Mr. Pillsbury was a breath of fresh air when it comes to legal matters. He was straight forward; knowledgeable; and easily explained the judicial processes. Mr. Pillsbury spoke with empathy to my concerns & gave me the best & worst scenario outcomes in my traffic citation case. Thank you for keeping your legal fees reasonable. My experience with Guardline Law was exceptional.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service I received from Tucker Disability Law. After facing multiple rejections from the VA and two other law firms, I felt hopeless and discouraged. After my first consultation with Tucker Disability Law, John contacted me, and I felt renewed hope. Their team is not only knowledgeable and experienced in handling VA disability cases, but they also genuinely care about my situation. They took the time to listen to my story, understand my challenges, and outline a clear plan for my appeal. The commitment and dedication they demonstrated throughout the process were remarkable. They kept me informed every step of the way, answered all my questions, and provided the support I needed during a stressful time. Thanks to their expertise and persistence, I secured a 100% disability rating—a result I had almost given up on. I highly recommend Tucker Disability Law to anyone seeking assistance with VA disability claims. They truly go above and beyond for their clients, and I am immensely grateful for their help. Thank you, John, Emma, and the entire Tucker Law Team!

I have been very happy with Attorney Tucker and his team. I was referred to him by a relative of mine who works with him professionally, and told me that he is extremely knowledgeable, and that he is highly principled. She said that she goes to him when she has questions suitable to his legal specialty.
Legal matters are intimidating and they take a VERY long time, and the Tucker team has supported and guided me throughout this challenging process.
Attorney Tucker assigned a paralegal, Tyler, to my case. Tyler has been extremely kind, helpful, responsive, and thorough. He has the perfect calm and respectful demeanor. Of note, using a paralegal also helps keep costs down.
Of course, any legal services will be expensive. There was also an option to pay on contingency of winning the case, which is helpful for those who cannot afford to pay for services.
Either way, I am confident that the services and peace of mind are well worth it in the long run. I am glad to now have this relationship with Attorney Tucker and his team for my ongoing and future needs.
Consider this a five star review!

This law firm, headed by John Tucker, has done an excellent job.
The lawyer for our case was Daniel Clarke and we can't say enough good things about his attention to detail, knowledge of the VA system and the law regarding it, and perhaps more importantly, his personal and professional interactions with us.

I will start off with my personal experience of saying that I did not realize that long term disability companies were only in the business of rejecting claims with the hope that you ultimately give up.
To take the time to fight them you need a team of legal professionals that have a wealth of experience in dealing with their tactics and can help connect the dots.
My husband and I will forever be thankful for the team at The Law Offices of Nancy L. Cavey!
Nancy, Krysti and their team fought and won my husbands long term disability case for him and it has put our lives back together.
It was a daunting task facing the complex world of long term disability but Nancy Cavey law firm expertly guided us every step of the way!
Krysti, specifically, was so attentive to our questions and concerns and we appreciate her so much! We know without their help we would have never seen a dime. This office will be a tireless, hardworking and honest advocate for you and is the only law office we recommend.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done for us Nancy Cavey Law.

There are few things more daunting than applying for disability and having to prove your disability while suffering and desperate for help. Nancy Cavey and her team are experienced, professional, SUCCESSFUL, compassionate, extremely competent and are on the side of TRUTH. Nobody asks for a debilitating illness or injury. Losing One’s livelihood can be devastating and scary and it is cruel that deserving applicants are often denied. Rest assured that Cavey Law will help you every step of the way by fully understanding your unique situation and helping you provide the documentation needed to receive the help you desperately need and deserve. I have a very severe, painful and complicated chronic illness and I honestly do not believe I would be here today if Cavey Law had not represented me and won my difficult case. They give you timelines, tell you what you need to do, what THEY will be doing on your behalf and what to expect along the way. Instead of getting bogged down or distracted by less important aspects of your case or irrelevant paperwork, they streamline what you need to focus on and you can let go of the rest and let them do their work! Ms Cavey’s experience, track record, reputation and professionalism are all in your favor. If you have a hearing, rest assured Ms Cavey knows how to fight for your case and your benefits. If she takes you on as a client, she believes you and it shows. The best thing you can do to experience any quality of life again is have Cavey in your Corner!

I had a traffic violation and wanted to avoid points removal from my license. I simply didn’t want my insurance to go up. Jim took my case and I did not have to move a finger. I almost forgot about it. He diligently handled it and followed up. The result... a positive conclusion: No points. No traffic school. No insurance raise. :)

Mr Jenkins took my insurance case on a contingency with a highly successful conclusion. My insurance company initially rejected my claim because they attributed the damage to wear and tear and not to any claim related cause. But they were no match for my Mr Jenkins and his highly talented staff. Mr Jenkins had his own experts make examinations and knew he had the law on his side and how to counter the insurance rejection. Ultimately we settled giving me more than enough to complete the repairs.

This is my second time hiring Brian Hoag to handle my car accident claim. It was a no-brained for me. The first experience with Mr. Hoag was amazing all around. He really does fight for you and keeps you informed the whole time of what’s going on with your case. Ultimately, no one wants to be in a bad auto accident but it’s great to know there are people like Mr. Hoag out there ready to help you so you can get the treatment you need. He’s very knowledgeable, caring, and thorough in his work. Highly recommend!

I met Adam during a very stressful time in my life. I wasn't even sure I had a case but after meeting with him I was confident that I picked an attorney that would do his best on my behalf.

I have just successfully completed a very prolonged and convoluted legal struggle with not just one but two insurance companies serving the Fort Lauderdale area of Florida. My insurance company and a construction company refused to even consider compensating me for very severe damage to my condominium by the latter during an outside rehabilitation of the overall building. The direction of the battle with both changed drastically when, on a recommendation, I contacted Attorney Kristin Demers-Crowell at Christopher Ligori & Associates, Attorneys at Law, in Tampa, FL.
Attorney Demers-Crowell and my relationship started with a long phone conversation during which she patiently and carefully listened to the facts of the case as I saw them. At the end of this phone conversation I felt sure that I was dealing with a serious, very knowledgeable, experienced, empathetic and polished professional. She gave me a list of items she required to allow fuller digestion of the facts and already in my mind’s eye I could see her sleeves being rolled up to do battle on my behalf.
The battle with my insurance company took a couple of years to win. During the maneuverings to limit the insurance company’s liabilities by their legal team at depositions, mediation and in written correspondence I was absolutely amazed by the cool, solid & knowledge based responses and demands by my unruffled attorney. I will at this point just say that we had a very good win. The latter could even be better described as a “win-win” because as part of the settlement with the insurance company she was able to prevail on them to allow us follow their subrogation claim on the builders insurance which resulted in further compensation for my damages.
I am extremely grateful to Attorney Demers-Crowell for standing by me for a prolonged period of time against two behemoths of the insurance industry. Her knowledge, approach and tenacity won the battle. Her thoughtful and reassuring approach kept me calm throughout the ordeal.

On multiple occasions our the insurance company for our home rejected our claims for the damage a sink hole had caused. Thankfully, Kristin Demers-Crowell stepped in and took charge of an incredibly frustrating process that had been strung out almost two decades. Within 4 months of her taking over my wife and I received a settlement check for the damage associated with the sink hole that enabled us to repair the our home. Without her expert guidance and professional help with a top notch geologist there is little question we would never have received a settlement from our insurance company. Suffice it to say Kristin Demers-Crowell was both efficient and incredibly effective and we are delighted to provide an unqualified recommendation.

Several years ago, my house was burglarized. Mrs. Demers-Crowell provided guidance and advice as I gathered documentation of the items that were stolen in order to submit them to my insurance company. She was the perfect combination of comforting and realistic regarding what I should expect during the difficult process. Thanks to Mrs. Demers-Crowell, it is my belief that I was able to receive more money from my insurance company than I ever would have had I not consulted her. I will be forever grateful to her and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a lawyer's services.

One night I was struck on my motorcycle by a car making a blind left-hand turn. It left me hospitalized and unable to walk for about half a year. I was at rock bottom and I had no idea what to do until I met Mrs. Miles and Swope, Rodante P.A. They did everything they could and more to help me through this time. They made sure I understood everything that was going on and answered all of my questions and concerns. Mrs. Miles is very professional and she worked her hands to the bone prepping for trial and I'm glad I chose her and Swope, Rodante P.A to represent me. I will definitely recommend Mrs. Miles and everyone at Swope, Rodante P.A to anyone going through a similar case.

I had a serious injury, emotionally devastating and physically debilitating. My wife and I were fortunate that some one recommended Jeff Colman and Andy Klymenko.
They were able to find coverage where 9 out of 10 lawyers wouldn’t have and they stuck with it through the highs and the lows and came out with great results for everyone. Never once were they not fully engaged in our situation. You read about this kind of lawyer the hero who sticks by his client through it all. I feel funny saying it, it sounds so cliché but it’s true! This happened for us we lived it. They never wavered. Their work was of the highest standard…we know this because opposing counsel commented on the brilliance of our team.
We are amazed in the end, their fairness and humility not common. Everything so right on! What a firm. Had to write this I’m not a review person. It’s important to help others get real help when up against an insurance company and the like. They have so much money and power you really need a lawyer who knows his stuff and has integrity. Justice was served and it is because of Jeff and Andy.

Mr. Saron represented me for an auto accident claim. He walked me through each step of the claims process and always gave me clear answers to my questions. He never tried to lead me in any direction that I was not comfortable with. He was honest about how he viewed my case. He was also obviously respected by the defense attorneys in the area once the case went to litigation. They did not seem to want to go to trial against him and gave me a fair offer to avoid it. I would absolutely return to Mr. Saron and would recommend him to everyone!

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Brooks as he was our attorney on a few cases thus far. Always the professional, Brooks digs into the details, figures all the angles and anticipates all the moves going forward. Like watching a Chess master working his craft. Brooks has participated in large and small cases for us, always with the same fire and passion. Recently he worked a case for us, he was basically by himself with research and prep as his aides were unavailable. Not only was he well prepared at trial, he blew away the plaintiff and the case was won! You can find attorneys out there on every corner it seems, but if you want fire, passion and determination to win your case, try Brooks out. He will represent you and win!

First of all, I would really like to say thank yu to Donnie. He has helped me in more ways than one, because of Mr. Kilfin's hard work I will remain a free man and still have a clean record!! As any of you know that peace of mind is priceless.
Donnie was more than an exceptional lawyer practicing at the top of his profession. He consistently went above and beyond in all aspects of handling my case. He personally kept me informed of how my case was evolving. Always calling me himself with updates often on the weekend. Donnie was always reachable by cell for any advisement or questions that I had.
Without a doubt Donnie was a blessing. He represented a family member a decade ago and got his case dismissed, so when I needed to retain an attorney my parents knew just who to call. In fact, other attorneys I spoke with thought I was done for but Donnie was confident from the get go that he could get my case dropped.
Do yourself a favor and sit down with Donnie Kilfin for a consultation regarding your circumstances. You will not regret it. I pray I never need his services again but if I do I wouldn't use any other criminal attorney. Donnie has earned my respect and appreciation. He is the GOAT in my opinion.

Donnie made me feel comfortable, and welcome from the moment I shook his hand. Upon meeting him in his office, I was blown away by his knowledge, and confidence in his criminal legal defense system. His effectiveness, and reliability are second to none. He formulated a plan, put it into action, and made everything happen that we had discussed. You can not put a price on freedom, this is for sure. His dedication and hard work made me feel as if he was working on a case for his own family members. Needless to say, I trust him enough to call him my brother. If you need a criminal defense attorney, look no further, this is your law firm!

Rohom possesses knowledge, a high EQ, and a drive towards outcomes... combine that with ethics and integrity and you have the perfect attorney - and dare I say a priceless one.
We were able to come to resolutions probably faster than some others in my situation, because of Rohom's ability to work well and sensibly with all parties (it certainly helped that all parties were genuinely interested in reaching a resolution).
He and April are responsive and their availability matches the urgency. That my situation wasn't urgent at all and we still managed to get things resolved in a short period of time is a blessing.
Rohom is a treasure - and for that I would be judicious in my recommendations as he deserves to work with mature, fair, and reasonable clients.

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.

What Does an Insurance Lawyer Do?

- 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.

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.
