Pat and Jess handled our case with professionalism, care, and grace from start to finish. Nothing can change what happened to our child, but the team ensured his best interests were represented and gave us the exact outcome we'd hoped without seeing a single day inside a courtroom.

I was referred to Patrick Laverty who provided some advice on how to respond to an insurance company where my claim was held up. I had been working on it since February 2022 (1 yr and 2 months). Within a week the insurance company paid out my claim in full. This was after only one conversation with Pat and he did not charge me! I was so impressed and forever grateful for his help, expertise, and kindness. Please call Pat to get your insurance needs taken care of instead of fumbling through it on your own. The insurance company was clearly taking advantage of my ignorance on insurance!

Rich was great. he communicated with me the entire time. He worked with me for over two years and was very patient whenever I had questions or didn't understand something. He always was honest about how he felt about my case and what the difficulties would be so that I was never caught off guard in the process.That type of honesty was greatly appreciated. I feel he went above and beyond to make it as pain free and stress free as possible.

As a person who did not have any knowledge on hiring attorneys..(who really does.) I consulted with a few. I ended up going back to Rich as he took time to talk and review my case with me. Always returned my calls/emails. Addressed my concerns and always dealt with the details. I ended up hiring him again when I got injured.. He kept me up to date and in the loop without pressures so I could heal. He is an excellent attorney who will go above for his clients.

Rich has handled 2 separate personal injury cases for me. He was excellent at handling all the legal stuff while I focused on healing. I wouldn't even think of hiring anyone else. He helped me find good doctors to make sure I got the best care for a speedy recovery. He took care of everything with the insurance companies. He was excellent at responding to me whenever I had a question.

We couldn’t have asked for a better legal team than Eric A. Stovall and his staff. Eric helped us navigate a challenging adoption case with expertise, professionalism, and compassion. He kept us informed throughout the entire process, ensuring that we always understood our options and what to expect. His team, especially the paralegal, was equally supportive and responsive, making the whole experience smoother than we could have imagined. We are truly grateful for everything they did to help us complete our family. Highly recommended!

He responded rapidly and kept me informed of his progress. I highly recommend Mr. Brown.

Phil was courteous and attentive. He listened patiently, interjecting questions when needed. Correspondence was sent out quickly and documents filed on time. Phil was easy to reach if I had a concern and was also excellent at contacting me when there was something to report.
I went into our first meeting with opposing counsel and my now, ex-partner feeling very anxious. Immediately it became obvious Phil was well-versed in my case. He was able to root out the weakness in opposing counsels positions, surgically dissecting inconsistencies in their arguments, showing they were ill-prepared. By the end of this first meeting I was sitting tall, knowing that I was in good hands.
It was enjoyable working with Phil. I could tell he really enjoys what he does. He treated my case like a chess game, anticipating opposing counsels moves, then figuring out how to overcome two moves ahead.
One thing I really appreciated was his honesty. He let me know potential costs and time involved with my choice of paths to take.
Sometimes in business you can get bitter and want revenge. You argue over principle rather than a fair and just outcome. Phil kept me focused on the intellectual aspect of my case rather than on my emotions that would have cost me $1000's of wasted dollars. He truly is a remarkable attorney.

Mr. Lemons worked with me on my case for an extended period of time so I feel as though I know him. He was not only clear and objective about how to proceed but was extremely easy to communicate with. I admire the fact that if he isn't 100% clear about something, he asks. On several occasions I was more than impressed with his humbleness and willingness to teach me the client about HOW we were proceeding, and WHY we were proceeding in such a manner. I never once felt like there was another client that he was seeing, which is amazing as he is the busiest attorney I know.
He is an excellent attorney, and an even better person.
Thank you Ed.

At a difficult time in my life, I had the pleasure of working with Kenton Karrasch and his paralegal Sharon Ellis. They were both very knowledgeable, professional and understood my situation and how vulnerable I was during this time. They offered guidance to me and suggested different scenarios we might come across and how to be prepared for them. With their expertise, my case was finalized with everything I had asked for. I highly recommend them knowing they will work their absolute best for you as well.

My experience with Kenton Karrasch and his paralegal Sharon at Surratt Family Law was amazing. Words cannot express that enough. Nobody can really anticipate or ever really prepare for the nightmare a family matter can be. I began my case journey not knowing what to expect and feeling lost, scared, and clueless of what to expect. Kenton and Sharon both made me feel so comfortable and made me feel heard. Not a single question or concern went unheard. They both valued my time and valued my peace of mind. They both went above and beyond. Kenton fought for fairness and fought for my rights and gave me the sense of security I deserve.
I am so grateful to have worked with the amazing team Kenton and Sharon are at such a great law practice. They truly are the best!❤️

I reached out to Darby Law Practice for assistance with a debt situation that other attorneys struggled to navigate.
Tricia Darby took on my case with kindness, patience, and understanding. She not only heard my concerns but paved the way for me to become debt-free.
Her knowledge and expertise were invaluable throughout the entire process.
The office staff, especially Mandie, were consistently kind and receptive to my calls and concerns. They made me feel welcome and supported every step of the way.
From my first appointment in late April to being fully discharged in July, Tricia and her team exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Darby Law Practice for anyone needing legal guidance and support for debt related issues.
Tricia truly changed my life, and I am forever grateful!

I had the pleasure of working with Brett and Stacey, and I couldn't be more pleased with the level of care and professionalism they provided. From the moment I reached out to them, they were attentive and truly listened to my concerns. They handled my case with integrity, working tirelessly to ensure my needs were met every step of the way.
What really stood out to me was their ability to balance professionalism with a friendly, approachable demeanor. It made a stressful situation much easier to navigate, knowing I had such dedicated and compassionate professionals in my corner. Brett and Stacey took great care of me, and I always felt confident in their representation.
I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal support—it's rare to find attorneys who combine such expertise with genuine care for their clients.

The staff at Jay Short’s is top notch they will help you in understanding how the process works. My husband was not sure about going to attorney but let’s be truthful the insurance company is not there to help you get what’s right for you, my husband got sick (not related to the worker’s compensation injury)we felt that WC insurance was pushing the settle out and low balls us. Larry and the staff got me a settlement even after my husband had passed away they still took care of everything. If you were hurt on the job call them, they will be honest and up front with you, they know what they are doing, the only regret I have is not going to them sooner.

I strongly recommend RJM&W to anyone in need of legal services in any of their practice areas. The entire staff is friendly, professional, and a pleasure to speak with. I know this not only from an internship with the firm, but also as a client. I highly recommend Rich Williamson - He has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He is a brilliant legal mind, projects a calm confidence, keeps client cost/benefit considerations in mind, and treats everyone with the utmost respect and professionalism. He has been a valuable voice of reason in a variety of areas and I look forward to working with him for years to come.

Sean Rose got us the settlement after the car accident but it was far less than the standard settlement of this kind. The law office only calculated doctors fees in the equation, disregarding property damage and possible future doctor visits. They charged us 33% percent of the settlement, THEN their office fees, THEN we had to pay doctors fees ( the one they picked which was not covered by our insurance!) When I voiced my concern , the paralegal told me that is how they do it. Also she told me the other insurance company's argument against us which sounded like our attorney was siding with. Honestly did not feel like they were on our side in the end.

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.
