Russell was great! We had false claims against myself and 2 coaches. Fortunately, everything has been cleared. But, because of the disorganization of USA Gymnastics' Safe Sport (now Safety and Response), it took over a year.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Russ and everything that he has done for me. I called him up one day, completely unsure of what I was doing with my case, my story, and SafeSport. Russ gave me all of the answers and guidance that I needed, and helped me get the closure that I was searching for. There is no one else I would have rather gone to, and I am extremely grateful for everything Russ and his company has done for me.

After talking to a reputable bankruptcy attorney not once but twice within a year time frame we felt no compassion and made zero effort to help us. A co-worker recommended I called the office of Heath Denancourt and it was the best decision we could have ever made. Heath was extremely knowledgeable, informative and made us feel very comfortable. Heath never guaranteed anything but assured us he would do his best to help. He was confident but cautious. We respected that and hired him immediately. Throughout the entire process with bumps we did not see coming he always made sure we understood everything and kept us in the loop. Even after the process we had questions and Heath never hesitated to assisted. We are truly thankful for Heath and would highly recommend his services.

I went through a divorce and it left me in a financial ruin. I consulted with Heath. He explained my legal options, executed the legal procedures and provided me a new financial slate. At least now I have a chance to achieve my financial and retirement goals. He's very responsive to my inquiry and kept me informed of progress in my case. Very appreciative of his services.

I had the privilege to be a client of Coffman Law. Mr. Coffman, Ms. Denae and David were just amazing to work with. Although, the circumstances that sent me to them were very stressful the Coffman team kept me grounded. They were professional in everything the did and made me and my family feel like family. When the insurance company that my employment uses for short term disabality refused to pay and reviewed and denied my STD 3 times and stated my illnesses and disabilities would not keep me from working I hired Coffman Law to represent me and my family. Before I hired Mr. Coffman I had interviewed at least 5 other attorneys that are probably good at what the do but I didn't feel that they truly cared about me, the I interviewed Mr. Coffman. This team is not just about getting your money, you can feel they truly care about the people the represent. The Coffman team got my STD approve and back pay paid. They also got my LTD approved. If you need help with your STD or LTD I highly recommended Mr. Coffman and team at Coffman Law.

A trusted friend referred me to Gary after being to help with the legal filings for my start up business.

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident and the insurance company offered a very minimal settlement offer. Thanks to Gary who was very knowledgeable about the ways of personal injury we settled for far more than I had expected. It was a pleasure working with him and his staff, they were very polite and professional and explained all the steps along with way. I would HIGHLY recommend Gary if you ever need the services of a personal injury attorney.

Mr. Miller came to us by way of recommendation from a public adjuster. Our case involved an insurance company that offered to settle our claim from damages resulting from a collapsed sewer line and subsequent flooding of 1/3 of our small home. Carpeting, base boards, sheetrock in 2 bedrooms, wall and floor tile, base boards, sheetrock, a shower and a tub in 2 separate bathrooms, all compromised by sewer water, brought an offer of $2000 to settle from the insurance company. We hired a public adjuster who helped us enormously and we got another $6000. Our adjuster said we now needed a really good attorney. He suggested we contact Gary L. Miller. We did and it was the best move we could have made. Mr. Miller gained 10's of thousands in settlement for us, and we are now restoring our home properly. Thank you Gary, for restoring our hope.

Marie is an exceptional human being, and the greatest lawyer you will ever find. When our house flooded over two years ago, we didn’t know what to do. Our house was destroyed, insurance denied our claim, my newborn baby was ill from the water/mold damage, and I was lost. It was such a dark time. I didn’t know where to go, what to do, or who to talk to. All I knew is that I needed to leave my home to keep my child in a safe environment, and that my house needed to be completely gutted and rebuilt. But where to begin? How could I afford it? Why wasn’t insurance doing what I paid for? I didn’t know how to answer ANY of those questions. Marie was like a knight in shining legal armor. At no upfront cost, she not only went to bat for me against my homeowner’s insurance, but she also helped me navigate where to go, who to talk to, and in what order to start tackling the demolition/reconstruction of my house. She was there with my family every step of the way. She communicated, even if there was nothing to say. She got angry with me, she got angry FOR me. She fought for us where we couldn’t, and NEVER gave up. It wasn’t easy and it was a very long road, but Marie knew our worth. She put us first always, even if it meant putting herself on the backburner. Now over two years later, we have finally moved back into our finished home, received a check from the insurance company to cover the costs, and finally can look forward instead of backwards. There are not enough words to communicate my sincere gratitude towards Marie – but I will never stop singing her praises.

Marie was extremely professional, thorough, and unrelenting in resolving my dispute with my home insurer over roof damage. She quickly convinced the insurance company to fully pay the damage claim rather than the 1/3 the insurance company offered me. You can be guaranteed I will use Marie for all my future lawyer needs. Marie, I thank you again for the excellent work you did for me and my family. She saved me over $10K in unnecessary expenses.

I had an issue with my landlord; my apartment flooded, and despite my repeated attempts at contact, the landlord did nothing about it, so I was forced to hire a company to come deal with my flooded apartment. The landlord then falsely claimed it was my responsibility to pay the bill, despite clear language in the lease that it was their responsibilty because I hired this company without their permission, even though I only had to do this because they weren't doing anything themselves!
After months of not being able to resolve this, I finally sought out Mr. Wolbers. He took my case immediately, on a totally reasonable contingency. The entire duration of the case he was prompt, polite, personable, and professional. He did everything I wanted, and more, and I just now received my settlement for the dispute, for the entire amount I was asking for, including all the legal fees I had paid!
I would recommend Mr. Wolbers to anyone who asked, I can't think of any way he could have handled my case better.

After my long-winded explanation, Tristan gave me advice, and pointers on how to proceed. I was able to resolve the matter thanks to him. Tristan is knowledgeable, honest, and fair. He is not the kind of attorney that will scare you into hiring him, listing all of the endless legal ramifications. He gave me peace of mind. I recommend him to anyone seeking tenant representation.

After a plumbing malfunction caused a major flood, I needed guidance on getting indemnified for an insurance claim and and a dispute with the landlord. Patrick did a great job keeping me calm and confirmed everything I needed to do before he even began representing me.
He attempted to negotiate for a faster settlement. Neither party involved attempted to move from their original position, in fact one party tried to issue payment for less than the amount they agreed to pay prior. We ended up filing in court and managed to settle for a fair amount on both cases.
I would recommend Patrick as he was extremely responsive to all my requests and questions. He kept me in the loop on all hearings and gave me the option of involvement on each step along the way.

We hired Patrick Brennan for our case against a major timeshare corporation - and we WON! My husband and I were losing sleep over our pending lawsuit. Patrick was very calming and reassuring to us. He kept in constant contact with us every step of the way. This was not a short process, four years total and Patrick sat by our sides during it all: litigations, depositions and finally the trial. Patrick was very professional yet down to earth and explained any legal "jargon" that we didn't understand. He encouraged us to ask questions and call him if we ever needed to. When we were offered a settlement, Patrick explained pros/cons but ultimately left the decision up to us. I would definitely hire Patrick Brennan again and would highly recommend him to others.

Aggressive, enthusiastic, and impressively thorough, Ed Kuchinski consistently brings to the table a wealth of extensive experience and unwavering commitment to his clients. No matter the case, the question, or the challenge at hand, I can always call upon Ed to provide clear, consistent, and valuable insight that leads to quick resolutions. Very rarely do you come across an attorney who is so charismatic, effective, and well respected in his community and line of work that even the opposing counsel very often likes him. I call Ed “part warrior, part diplomat” because he gets the job done, is an advocate for his clients, and offers his services with a perfect balance of firmness, clarity, and utmost professionalism. I would definitely recommend hiring Ed Kuchinski.

Ed Kuchinski has the real-life experience in real estate law I needed as a Tampa property owner to navigate a complex issue involving an insolvent general contractor, subcontractors, and their insurance companies. Having considerable practice in construction litigation and insurance disputes, he had experience resolving cases like mine. At our first meeting he gave me a clear overview of what he could do on my behalf and outlined what actions we needed to take. I came to Ed feeling overwhelmed and he put me at ease right away. At every step, he kept me well informed of our progress, accurately anticipated challenges, and clearly explained the choices we needed to make. Ed is very responsive and an excellent communicator. I am grateful to the attorney who recommended Ed to me, and to Ed for a settlement that exceeded my expectations.

Mike Koulianos was a great help in a stressful situation. He never made me feel like I had to give him a call for an update of where he was with the case. Mike would always consistently check in with me and reached out to me and it was genuine, checking on me if i was ok from the accident and how I was feeling physically. Mike was professional through out the whole process. It was a first time I was in a car accident and felt over whelmed at first but as soon as Mike took over I felt like I could breath and let him handle it. He is someone I will be recommend to friends and family.

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.
