Trent (Lead Paralegal) and Kelly Law Team, did a fantastic job assisting our family with our MVA claim. My wife was the victim of an irresponsible 25 year old male driver named ZION KAI PALMOMINO ORTIZ who failed to yield, ran the light and hit my wife's vehicle head on at McQueen and Elliot Rd on February 14, 2024 at 7am. My wife suffered horrific injuries as the result of the other driver's (ZION KAI PALMOMINO ORTIZ) incompetence: internal bleeding, knocked unconscious, an open compound fracture of her right knee with her bone exposed thru her right leg, her right patella was completely destroyed, she had ten broken ribs, a broken left ankle, major loss of blood, a severe concussion, lower lumbar spine damage, and she had to be transported to the hospital as a Jane Doe because she was unconscious when Gilbert Police and Paramedics arrived at the scene of the accident. My wife's vehicle was totaled and it is a miracle that she was not killed. The other driver, ZION KAI PALMOMINO ORTIZ was arrested and criminally cited. The at fault incompetent other driver, ZION KAI PALMOMINO ORTIZ was arrested by GPD and criminally cited with Offense # 1 90Z-3A 28-672 - SERIOUS FATAL OR INJ ACCIDENT-FAIL TO COMPLY TRAFFIC OFFENSE / ACCIDENT CRIMINAL CHARGING - COMPLETED. (Statute 28-672A SERIOUS FATAL OR INJ ACCIDENT-FAIL TO COMPLY W/ SEC. A1-A7 (M). ) Please know that Personal Injury judgements in the state of Arizona are fully dischargeable when the at fault party files Chapter 7 bankruptcy; when this happens, you will get nothing for your horrific injuries you suffered and for your pain and suffering. So your choices are to spend 2+ years of your life obtaining a personal injury judgement against them only to have them file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and wipe our your judgment, or accept their auto insurance liability limit on their auto policy and not pursue the personal injury judgement in court. The at fault party gets off Scot free with their only consequence being a higher monthly insurance bill while you have serious health consequences for the rest of your life. This Arizona personal injury law favors the at fault party and needs to change. We could have pursued the Personal Injury Judgement and forced the at fault party ZION KAI PALMOMINO ORTIZ and parents whose son was on their auto policy at GEICO: ORTIZ JAMES/PALOMINO-ORTIZ EMILY to file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Trent is very knowledgeable and made sure that we were fully aware of all the steps taken throughout the entire claims process. He made this complex lengthy MVA case stress free and was always pleasant and available. I highly recommended Kelly Law Team Phoenix. Thank you Trent and John Kelly for delivering the best possible outcome for our family.

I was in an unexpected and unfortunate car accident in late December of 2023. With the amazing help from Kelly Law Team, this complex and lengthy process became stress free and easy to understand, as the team is very communicative and will go through lengths to make sure everything is able to be broken down and understood. I worked with amazing paralegals, and would like to give recognition to Trent who closed this case in August of 2024. I am so very grateful that this case was able to come to a resolution very quickly and with such ease. Thank you so much!

Tracy and Joelle by far is the best team! Have been in my crazy battle for 4 years now, with my previous lawyer he did an okay job, but after hiring Tracy and her team, I am finally making progress. Tracy has been very transparent and gives the best advice throughout this crazy/difficult time. She has given me so much peace of mind and very on top of it. Her and Joelle has exceeded all of my expectations and then some. I am a complete over thinker and they both have eased my mind so much and have kept me sane from all of the crap I have been through.

Taylor and the rest of the team at May Potenza Baran & Gillespie were absolutely great to work with! They helped us with the sale of a business and lease negotiations. Throughout the process they listened to what we had to say and provided guidance on matters we were unfamiliar with. We always felt they represented our best interests and they never pushed us to accept terms from the other party we weren't comfortable with. Having them in our corner helped relieve some of the burden of an otherwise very stressful process. They were also quick to jump in at the last minute and take over a matter they hadn't previously been involved with to help get the deals done. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They are professional, friendly, and well-qualified!

We had a case where we had sold our house and thought we had moved on to our new residence without a hitch, when four months later, we received a letter from the buyer's attorney demanding money for repairs for items that they accused us of hiding from them in the disclosure document. Ryan was recommended by a mutual friend, and he turned out to be an excellent choice as our legal representative. At the first meeting, he was very easy to communicate with, as he listened very intently to glean all the details and documentation that we had concerning the case. He quickly came to the conclusion that our opponents had no grounds to make such financial demands and proceeded to elaborate on his strategy to defend us. I liked his plan and I liked his style. Within a just a few days, Ryan had come to an agreement with the opposing party, which resulted in them dropping the case. Furthermore, Ryan also showed a great amount of integrity, in that he informed us that he was giving back a certain amount of money to us, because he did not require as much as we had initially given him to proceed with the case. Ryan Sandstrom is definitely a "5 star" attorney in my book!

I never thought I would be a person who would have to hire an attorney to help resolve a simple water flood I had in my home, but the insurance left me no choice. Hiring Ryan Sandstrom was the best decision I have ever made when it came to protecting my rights and my personal assets. Ryan was always available and very understanding of my feelings and listened well to all my frustrations. With that being said, Ryan was very good at finding the facts surrounding our claim and never let emotions drive his demands and decisions while dealing with my insurance company. Every e-mail and phone call was promptly returned and was done so with compassion and understanding. This was not an easy process for me or my family. We had been fighting with our insurance company for months, moving from our in-laws to a hotel and then ultimately ending up in a rental. It was not until we hired Ryan that things started to move quickly and immediately. I would recommend Ryan to anyone who is having a difficult time getting answers or responses from their insurance company. It is only because of the expertise, professionalism and determination of Ryan that our claim got resolved and paid. We can not thank Ryan enough for his time and dedication and ensuring we were made whole for the damages that occurred in our home. My wife, 5 kids and myself are going to be able to move back into our home this weekend thanks again to Ryan. If you are ever questioning whether or not to hire an attorney, I am sorry for what you might be going through but know you do not have to do it on your own. Ryan will be your voice, your advocate and will get you what you are owed. Please do not hesitate to protect you or your family by hiring Ryan, you will NOT regret it. Thank you Ryan from the bottom or our hearts, we were blessed beyond measure to have you on our side.

We hired Ryan for a case where we were being sued. Understandably, this was very unsettling and Ryan took the time to explain everything about the case, our options and possible outcomes. Any time we had questions, he was very approachable and quickly responded to us with answers. He spent time collaborating with us making sure everything was covered and did an excellent job of pleading our case to the judge. I was extremely impressed with how he represented us and thankfully, the case was ultimately thrown out. While it is our hope that we do not need his services again, I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone facing a similar situation.

Mark Worischeck has been and remains the most skilled, knowledgable and client-focused attorney that my company has retained. He understands our business and is always thinking of ways to mitigate our exposure and costs. Whereas other attorneys often grind through the litigation process, Mark develops and executes creative and cost-effective ways to resolve disputes. His responsiveness is unparalleled. This is key for any client, particularly in-house counsel, and Mark knows it. I always know exactly what is going on in matters he is handling for our company. He also delegates work in appropriate circumstances to other experienced and talented attorneys in his firm.

Richard led our bad faith suit against our insurance company that denied a significant claim required for home repairs after a pipe burst in our home. Richard is an expert on bad faith claims and proved that expertise in helping to win our claim against a top insurance company. Richard led our legal team over 18 months and was able to negotiate a fair settlement for us at a reasonable cost. We are very pleased with the quality of our legal team, the support and expertise they provided throughout the litigation process. They are sincerely a winning team!

Rich did a great job representing our financial services organization and I highly recommend him! We retained Rich to initiate proceedings against our insurance company for denying a large claim. As a first step, Rich engaged in discussions with opposing counsel and set forth our position in no-nonsense terms. He substantiated our position with thorough case law citations. As a result, we ended up settling this matter without having to file a complaint, saving our organization the expense and time-consuming process of litigation. I have been practicing law for over 20 years and I found Rich to be one of the toughest negotiators out there. Our executive team is very pleased with the outcome in this matter. We appreciate Rich and his zealous advocacy! Highly recommend!

Rich Gramlich, Professional, Experienced and Prepared. "PEP" How can you do better for your client than obtaining a settlement well in excess of what the client expected. Rich did just that. He was cost conscious asking me, if I wanted to pay for a deposition or pass due to costs? I left that chose to Rich who chose yes and I'm glad he did. The deposition appeared to have increased the settlement in mediation quite significantly. Rich was obviously very well prepared for the deposition with a good retention of the facts and issues supporting my claim. I am not an Attorney but my two kids are so I get it. Law is a business so chose a lawyer that's a winner. I did and it provided great results. Great experience. Thank You Mr. Gramlich

Steve represented me when I was involved in a car accident on the interstate last year. I suffered a closed head brain bleed. Steve was able to recover my medical expenses, wage loss, and damages for my pain and suffering. He also was able to detect multiple sources of insurance coverage to provide me compensation. I personally was able to speak with Steve through out the case and felt like he sincerely was interested in achieving the absolute best result for me. I would recommend him to anyone injured in an accident.

My wife and I used their website to see if we had a medical malpractice case. Kyle Shelton emailed us a response within 15 minutes and we submitted it after 9:00 pm. He did not think we had a case but even still they spent time they did not have to spend explaining the circumstances why and wishing us all the best. This is above and beyond customer service and we will be coming back if we have any other potential legal issues.

I would like to thank Shah & Associates Law Firm for their excellent services in my case. Dr. Zaheer A Shah, Mr. Kyle Shelton, and Mr. Erik Johnson were helpful and extremely supportive since the beginning of the case. Their excellent communication took all stress out of the process. The initial settlement offer from the other party was unreasonable. Dr. Shah called and informed me about the offer and we both felt that the amount was unacceptable. He went above and beyond my expectations and attained a very reasonable settlement without going to the court. They explained everything step by step and always answered all of my questions. They were always available through phone and email. They kept me informed of all the details that were related to the case. I am very fortunate and delighted that they were able to handle my case. I would highly recommend Shah & Associates Law Firm to anyone.

When I was hurt five years ago by doctors that I trusted in Casa Grande, I had no idea who to turn to. I read about Dr. Shah and Kyle Shelton online and met them both. I could tell right away that Dr. Shah, with his medical knowledge, was able to figure out how the medical malpractice happened to me. From that point forward, I knew I was in great hands. Kyle and Doc have treated me like family. I spoke with Kyle on Christmas one year, just to talk about my case. Kyle and Doc told me that they only take the cases where doctors clearly broke a safety rule and where someone has been seriously injured. That is what happened to me and I am so glad I have them in my corner. I have seen Kyle in action in court, and he is smart and means business. They have pursed justice for me and continue to pursue justice for me 100%. I can't recommend Kyle enough. You would be a fool not to go to Kyle and Dr. Shah if you have been the victim of malpractice.

Steve assisted us when my wife's parents moved out of a retirement home due to being unhappy with the food. This was a "purchase" type of unit, where they paid $200,000 when they moved in but were promised 90% of that would be returned to them if they moved out. After moving out they were told that they would not get their money until their unit was sold and occupied. Sure enough, buried in the legalese of the contract was that provision. With the housing market down in Phoenix, that could be years. We found that the retirement home owners had subsequently changed the contract such that that provision had to be initialed because others had complained of being misled. Steve filed suit and successfully negotiated the refund of the deposit.

Steve Sparks educated himself so well with our case that he learned more about our products performance than we even knew. He knew nothing about the paint industry and water vapor transmission before he started but became so knowlegeable through his investigation and research that he was able to discount the claims against our products performance. Steve worked extremely hard and he and does his homework. We found him to be a very intelligent, fair and honest attorney. He kept us well informed throughout the ordeal with his findings of the false claims against our products performance which gave us hope that things would go our way. We were more than satisfied and highly recommend him. We would definitely use him again should the need arise.

After 40 years of dealing with attorneys, Lisa is, by far, the most competent, honest, focused attorney I have retained. She is fair but direct and is your advocate throughout the process. Many attorneys will tell you that your case is their number one priority only to be disappointed by the absence of representation and lack of understanding your needs. With Lisa, you are not just another file on her desk but a priority. Hire Lisa and it's handled...don't...and I wish you well because you'll be disappointed. Great attorney!

Lisa Counters represented me with my disability benefit claim on my private disability insurance company and with my Social Security Disability Benefits claim. Lisa was with me from the start of my disability claim application providing knowledgeable advise, assistance with the many forms, and real answers to my many questions. The disability benefit claim process is intimidating and confusing. I could not have completed the disability claims process without Lisa's insight, expertise and aggressive work ethic. Lisa Counters was able to secure disability benefit awards for me from both my private disability insurance company and from the Social Security Administration. The disability benefit awards have improved the quality of my life. Before my disability, I was a businessman for over 30 years. I worked with many lawyers and law firms on a variety of matters. Based on experience, I can truly say that Lisa Counters and The Counters Firm provides excellent legal representation and remarkable service to clients like me with disability benefit claims.

We have used services of Randy Sassaman's law firm for our negotiations with a big insurance company. He was recommended to me and my wife by another lawyer, who was not able to take our case at the time. And we are so glad now that Randy and Mike took that case and pursued it so tirelessly. They prepared exhaustive arguments to defend our side and were almost successful in doing so. The judge seemed to be leaning our way, so it's still not clear how the decision went the other way. Randy suggested and we decided to appeal the case to the Ninth Circuit. Fortunately it was accepted there and Randy traveled to San Francisco for the hearing and presented our side of the story so convincingly that the case was returned back to Arizona for retrial. That was enough to eventually reach a settlement with the insurance company that helped us financially a lot in our situation. We will sure recommend this law firm to anybody seeking help with personal injury and insurance cases. Thank you Randy and Mike!

When Isabel first took our case it didn't look very promising. Our mother lost her job and insurance benefits in the summer of 2016 and she passed the following winter. She did not successfully transfer her life insurance to a separate policy so we didn't expect to receive anything. Isabel fought with the insurance companys to get our family the life insurance, and she went above and beyond when it came to making sure all our affairs were in order. She communicated to us every step of the way, and even if we didn't get the payout I would still highly recommend Isabel and her firm to anyone needing legal assistance.

Tyler is the absolute best lawyer that I could have used to represent me. Knowing that Tyler not only competed and won numerous awards when competing in mock-trial in college, but is also a coach for the ASU Mock-Trial Team, I knew that I was getting a lawyer who is top tier. Tyler took the time to understand my concerns, go through all of the details leading up to my hearing, and prepped me well for the day of the hearing. When my hearing came, I was extremely nervous, but he reassured me that everything would move forward smoothly and there would be nothing to worry about. Tyler was phenomenal with his execution of our opening and closing statements, as well as with his cross-examination of me to bring to light the facts that may not have been known to the board. Tyler's knowledge and expertise is the reason why my case was won, and I know for a fact that if it weren't for him, I would not have had the favorable outcome that we hoped for. If you want a lawyer who doesn't just know how to win, but also understands how to comfort and support you amidst the entire process Tyler from Doran Justice is your guy. And if you need any extra reasons as to why you should choose him, look at his resume and his willingness to give back to and help coach the future lawyers of the world -- as it is evident that he genuinely cares about every person that he helps.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. What is your success rate with insurance disputes?
    Ask about the lawyer’s track record in winning or settling cases similar to yours.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
