We followed our amazing lawyer, Emily Wilson, to this company when she transitioned from her previous firm - and we couldn't be happier with our decision! Our case wasn't straightforward; it involved an immigrant visa for one of our workers, complete with complications and challenges. Other firms had dismissed it as impossible, but Emily proved them wrong. Working with her was a game-changer. She's incredibly professional, highly responsive, and takes the time to explain everything in detail, no matter how complex. Her meticulous attention to even the smallest details ensured that nothing slipped through the cracks, and her goal-oriented approach kept us on track every step of the way. We've seen firsthand the kind of results she delivers, and there's no question about who we'll turn to the next time we need top-notch legal expertise. Emily doesn't just solve problems; she turns them into success stories!

I was run over by a car in December of 2022. My injuries were serious. My wife contacted Mark Fong at this firm based on friends’ advice from prior experience. My case lasted for over two years. Mark was kind, thorough, and communicative throughout. His assistant, Erica Sullivan, was also considerate, helpful, and prompt. Without revealing details, my family and I are completely pleased and satisfied with the outcome. Nothing can put things back the way they were. But Mark, his firm, and those assisting him on this case were excellent. I feel lucky to know them and consider them competent, serious, and honest. I have no other experience with law firms but strongly recommend this one based on our experience between 2022 and 2024. Francis Neely and Victoria Gatzke

I have an extremely well documented and legitimate employment matter that I need representation for. I showed this place the wrongful termination message evidence and after that they asked for all of the other messages which I submitted in a drop box, and then they decided to not take on the case. I understand not taking on cases that are not well documented, but this is a clear cut case with strong evidence. I felt that Sean, and Christine just didn't want to do any of the work. If you are looking for representation steer clear of this place.It is frustrating because I am dealing with an extremely illegal matter that they just brushed off. I personally would not trust the other reviews. Keep searching.

Update Better Business Bureau complaint against Severson & Werson due to Joel C Spann lying went UNANSWERED. Stay away from this law firm. It has no problem with its attorneys committing deformation of character. 28 U.S.Code 4101. Joel C Spann helped Bank of America commit 18 U.S.Code 371. Joel C Spann from Severson & Werson is lying to everyone to protect Bank of America. In 2016 Bank of America stole from the United States & lied to judges faces to cover that up. I told the 2016 White House. It sent everything to the CFPB. Cases were opened & investigations were started. When the 2017 CFPB took everything over, it closed all the cases. I sent the full details to the Biden Harris administration. That resulted in the FTC filling a complaint against the CFPB with the CFPB. I also forwarded the communications Joel C Spann sent to me to the CIA.

#rachet Buried my parents this past weekend. I needed $475 to finish paying for the arrangements. On Friday I got an Arbitration Award against this bank. They have 30 days to pay the award. Checked with a lender to sell the award so i can settle up on the funeral cost and need their attorney to simply verify the facts and get the info for the eventual funds transfer. Their lawyers (#Severson&Werson) silently said FY! Wait had this bank not taken my money in the first place I wouldnt need them now. So i cant even get a loan to pay for the burial? Just plain Rachetness! There are evil people in the world. The attorney LASZLO LADI could care less about anything or anyone outside himself. Thank you Jesus for social media! #WellsFargoBank Take all the time you need. Hope you decide to appeal!

Our construction company, RRA Construction, had to sue a non-paying client and Thomas came as a referral from another attorney for our case. If you are going through or have gone through a case, then you would know how imperative it is to be armed with a winning attorney. Even though we were stressed out of our minds, Thomas reassured us. He helped keep us calm throughout the process. RRA Construction was impressed with Thomas's extensive knowledge and in utilizing his services, we have become a better company in the end. We have Thomas to thank for helping us with our case.

I'm convinced that Ann Riley is the most ethical, competent, and intelligent divorce attorney in the Bay Area. I interviewed a lot of lawyers and many of them were simply not confident about the law and fairly apathetic. Ann really cares in a way that is helpful. She doesn't waste your time, she is able to be firm when needed, and is extremely logical. She has a good understanding of the family court system in SF. Opposing counsel was unprofessional and difficult and Ms. Riley refused to engage, knowing that it would cost me more if she did so and that it wouldn't get me any further ahead. A lot of attorneys like to engage in time wasting activities because they know they can get away with billing you for them - there wasn't a single line item in Ms.Riley's bill that was questionable - she deserved every penny of her retainer. I wish I had met Ann under different circumstances but I'm really grateful to have met her when I did. She gives me hope that there are still decent and good people who find value in doing the right thing.

Update Better Business Bureau complaint against Severson & Werson due to Joel C Spann lying went UNANSWERED. Stay away from this law firm. It has no problem with its attorneys committing deformation of character. 28 U.S.Code 4101. Joel C Spann helped Bank of America commit 18 U.S.Code 371. Joel C Spann from Severson & Werson is lying to everyone to protect Bank of America. In 2016 Bank of America stole from the United States & lied to judges faces to cover that up. I told the 2016 White House. It sent everything to the CFPB. Cases were opened & investigations were started. When the 2017 CFPB took everything over, it closed all the cases. I sent the full details to the Biden Harris administration. That resulted in the FTC filling a complaint against the CFPB with the CFPB. I also forwarded the communications Joel C Spann sent to me to the CIA.

#rachet Buried my parents this past weekend. I needed $475 to finish paying for the arrangements. On Friday I got an Arbitration Award against this bank. They have 30 days to pay the award. Checked with a lender to sell the award so i can settle up on the funeral cost and need their attorney to simply verify the facts and get the info for the eventual funds transfer. Their lawyers (#Severson&Werson) silently said FY! Wait had this bank not taken my money in the first place I wouldnt need them now. So i cant even get a loan to pay for the burial? Just plain Rachetness! There are evil people in the world. The attorney LASZLO LADI could care less about anything or anyone outside himself. Thank you Jesus for social media! #WellsFargoBank Take all the time you need. Hope you decide to appeal!

Our construction company, RRA Construction, had to sue a non-paying client and Thomas came as a referral from another attorney for our case. If you are going through or have gone through a case, then you would know how imperative it is to be armed with a winning attorney. Even though we were stressed out of our minds, Thomas reassured us. He helped keep us calm throughout the process. RRA Construction was impressed with Thomas's extensive knowledge and in utilizing his services, we have become a better company in the end. We have Thomas to thank for helping us with our case.

This man is a horrible lawyer, as far as I’m concerned he is a criminal, and a bully - he billed my family over $80,000 and didn’t fight to present crucial evidence when it came down to the wire.. He is a liar, a megalomaniac, a horrible person, and I would absolutely NOT recommend him unless your willing to waste tens of thousands of dollars to listen to him lecture and insult you while telling you crucial evidence is worthless. He abandoned me twice during hearings he promised to appear for, as he said he would not leave me out to dry - yet abandoned me day of the trials/hearings and I lost horribly due to his malpractice and misrepresentation of his skill set I went in on my own for trial and was ten times more effective than he was in all three years of his representation combined! I will gladly share more information with anyone considering hiring Wallace. Unlike him, I’m not scared to present it. He has threatened to sue me for defamation when he knows he’s failed me as an attorney - the only thing he did well was a deposition - which Yorker a ton of evidence he never presented. This man is a joke and a hot head - do not waste your money or energy depending on him to do the honest Abe ethical thing. Feel free to message me for further detail and evidence. I’m reporting him to the bar and trying to recover the money wasted on this man’s ego.

Mr. Kodani is the worst employment attorney, stay far away from him. He is completely and utterly incapable of answering questions and if you ask him too may questions regarding your case he becomes highly upset. He never returns emails, phone calls, or text messages in a time manner. He decided to drop my case after 4 months into it because I asked way too many questions. I asked him during the 4 months has he even started the case and his answer was not yet! I couldn't understand what he was waiting for considering I gave him every piece of evidence he asked for. He started my case at the end od 2011, we are in the beginning of 2012 (March) and yet no progress and he decides to drop my case due to the fact I ask way too many questions. If you decide to use this attorney, you're better off representing yourself!!

This attorney is not an attorney of his word. He is merely filing or allowing hired staff to file bogus and frivolous cases in which the higher courts have ruled years ago (thirsty). He was merely accusing the Riverside Court as just standing around at this court as if they do nothing all day? What happened to loyalty which he has none to his fellow colleagues? This attorney needs to be reprimanded by the State Bar for sure.

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.
