I had an urgent legal matter that needed immediate attention. Without any delay whatsoever, on the day of the issue arising, Russ was able to strategize on the correct actions providing multiple options, and we selected the optimal strategy moving forward in order to deal with the problem. The turnaround was astounding, impressive, and much needed.
The issue was resolved the same day, and the immediate connection and ability to speak directly greatly helped everything within the process.
Unlike other law firms that you have to work through an army of admin assistants, working with Russ was easy, fast, and I received expert-level resolution without any back and forth or time wasted.
I always prefer working directly with the experts due to efficiency and getting the right answers instead of wasting time or any miscommunication and Russ's law practice was able to to resolve my issue efficiently and exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Russ, for all your support and expertise!

I was terminated by my employer and I thought I had a case. I was either ignored or turned away because of "conflicts of interest." Russell came by way of a referral from a Labor Rights website and I am so grateful. He really looked into my case and listened to me. When Russ believes in something, he's passionate about it. I don't know anything about law and he made sure to explain each phase and had multiple courses of actions so I always knew all my options and was fully involved in each decision. At first, I was so worried. My employer had a team of legal professionals and a lot of money to pour into litigation and I definitely do not. Russ was a one man army and handled each interaction with tact and grace. In the end, we won the claim and I know it was all due to 2 things; the truth and Russ. I will continue to recommend anyone having any issues with current or former employers to Russ.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Thank you for all your patience and mental fortitude!

I have worked and consulted with John in multiple capacities on a regular basis. My job puts my in a position to works with many lawyers and John is one of the best I have ever come across. It is not just the fact that he knows his stuff inside and out, it is that human element that sets him so far above the others I have dealt with. You always know he has your best interest in mind and you know he is working harder then anyone to achieve your goals. He is always unbelievably responsive and keeps you fully informed. I could not give anyone a higher reccomendation.

9 months ago, I reached out to Joseph at J.S. Fritzon Law to see if he would be able to help me litigate a case between an abusive employer and myself. He told me in the beginning it would not be a very big case however he would be happy to take the case based on the information that I provided. Over the next 9 months he was attentive to the case he was responsive to me and he treated me like a human being. In the end he got a decent settlement for me. I would highly recommend using this person. He is a patient attorney and very effective. My former employer was hedge fund billionaires. They had no intention of treating me like a human being.

Mr. Fritzson knows the law better than any person I have ever met. But it was his preparedness that truly won me over. He filed three motions before I even knew and I was back in the arms of my family. He called my mother 2x a day. He worked tirelessly on my behalf. And when all was said and done, he helped me win my appeal case and go home. I am choked up just thinking about how much he saved my family. My mom now carries his picture with her in her purse and she invited him to Thanksgiving.

Scott helped us when our insurance company denied our claim. He knew we were wronged took our case, was responsive, updated us along the way and got us the rightful money we were owed. For a hardworking family with a mortgage and kids the money he successfully got us helped keep us on our feet and repair the damage to our home.

Worked with Scott on an Allstate Ins. case concerning a house destroyed by fire. Scott was the consummate professional who was true to his word on everything he said. There were no surprises, the opposition was outclassed and the case was settled without going to court. Scott's associate and staff were easy to work with and updated me periodically as the case moved along. I heartily recommend Scott and would definitely seek his services if ever needed again.

I've been a small business owner in New York City for around the past 5 years, and I've been working with Adam (and his associate, though I'll review him separately) since virtually the very beginning.
Adam has seen my company grow from a tiny fledgling entity to where we are today, and has been an integral part of our surmounting the myriad challenging, unlucky, 'unfair', or otherwise demanding legal situations and circumstances that come with starting and running a business -- both par-for-the-course and very unexpected.
It's tough to condense everything I could possibly highlight here, but to consolidate to concise summation, simply read the title of this review. One of the things I appreciate most about Adam is his comprehensive analysis and thorough explanations on any given set of circumstances, while at the same time remaining efficient and precise in all the right ways. His methods in outlining different legal approaches or strategies and potential ramifications of each is incredibly informative and helpful in deciding how best to tackle certain situations based on practicality. I also very much appreciate that while he is worth every dollar he invoices, he doesn't hesitate to express anytime there may be avenues to spend *less* on legal in a particular set of circumstances (and the various possibilities and outcomes). He's honest and is a person of integrity.
All in all, I couldn't more heartily recommend Adam as a great attorney for anyone in need of highly effective counsel in any fashion.

Adam Russ was originally referred to me by a mutual friend and client. It was an excellent recommendation. Adam and his team have helped me navigate a ground-breaking case in the real estate industry. You will find Adam not just an expert in his field, but 100% dedicated and always available to talk about your case. He is personable and easy going, but don't be fooled...this is one sharp attorney!

I have known both William Larkin & Joseph Farrell for about 3 years. They have represented me in the most professional manner, their ethics are of the highest standards. Their friendship, courtesy, knowledge and honesty have become very important to me during the two years as they represented me in my case against my former employer for a breach of contract with respect to my employee severance agreement. I have used Larkin & Farrell, LLC as my attorneys in my business matters and will again in my will and estate advice. I have no problem recommending them to friends as well as business associates. I will continue to use Larkin & Farrell, LLC in any and all my legal needs.

The Law Office of Jerome D Patterson was with me right from the start until I received compensation. Mr. Patterson was highly recommended to me and now I understand why. Jerry and his office staff worked vigorously on my behalf, updating me frequently re. my case. His knowledge, professionalism, sense of humor and suggestions put me at ease. Mr. Patterson’s firm gathered all of the reports and data, kept me apprised and got me a settlement better than I ever expected.

Shahriar Kashanian was a great attorney and I am so happy to have hired him for my accident case. He never stopped fighting for me. He stands by his clients and fights to do the very best for them. I would recommend him to anyone who was injured in an accident.

Mr. Shahriar, fought for me above and beyond call of duty.
In May 2020 amid the stress of the coronavirus shut down, I went for a Saturday morning motorcycle ride and a breath of fresh air.
After an oncoming car crossed double yellow lines and nearly amputated my leg, we learned that insurance companies tend to believe car drivers over Motorcyclists.
14 months and 12 surgeries later I will eventually walk again. However, it looked like that was going to cost my family everything.
Both insurance companies were claiming it was my fault in spite of evidence to the contrary. Even the famous "motorcycle lawyers" wouldn't take the case since it was just my word against theirs.
Both companies ended up paying out the maximum.
But that's not the end of the of the story. At this point most lawyers would've taken their cut and gone home.
But that's not what happened.
It turns out Medicare doesn't pay for motorcycle accidents and were coming after me for every bit of it. This last bit was not even in his purview.
Nonetheless, Shahriar went to work on them for months even though that was not part of our contract but just because in his own words "it's just the right thing to do".
I don't know if he eventually convinced them of that or if they gave in so he would stop following up with them every day. Either way, they accepted a greatly reduced payment.
I hope you never need to, but if you ever get in a situation where you need someone to fight for you like "a bulldog on a pant leg" and never give up because that's the right thing to do, I highly recommend Mr. Shahriar Kashanian. He won't let you down.

JT was awesome! He helped my healthcare business receive funds we were owed that the insurance company was holding for no reason! He was persistent and always had an open direct line of communication. He values your opinion and runs things by you before and explains his reasoning and best course of action. In addition to that he was incredibly nice and fair (super rare for an attorney lol). I really felt that he had our best interest at heart. Great attorney and a great human being as well.

I initially contacted over 20 firms to find the right person to interpret a contract I was engaged in. Mr. Schlossberg got back to me IMMEDIATELY and was ready for a consultation call at my earliest convenience. From the beginning, Mr. Schlossberg clearly showed amazing promptness and professionalism, but most importantly, it was clear that every client no matter how small is top priority to him.
He even contacted me several times after our final consultation making sure that everything was working out well for me and if he could be of any further assistance. Mr. Schlossberg will absolutely be my go-to the next time I need legal advice.

Our company, located in Ontario, Canada, makes license plate recognition equipment that is used by cities and towns across the United States and Canada to manage parking. Our product monitors and encourages parking compliance and provides insight into people’s parking habits and their patronage of shops, restaurants and night clubs, dentists, doctors and lawyers and other commercial activity in downtown business areas. The general goal is to encourage parking turnover which makes a significant and positive impact to an average business’s revenue increasing the vitality, vibrancy, and desirability of the downtown core, and more generally, a city’s cachet and appeal.
We are a niche engineering-oriented company, and have a good reputation for quality, ease of use and customer service. A new client on Long Island, New York, approached us about our product. They liked what they saw and what it could do for their town and issued a Request for Proposal (RFP). Our company won the RFP and the town council approved the purchase, with the Mayor stating emphatically and publicly that they were very excited to have our equipment operational in their popular downtown. We were also very excited! We had a firm contract in a new area and their down payment in the bank. It takes about 12 weeks to build, customize and deliver our product.
After installing our equipment (during the peak of Covid19 in the fall of 2020), the town began to use it to monitor and enforce parking compliance and expressed complete satisfaction with their purchase. Around this time, a new Mayor and new councilors were voted in. The new Mayor soon made it clear that he did not like the look of the equipment, and stated they would not pay the remaining money, about $50,000. This was a body blow to us. The amount of money was substantial, but equally so was the arbitrary and unethical behaviour of the town’s mayor and colleagues. We had won the RFP, had a purchase order, a contract, and this was a fundamental breach of contract. Initial discussions with the town went nowhere.
I searched online for New York lawyers skilled in business litigation and with my daughter (a lawyer by training) teased out the type of person we thought most likely to succeed against a well funded town such as our misbehaving client. Aaron Schlossberg quickly rose to the top.
We spoke on the phone, and he immediately grasped the significance of the breach of contract. Moreover, Aaron brought energy and passion for justice which resonated with us. Internally we discussed and debated whom should we pick, and Aaron won hands down. So we started down the long and winding road to a just conclusion.
Aaron’s qualities as a lawyer are many.
Besides his intense passion for justice, Aaron is extremely knowledgeable, and proposed strategy, tactics, and analogous experience from his many years of practicing, listing legal principles, examples, and case studies. As the case dragged on, and the town continued to thwart, block, and frustrate a constructive conclusion, Aaron worked with us, listening to our concerns, advising and picking initiatives that reduced our legal costs. He demonstrated resilience and tenaciousness, researching precedents, shredding and deflating our opponent’s claims and counter arguments and presented overwhelming evidence in our favor. Moreover his writing was lucid, compelling, powerful. The court certainly agreed with him! We won our case, settled the legal action, and got paid.
As you can see, we highly regard Aaron and, facing similar circumstances, would reach out to Aaron in a heartbeat. If you are considering hiring a lawyer and need a skilled and resourceful practitioner that will listen carefully and passionately defend you with tenaciousness and grit, integrity and professionalism, Aaron would be an excellent choice.

A few years back Len Sperber handled a lawsuit against our company for a liability claim. The company that handled our insurance found a loophole in our policy and denied insurance for that claim. End result several months later, what could have been a financial disaster ended in a sigh of relief. It was settled for $1000. Need I say more

If you have an insurance case you really need to win, working with Shelly at Trief & Oak is the way to go. Shelly is outstanding - extremely efficient and knowledgable as well as creative and able to think outside the box.
Farmers Insurance had rejected my claim twice due to my mothers death occurring several days after her life insurance policy lapsed. I spoke with 5-6 top attorneys specializing in insurance prior to selecting Shelly for my case. What really stood out about her was she immediately picked up on relevant details in my case and was easily able to identify multiple routes she could pursue to win my case, all while doing her initial consultation with me. This was a huge contrast to other lawyers, who did not seem to feel it would be an easy case for them, and requested a significant percentage of anything recovered for just sending initial correspondence.
From the very beginning it was clear Shelly had my best interest in mind. She was incredibly transparent and provided me an option where I could pay them a flat fee for initial correspondence, and enter a percentage structure should the case need to go to court. Within a day of hiring her, she already had a letter out to the insurance company!
Shelly handled all the back and forth with the insurance company, and when additional documents were required even offered for an internal Trief & Oak employee who was an expert at retrieving medical records to handle it for me free of charge. She was in regular correspondence with me and handled every last detail down to the direct deposit information.
Thanks to Shelly, Famers agreed to pay the full half million policy without going to trial. Less than 4 months after I hired Shelly the money is already in my bank account! My friends and family are all in awe of how great my lawyer was, and I truly cannot recommend Shelly enough!

Mr. Tambascia has been on point with his commentary and estimates as to how the case has progressed. Unlike other counsel in the case he has provide concrete results. I am making these comments as an adjuster who is handling claims for other parties in the case and it is rare that I offer praise to attorneys who are not panel counsel.

Mr. Tambascia found several creative solutions for the concerns of our clients and saved our company substantial funds and avoided significant exposure on a case that was complicated and involved multiple parties. Our portion of the claim was reduced from an anticipated 80% to 25% based on his efforts and understanding of both the relevant law in the CD area and of real estate. He provided realistic solutions for high exposure case and saved the company around $1.0 Million. Overall a solid experience and I look forward to working with him again.

MCV personnel are polite, courtesy, knowledge and efficient.
First used them in 2010 when applying for disability. They accomplished it on first try. Most recently used them on a worker's comp case. They got me a reversal from 2 denials to have a total knee replacement redone.
One of the best choices I have made was hiring MCV Law.

Glad I hired Mr. Holmgren to handle the issue I was dealing with. I'm extremely happy with the agreement that resulted from his services. He did an excellent job navigating the complex avenues of the law and did a better job of handling me when I became "emotional" about the wheels of justice.
I was recommended by someone that knew someone else and I have no idea how long he's been practicing law. He's the youngest lawyer that has provided me counsel; however, his knowledge, creativity, and skill will have me return if I'm ever in need of legal services in the future.
I've hired other attorneys in the past that I have not been happy with and for a lack of a better word, "sucked!" I would highly recommend Mr. Holmgren to anyone needing legal advice!

Mr. Holmgren was fantastic in negotiating a complex land case involving extensive/continuing property damages from an invasive species where there was comparative fault. All in all, with Mr. Holmgren’s help, I was absolved of liability and ended up with a check without years of litigation. He’s simply the best.

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.
