolution. Allan's negotiation skills were top-notch, and he handled every interaction with the opposing party with tact and respect. Thanks to Allan's hard work and expertise, I was able to come through this experience with a sense of closure and a solid foundation for the future. If you are seeking a knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective divorce attorney, look no further - Allan is the guy you want in your corner.

Requested alot of personal information with an inquiry and never bothered to even call. If he is that lazy with a potential new client, I can only imaging the type of attorney he is. Definite red flag.

His professionalism and expertise in real estate law gave us confidence throughout the entire process. We felt well-represented and secure knowing that Earl was overseeing our transaction.

If I could give 100 stars, I WOULD! 10/10 highly recommend. John Ferraro was incredible! He was truly a life saver when it came to my situation. My husband and I found our selves in a nightmare situation almost a year ago. It was a devastating situation for what was going to soon be a family of three. It seemed like no one would take my case seriously, until I met with John Ferraro! John is professional, knowledgeable, and direct. I was at such a low point of my life when it should of been one of the best points in my life. John Ferraro truly saved my family and soon to be baby. John was extremely responsive at all times. His whole team was truly a blessing. They all were honest, responsive, and even compassionate! I will ALWAYS recommend John Ferraro and his team to anyone in need of a lawyer / lawyers. I will be using him again in the future if I ever need an amazing and truly dedicated lawyer. John Ferraro has been the best experience I've ever had with lawyers, I have had a few before. He is definitely the BEST lawyer! He actually listened to me, my concerns, my opinions, etc. He never rushed me, and he never made me feel less than for not knowing certain terms. The experience I went through was a very difficult one and I was truly afraid at times. He was reassuring and gave me honest and valuable support and responses. Thanks to John Ferraro my lovely family of three was saved from a nightmare situation. Thank you so, so much John Ferraro. Words can not express how grateful and blessed my family and I have been to be able to have you as our lawyer. Thank you all so much! May all of you be blessed always. BEST LAWYER!!!

We were extremely pleased with the counsel provided by Joel Zelkowitz, of the firm Uscher, Quiat, Uscher, & Russo. Joel was immediately responsive to our inquiries, knowledgeable about insurance issues, and generous with his time. Unlike other attorneys that we interviewed before him, Joel was focused on a positive outcome for us versus a lucrative engagement for his firm. His professional approach and sound recommendations reassured us as we tackled our complex insurance matters. We would use Joel’s services again without hesitation and highly recommend him to others.

11 Feb, 2023 by Melissa

I have been a client of Uscher, Quiat, Uscher & Russo and specifically Joel D. Zelkowitz, Esq. since the summer of 2017 when I injured my hand and the firm was referred to me by the providers of my disability insurance. Never did I think I would need an attorney for my straight forward injury and claim... I was wrong. Thankfully my path was gratefully blessed with Mr. Joel Zelkowitz from the very beginning. He has handled everything with getting my disability insurance policy activated without issue and has done so with me being many states away. Joel quickly and diligently handles any matters that arise and deals with them directly. Mr. Zelkowitz always takes time to explain to me the importance of each and every thing that he does for my case. He truly is my advocate. He is NEVER too busy for me and has always made extra time for me during my more "stressed" times. I appreciate Joel is never shy about asking for other's opinions in his firm as well. Mr. Zelkowitz not only handled the initial matters with the insurance company, but he has since dealt with an appeal on my behalf to get my claim reinstated after the company stopped paying. I honestly cannot imagine having to deal with paperwork on my own. I would not be receiving my disability payments if it were not for Mr. Joel D. Zelkowitz, Esq. and his continued hard work, motivation and outstanding skills. Thank you!

Over four years ago I was having a difficult time with the initial firm that was handling my worker's compensation case. A friend recommended the services of Mr. Kendall Medway at Levinson Axelrod and I could not be anymore pleased with the experience of working with Mr. Medway. Mr. Medway's expertise and persistence is truly something to be admired. He kept me fully informed and up-to-date every step of the way and was immediately available to help with any question or concern that I may have had. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Mr. Medway and Levinson Axelrod.

10 Apr, 2024 by P mc

I got injured at my job in April 2022, after which my employer started treating me unfairly-- the employer didn't even allow me to see an actual doctor until almost a year after the injury occurred. I was misdiagnosed by their urgent care reps and by a therapist who told me I was basically faking the injury and gave me physical therapy exercises that caused me more pain. I reached out to a number of lawyers who dismissed me, until I came across Mr. Kendall Medway. From the day I walked into his office he reassured me that he would do all that he could to help me. As far as I am aware, he did just that. Mr. Medway led me through the workers compensation process, which took nearly two years. We reached a settlement in February 2024. I am satisfied with the outcome and that I chose Levinson Axelrod for my workers compensation claim.

Mark has been my attorney for 3 years and has guided me through a very difficult time. He has provided excellent advice and a detailed plan the entire way through a very complex fraud case. Mark has always returned my call the same business day if I was unable to get him in the office. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need.

11 Dec, 2015 by Jen

Mark represented me in 2010 on a criminal case involving charges that included aggravated assault and possession of an unlawful weapon. He was extremely honest, open and real. My mother and I consulted with a few attorneys, but instantly retained Mark based off of our gut feeling upon our first meeting with him. He was extremely reasonably-priced and when the very emotional week of trial time came, I don't think that he slept either. He impressed my family and I so much that even on the final sleepless night that the jury was out on deliberation, my mother, mommom, and I all agreed no matter the outcome the next morning, we couldn't have asked for more. Mark blew our minds away with his intelligence and experience and far exceeded our expectations. Even the court interpreter was in tears when I was found NOT GUILTY on ALL charges. I put my life and future in Mark's hands, and I would do so again in a heartbeat.

Our business is a family owned wholesale distributor and we have been working with Matt for over a year now. We couldn't be happier with the caliber of service, responsiveness and continual professionalism Matt has demonstrated thus far. He has helped us with a number of collections cases, which we had been trying to deal with in-house, unsuccessfully, for many years. Matt's approach has allowed us to address problematic accounts in a professional manner without jeopardizing our long term business relationships. Throughout each case, Matt has been able to clearly explain all of our options and their potential outcomes, as well as how each situation plays into the broader context of our business. Additionally, Matt has been advising us on our internal processes related to our customer credit accounts. He has helped identify ways for us to better protect ourselves when extending credit and ways to make sure we are in the best position possible in the event that something goes wrong. Working with Matt, we feel much more informed about the legal process and the systems in place to help companies like us deal with different situations. We will undoubtedly continue our relationship with Matt and give him our highest endorsement.

I have worked with Matthew in the past year on 2 different areas of business law. Matthew was extremely detail oriented putting together a business agreement and spent a tremendous amount of time answering all my questions and listening to my needs and understanding my intent of the agreement. Matthew also has helped me with some employee issues and I am certain he directed me in the correct direction. I have and will recommend Matthew to any business owner looking for solid advice or representation.

Working with Mr. Blaine was an experience in a class by itself. Not only was he very professional, timely, and informative, he was personable enough to relate to on a level that helped with the stress of dealing with a legal matter. My phone calls were returned the same day every time, emails returned within an hour or two at most, and Mr. Blaine never seemed to be rushing me through any of my questions or concerns. Any time I had a question, he would listen genuinely and walk me through the steps it took to resolve the issue.

He would always return my calls very promptly, and if he didn't hear from me, he would contact me to inquire about any questions I had about my case. Steve represented me in two DUI cases in municipal court. I was facing a two year loss of license in the second DUI. He was able to get this DUI dismissed. In the first DUI, I was facing 7 months loss of license, and Steve was able to get that reduced to 3 months. Thanks to Steve I have been able to get my life back on track.

Questions? We have answers

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.

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.
