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.

Our company hired Ed to represent us in a contract dispute Arbitration. Throughout, Ed was patient and assisted us in understanding our position and the technical legal aspects of our case in layman terms. This made everything so much easier to understand for us as we moved through the Arbitration. Ed took time to really understand the issues involved and the outcome was favorable to our company. I not only recommend Ed, but I hope he will represent our firm again should the need ever arise.

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.

My partner and I were in a precarious position with a third partner who tried to steal our largest client. Although other transaction attorneys were involved, it was not until James Tanner, a true litigator, got involved that we received an injunction blocking the partner from breaking our bylaws. Mr. Tanner was not only professional, but got the defendant to blatantly admit to the judge that he was in breach of the by-laws through his superior skills in cross examination and in getting the truth revealed. I would recommend him to any individual or business. He possesses a vast knowledge base and experience level in many different areas of the law.

Mr. Brennan has won cases that 99% of the lawyers would lose and created more case law favorable to victims than any other lawyer that I know. He is approachable, competent, and aggressive. I have brought him in on many cases and get immediate results when the insurance companies see his name associated with the file. When you get a complicated case and need a lawyer, call the lawyer that lawyers refer to when they have a complicated case. Call Web Brennan.

Web treated my case with dignity, compassion, respect, and is extremely knowledgeable. Web is the total package! I was seriously injured several years ago and had the honor of having Web Brennan take my case. The first time meeting him was with my parents. We were in awe of how he conducted himself as he was not the average ‘lawyer’ we expected to meet. Instead of taking advantage of us in the time crisis he gently and politely explained how to proceed without being forceful. He is truly unique, humorous, and the ultimate professional!

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 the amazing lawyers at Swope, Rodante P.A. Mr. Cathey came onto the team before trial and he worked diligently and tirelessly to help me through this tough time. He's very professional and is a master in his craft. He made sure I was understanding everything that was going on and answered every question and concern I had. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Cathey and everyone at Swope, Rodante P.A to anyone going through a similar case.

Mr. Cathey did an excellent job with my case. I was having a hard time dealing with the insurance company and getting nowhere for monthes. I was about to settle for what they offered me, but a family member referred me to Mr. Cathey. The settlement amount that Mr. Cathey negotiated with the insurance company on my behalf was 10 times more than what I expected to receive. He handled my case very quickly and professionally. He was very personable and never made me feel confused about what was going on. I especially liked that he kept me informed about the status of the case with the insurance company. I would definately call on him again if needed and would highly recommend him.

Marcus Fernandez is a top notch attorney. I hired him for an injury case. He went above and beyond my expectations. He would keep me posted on my case often, via phone calls, since my schedule didn't all time for a face to face. He was willing to incorporate my time into his schedule. One thing I have to say is that he asked me one question. "What do you expect to get out of this suit financially" he said to take a week and honestly think about it. Well I did just that. Now I could have thrown out a number and that would have been it. But I took his advice and listed all the specific details. Every night I was up in pain all night. All the days I missed work, family finances that occurred from this incident. I wrote the list so specific that I came down to every penny that I felt was owed to me, and details as to why. Mr. Fernandez called me and said that with all his experience he never had someone do that. Normally they would come up with a number and that was that. I said well you asked me to really think about it and be specific. Well that's what I did. The next step was the deposition, in which he did explain to me how difficult they defense would be and he would correct. He prepped me for just that. One thing I have to say is that at first I went with a "popular" law firm Morgan & Morgan, because of their popularity. And they dropped the ball on my case. I learned that it's not about the person with Morgan & Morgan. You're just a number there. But with Fernandez you're an individual who matters. Bottom line we won the case and he did get the amount I wanted and felt was fare. He was amazing and I would recommend him 100%.

Ms. Hibbard represented me when my insurance company denied a claim for damage to my home. I can't rate her highly enough. It was a complicated, difficult and lengthy lawsuit, with which she dealt vigorously, diligently and persistently. I received excellent advice (and I know because I myself am an attorney) and absolutely top-notch representation. She prevailed in the suit, winning a full recovery for me. I could not have asked for better. I recommend her unreservedly.

I dealt with Lizzette during the pre-litigation phase and she was great. She helped with all the in's and out's of my medical bills, PIP and answered my questions as well.

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.
