Down to earth, competent, cool guy that never talks down to you and always listens, gives you the time, doesn't cut you off. We didn't move forward but he has a 5.0 for a reason and did a great job with my friend and gave me a solid referral.

There’s a reason he’s got so many reviews and all five stars, now I’d give 10, but not an option. This is about a decade late but I ran across an old email and figured I’d check in/leave my thoughts. I’ve never had an attorney be so friendly /understanding and work so damn hard (I’ve worked w many). Hes a unique breed and having worked for law firms In the area, gotten to know many local esq’s etc (as a legal assistant), id choose him any day. He followed up with me long after I felt “things” were more than fine, and every call meant so much. Last time I saw him I believe was in TPA Int..comes up, “thought that was you, how are things, any changes etc”. Trust me, you found the right guy here!! Won’t ever forget ya bud! Btw- office looks nice! I was there for the early days :) moved away but will be in the Bay on NYE. Your Number plugged in to phone JUST in case :) jk jk. Cheers !

Brandon and his team are literally THE BEST. I worked with two cheap attorneys before I found Brandon and I got exactly what I paid for which was representation that didn’t care, didn’t put the time in and didn’t fight for me. Brandon‘s previous experience as a police officer and private detective were very helpful in uncovering all of the hidden assets in my case. Brandon always worked to try to get my ex and I to settle outside of court rather than rack up more fees and unnecessary cost. That really stood out to me. Every hearing that I had with Brandon on my side, I felt safe, I felt like he was fighting for me, and I felt like he actually cared. His team was absolutely a pleasure to work with even through the gruesome things such as gathering financial affidavit, and a ridiculous amount of documents requested by opposing counsel. I could not have been happier with the service I was given in my extremely difficult case. I worked with Brandon for almost an entire year and he never got lazy. He never slacked off. He always gave 100%. Thanks Brandon and team!!!

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.

Hiring jonah was Was the best decision I could have made! My fiancé was facing a probation violation that carried a potential sentence of 5 years in prison and it was not looking good. by the time I hired Jonah He was the third lawyer on the case And the only lawyer that took the time to listen to the situation in full and understand the complexities surrounding it. He was willing to take the case and do his best to correct some things that had not been done All while maintaining a positive and very patient demeanor. He he was diligent in his research on the case, and it paid off because he was able to get my fiance the Best possible outcome for his situation. I could not be happier with his representation and would highly recommend him to anybody in need of a criminal defense lawyer. We will definitely stick with Jonah for any matters that may come our way in the future!

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.

I went in here for notarization two times on the 9th of July. Super friendly staff and Mr Moreno too! I asked him if he could assist me in a real estate issue and he said yes and to send him my file. I received an acknowledgement of receipt and that someone would get back to me. This was the second week of July. I called 3 weeks later and I was told someone would get back to me and then radio silence. This case is very sensitive to my livelihood and urgency is necessary in light of a party that is involved and her expected life span. Mr Moreno's and the staff friendliness made me comfortable in asking for legal assistance. I did a ton of investigation before sending this file as to the location of parties involved and was always willing to investigate more. Not sure what to do now...

I had a great experience with this firm. Even though it took me roughly 2 years to complete the attorney's requested documents for my uncontested divorce, they never once made me feel that I was burdening them by asking many questions and taking as long as I did to finalize.

This program , the Law Firm, the Attorney’s, and everything they do for our community and the people of our community is absolutely amazing! My attorney Mr Brooks Fusselman and his associates helped me through a major crisis I was facing with an elderly landlord who didn’t even live in this country. This landlord tried to put me and my very young child on the street. The “Property Manager” is her alcoholic tenant who dwells downstairs from the house I leased for 12 months. He doesn’t like the noise of a child running down the hallway, or his bath time, etc.. therefore I was considered a “noise problem”. Once Mr Brooks and the very generous people of Community Law Program took my case and started looking into the eviction process…they immediately took legal action to protect me and my child, giving me extra time to prepare for our sudden move and a new place to call home.. I could not have done this if it wasn’t for the kind hearted people at Community Law Program. Thanks again to all of you.

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.
