Crystal was a fantastic lawyer from start to finish, working with me through this whole process. She not only assured me that everything would be done smoothly and with caution, but she answered all my questions and made sure I got the best compensation for my case. When I came to her office, I was so unsure of the outcome and was afraid of the situation, but she made it so simple and I appreciate that more than she could imagine. Being on the receiving end of the accident had caused a lot of pain and stress, but Crystal lightened that burden from the start.

I called Crystal for help with my construction business. After calling 3 other firms and spending more than 2 hours explaining my situation, Crystal was able to work thru the details and get me set up with what I needed in less than 15 minutes. I KNOW who my first call will be if I ever need help again. A true professional. Thanks Crystal McDonald!

Crystal McDonald is hands down the best lawyer in the area. she is focused dedicated to her clients and works to get you what you need and stays on top of things. i was in a car accident and had been dealing with the insurance company on my own and all they wanted to do was play games with my claim even though i was 100% not at fault, as soon as i hired crystal all that changed i was able to continue with my treatment and i have been receiving the treatment and support needed from her as well as medical staff to recover! overall a great lawyer!

Mr. Hurst is the rare combination of a great lawyer and astute businessman. Combined with his fearlessness and truly deep knowledge of the industry he serves, Mr. Hurst will find a solution to your problem. Few know the maritime industry as well as Mr. Hurst, an expertise he has garnered over a lifetime of exposure. Fewer still know the relevant law as intimately as Mr. Hurst, a deep well of knowledge he has accumulated in his nearly ten years in practice. Virtually no one possess those skills in combination with Mr. Hurst’s innate business acumen. Of all the things that make Mr. Hurst an effective legal advocate, his ability to harness his skills in service of your broader business goals is what sets him apart. What that means is, if you hire Mr. Hurst, you get more than a lawyer. You get a problem solver who does not lose sight of the bigger picture and narrowly focus on the legal issues. Mr. Hurst understands business and he understands people. He knows when to wield the carrot and when to brandish the stick. He is in the trenches with you and he is a pleasure to work with throughout the typically unpleasant legal process. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Mr. Hurst recently advised me on a very stressful case. His diligence and professionalism, combined with his human compassion is it what truly sets him apart from the rest. So many lawyers treat people like an hourly fee, not like a person who is going through a serious life event. I highly recommend him for your legal needs. He is on my speed dial as my #1 choice for my attorney needs.

He also made himself avaliable when ever I needed him, which I greatly appeciated after working with many other firms. I don't believe I could have found a better attorney. I will be using his services for years to come and would recommend him without hesitation.

Ken and Terry Venneberg went up against one of the most formidable Corporations in the world, Morgan Stanley. No other attorney firms had the "guts" to take them on. It was a good case, but "the good 'ol boys" were not going to budge no matter how much it cost them. Ken and Terry stuck it out, kept me informed, were honest and very knowledgeable. We agreed upon a settlement one week before the trial began because Morgan Stanley, in all their arrogance, forgot to get a nondisclosure and that was what I really wanted. To be able to shout it from the "rooftops". I thank Ken and Terry from the bottom of my heart, Deborah J. Dodson

Barry Abbott has been engaged by the companies and banks for which I have worked on several occasions to advise on legal and business matters. These were premier companies and banks, and required the best in advice and counsel. The matters were complex, and the areas of law were challenging. Barry delivered outstanding counsel and the performance of the team of attorneys he assembled and led met or exceeded requirements in each instance. Given the scope and complexity of certain of these matters, it was important to maintain constant control and communication regarding the issues and the fees. Barry communicated timely and effectively, both with good news and disappointments. The first of these engagements was in the mid-1980's and have continued through the present. His technical knowledge (and reputation) are second to none.

I was a scared 21 year old and he made me feel okay with the whole process. He told me from day 1 that the insurance had 3 years before court and it would take them almost 3 years to agree to settle. He was honest and compassionate. I would hire him again if I ever needed his help.

Lara Herrmann is top notch and has earned my highest recommendation. She handled my case with such ease, and I was able to get the medical care that I needed. She can be very hands on, or in my case, I preferred to do everything over the phone and electronically. They were amazing, so on top of it and not once did I have to follow up with them to check on where they were at in the process. She will relieve you from many, many headaches and provide the advice you are seeking. I have already referred them two cases, and I plan to continue to send close friends and family their way.

I was fortunate enough to have friends in the field of law that knew Bill. He came highly recommended as an attorney to represent me after a recent auto accident injury. I gave him a call and boy am I glad I did! First of all, he knew quite a bit about my injury and helped me navigate finding the right doctors and treatments. Even with a good primary care physician, I couldn’t quite seem to figure out a roadmap that would help me address my injury and pain. But most importantly, he did a great job negotiating an excellent settlement for me. Not only that, Bill was able to make this happen before our court date. For a personal injury attorney, I would go nowhere else. Thank you Bill Robison! I am so glad to know you.

Bill Robison is an excellent and experienced personal injury attorney.I was hospitalized from an auto accident. The insurance company refused to pay anything and I was accused of things I didn't do, by the other driver and witness. My case required a great attorney and talented strategist for the truth of what actually happened in the accident to be revealed. Bills well prepared,methodical questioning in the deposition, combined with how he introduced the evidence, forced the truth to come out. Bill tailored his representation from calm, to appropriate aggressive targeted questions. Impressive balance that brought results! This led to compensation from the insurance company. Hospital bills were also handled in such a way to bring about the best financial stress relief for me .Bill is personable, and has a down to earth quality to his personality,which made a stressful situation easier to deal with .I highly recommend Bill Robison for his well prepared and strategic  approach,his calm to aggressive representation, and personable demeanor with his clients.

Bill Robison took my car accident case after I had muddled through it for over a year. I was injured severely by a 16 year old driver and had the expectation that the insurance companies would take care of me and all the bills and my car.... after a little over a year I decided I couldn't do it anymore. I contacted Bill Robison by the recommendation of a friend and it was the best decision I have EVER made. He walked me through the process, helped me understand why I wasn't getting any help from either my company or the other drivers. After he took my case I was able to concentrate on healing and moving forward with my life! Bill is the absolute best person I have ever had the pleasure of working with and he is an incredible attorney! His office staff is also amazing and their communication is excellent. You always feel they are working on just your case, that you are the priority of the day!

We had gotten in a head on car accident in Vancouver, WA that I was not at fault. I was driving and my 13 yo daughter was in the passenger seat.

His expertise, specifically on matters of insurance were top notch. He did a great job explaining complicated insurance concepts in a way that we as a Board could understand so we could make educated decisions. He and the rest of the legal team also would attend meetings with owners to help clarify the more challenging issues and answer questions. This was a huge support of the association Board.

Not a simple case but with successful outcomes. Arguments were researched, well thought out and documented. A personal injury firm was looking to include me as a defendant in an accident case. Being the father of the primary defendant and having provided the funds to purchase the vehicle involved the verdict could have gone either way. The case was tried by a jury and I was released. In preparation and for the duration of the event the communication was outstanding.

Recently I had a dispute with my medical insurance company. They denied coverage for expensive clinical tests that had already been performed leaving me responsible for the entire bill that I could not afford. Despite the facts that I presented to them to support my case they twice denied my formal appeals. In less than one week after Miichael Morgan's involvement the situation was resolved. To say I am pleased with his service is an understatement. Michael Morgan's quick effective action saved me from a frustrating stuation and allowed me to have the required surgery. He also advised me exactly how to deal with medical billing to keep the unpaid debt from going to collections. His expertise, confidence and communication were exceptional. I will recommend him to my friends.

From the moment I was recommended to Adler Giersch Personal Injury Law by someone I trust, I knew I was in good hands. Reflecting on my journey, I can confidently say that my only regret is not reaching out to them sooner in the process of dealing with my personal injury claim. My journey began with a car accident that left me grappling with lingering pain and injury for nearly three years. Initially, I felt confident in navigating the complexities of the claim process alone, buoyed by trust in my car insurance company. However, as time passed, it became increasingly apparent that my health and recovery were not their top priorities. The stress of managing doctor appointments and negotiating with insurance companies became overwhelming. Enter Richard Adler and his exceptional team. From the moment I consulted with them, I felt a profound sense of relief and support. Richard, recommended to me by a trusted source, ensured that I felt heard and understood. He seamlessly connected me with the dynamic legal duo of Arthur Leritz and Elisabeth Ruff. Arthur's professionalism and expertise were evident from our first interaction. He not only validated the severity of my injury but also instilled in me the confidence to pursue the closure of my claim while prioritizing my health. Elisabeth's meticulous attention to detail and genuine warmth made me feel truly cared for throughout the process. Their combined efforts allowed me to focus on my recovery while they adeptly handled communication with both insurance companies. The Settlement Letter they prepared was a testament to their dedication and expertise. It encapsulated three years of challenges and setbacks, empowering me as I prepared to move forward from the accident. The strength and professionalism exhibited by the entire team at Adler Giersch were instrumental in reaching a settlement and reclaiming hope for the future. I am forever grateful to Richard, Arthur, Elisabeth, and the entire team at Adler Giersch for their unwavering support and advocacy. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance in personal injury cases. Their commitment to their clients' well-being is unparalleled, and I cannot thank them enough for helping me navigate through a challenging time with grace and integrity.

I was hit from behind by another vehicle while at a complete stop. I suffered from whiplash, injured wrists, and throwing my already bad back into spasms. I received all the medical and chiropractic treatment I needed to recover. Andrew Dimmock worked hard to assure that I was fairly compensated and all injuries and damages were healed and repaired. Thank you Mr, Dimmock for your expertise in negotiating a fair settlement.

I was rear ended by an uninsured drunk driver at 50mph. Injured and unsure of my options I found Andy Dimmock who repeatedly told me to focus on my recovery and treatment and he would take care of the rest beginning with ensuring my bills were paid via PIP and he would pursue my own insurer for uninsured motorist coverage. As expected I was still receiving treatment a little under a year later at which point Andy informed me my insurers had forwarded the full amount of my policy. I learned the game changer was managing to get my blood sucking chiropractor to provide a detailed assessment of my injuries before and after my accident for my insurers to settle the claim. Meanwhile my chiropractor was simply milking all the PIP and more by having me see him 5 times a week! Andy managed to stem the flow of projected medical fees by getting this claim finalized early and well before my chiropractor and physical therapist sucked the claim dry.

November 1998, Im five years old nearly killed in an auto accident. Lawyer #1 takes the case... Four years pass... little progress and some sort of conflict arises, and he withdraws from my case. Mid 2002 lawyer #2 takes over... Once again little progress... November 2002 lawyer #2s law practice is purchased by Andrew and his business partner. August 2003, Andrew has my train wreck of a case straightened out. Andrew did more for me in a week that lawyer #1 was able to do in four years! I came away with over $5,000 more than I would have had it not been for him! I was born with learning disabilities. We were able to use the settlement money to pay for a tutoring service. That tutoring service was a huge help with my education. To this day when I tell people about my education the story involves "learning to even read was hard...then I went to(institution name)".(Institution name) would not have happened had it not been for Andrew. Even after the tutoring service was paid for, I still had more money than I even would have had he not taken over! Present day, I am now in college. The settlement money that i had was a huge help in avoiding taking out student loans right in the beginning of school. I don't know where I would be today had it not been for Andrew! Sincerely, A very grateful former client

Since meeting Ms. Tubbs at the offices of Rocke Law I was immediately assured of her ability to direct my case in the direction it needed to go. She is an incredible listener who quickly grasped the nuances and details of my case and who clearly communicates to the involved parties what they, and I, must know. I am extremely grateful for her efforts and skill in working on my case and am confident we will arrive at a conclusion that satisfies everyone.

Being entangled in a lawsuit is sort of like finding yourself on the River Styx in the ancient Greek underworld. As you descend deeper into the depths of the lawsuit, you will realize the legal world is not like the land of the living. It’s dark, it’s scary, it has its own set of rules, you’re out of your element, and totally dependent on your lawyer-guide to deliver you to the other side. This is the point where you will either be really thankful you picked a great guide, or really regretful you didn’t. Brittney Tubbs was my lawyer for about a year and a half on an employment discrimination case with my former employer. It’s hard to articulate just how great of a lawyer she is, because there are so many ways in which she is great. She has a mind like a steal trap. She learned every aspect of my case to the point where she remembered the details better than even I did. The greatest thing about Ms. Tubbs though was the peace of mind her legal representation gave me. Instead of me staying up till 2am analyzing the case, she did. Instead of me having to worry about what the other side was going to try and do or say, she did. I’ve never been involved in a legal case before and she explained everything to me every step of the way. I valued her insight because it was always reasonable and trustworthy. And she’s somebody you’d actually like in real life. While she’s tough in depositions (watching her grill your opponent will feel like justice in and of itself), she’s not a jerk about it. The legal process is an ugly, stressful endeavor but with Ms. Tubbs you won’t feel like you’ve sold your soul to get justice. My case ended in a resolution I was happy with and I would highly recommend her work!

Joe was brought on to my case about 6 months before trial by another attorney I hired. He took the lead of the trial process and worked harder than I thought possible to help me. Ultimately we achieved something pretty incredible with the jury verdict, and then he kept fighting and advocating for me through the process of collecting that verdict. If you want somebody who's going to ensure that every detail is covered and that you feel supported and encouraged through the whole process, you can't get any better than Joe Pipinich. He's not just a good lawyer, he's a really good person and that's the key to being so good at what he does.

After contacting Mr Pipinich, we met to talk about my case. I was not sure where to go with my case and I was at least hoping he could point me in the right direction if he could not help me. After going over my paperwork, Joe seemed perturbed. He too was upset at the Ex employer that was trying to rip me off! Joe told me that i had an Excellent case and that he would need to make a couple inquiries and get back to me. A couple days later Joe called and asked to meet. he presented the paperwork that he was ready to have served and gave me some options.I was really impressed by the way Joe explained everything so that I could understand. we chose a path and Joe had the paperwork served. I got nervous when the ex employer retained one of the largest Law offices in Seattle. Joe was so confident,and that made me more confident. their offers started at "ridiculous" then got better. eventually we did settle without going to court.I recieved way more than I was originally owed. I was happily surprised by how quick all this went. I have recommended Joe to others since and i will continue to do so.

Joe Pipinich did an amazing job helping our family through a trying time. About 4 years ago our dog was attacked by two pit bulls that broke through our gate and shattered our border collies front leg. When the owners refused to help with costs and turned it over to their insurance company who placed a value on our dog of only $1000 we contacted Mr. Pipinich and he contacted and fought with the insurance company to get the full medical bills covered this allowed us to get the best help possible to try and save my dogs leg. This was an expensive process to save the dogs leg and in the end amputation was the best option. If not for Mr. Pipinich fighting for us we would have had to put our animal down due to the costs incurred from the damage to our dogs leg. He took on the case and fought for us and our dog and I will say I was impressed by his compassion and fortitude in fighting our case. The insurance company saw our dog as an asset and Joe fought for him as if he was a family member. I believe Joe Pipinich to be a great asset to his profession and will fight for his clients to the very end. Thanks Joe you are a great lawyer and friend.

This was by no means a simple matter because of eviction moratorium restrictions, winter eviction restrictions, conflicting laws, and other barriers. The process went much more smoothly than anticipated. Further, his fees are extremely reasonable. He also doesn't hesitate to refer when outside his areas of expertise. He will expend considerable effort to find a quality referral. You will be pleased with his work.

Christopher worked with me on a business contract breach where the customer owed my company significant money. Engaging in legal action was daunting as my company is a small boutique size firm, up against a large public company. Litigation costs for them would have been a drop in the bucket, but for my company, it would have been monumental. I brought the case because the contract was clear on the terms and conditions. What gave me confidence and conviction was Christopher Reed's experience and capabilities as an attorney. He is highly recommended for the following reasons: -Out of the gate, professional and interested in my case. -He listened and has the business savvy to connect the dots of the issue quickly. He made sure he communicated the issue back so we were in sync. He let me know what type of data he needed in support of my position, and we tackled more evidence as the issue was pulled into different directions. I felt it was an efficient and organized process—money well spent. -Professional and timely in all of his communications, even to let me know, there's a delay from the opposing counsel. I was never left on hold wondering what the next action item was or who owned it. When they were stonewalling, he showed appropriate assertiveness to get them to want to engage but always unwavering in his ethics. Christopher had my full confidence. -He was strategic with me in discussing the negotiation, and had great execution in presenting our position and arguments to opposing counsel. He answered my questions swiftly and helped me understand their arguments and how we could overcome their position. -Christopher has excellent intuition, interpersonal, legal and negotiating skills. If x language in the agreement didn't work for the opposing side, he had another workaround to achieve our goal in the language. His writing skills are impressive. -I believe his ability to be firm yet fair, and knowledgeable of my contract and the law, was vital in achieving not only their attention and engagement, but a 90% payment on the total due! (Yeah!) He far exceeded my initial expectation which was to be largely ignored by this public company. I fully expected they’d draw it out so I incurred significant legal expenses and gave up. I was going to be content with half of the total amount they owed. I highly recommend Christopher Reed. He’s an excellent attorney. He loves the legal field, problem solving, writing, negotiating and helping me navigate the laws without getting too deep into the weeds. He doesn't waste your time, he presents options and pros/cons. He tells you the honest facts. He’ll fight for you. He guided and taught me so I was understanding both the process, our strategy and application of the law. I have to believe the East Coast big city opposing attorney was (secretly) equally impressed with Christopher. The arguments he presented gave the opposing counsel strong data to take back to his customer that compelled them to settle substantially higher than the puny settlement they originally proposed. I not only highly recommend Christopher but will use him again in the future to create business contracts, and also if a situation/issue arises where I need legal counsel.

A fair settlement with the previous contractor seemed very hard for me as English is my second language. But I was lucky to have support from Christopher. For the whole process, he focused on how I “ Feel” and what I “Expect”. Language didn’t become a barrier because we were sharing the exact same goal. Thanks to Christopher effort, we had a fair deal in such a short term. I highly recommend him!

Jonathan was assigned my case which was already in progress when assigned by my insurance company. He immediately familiarized himself with the case, quickly assessed previous efforts and decisions to resolve and made recommendations on how to proceed. It was a bit of a unique scenario, one that John himself indicated he had not seen previously, and throughout the entire process was communicative, professional, informational and assertive which in the end, worked out as favorably as possibly. I would recommend John if you're looking for representation that is assertive while maintaining professionalism, however maintains a no-nonsense demeanor in the pursuit of resolution.

Jonathan helped handle a case where the plaintiff was impacted in their car and sued myself and another car driver for damages. The results were the best that could be expected - very minimal damages on my part, and with only a couple appearances required of me. Mr. Missen showed decorum, poise, and a cheerful disposition during the entire process, which no doubt helped the results turn out as they did. He was knowledgeable without being pushy, and this came across in deposition and arbitration. I was pleased to have his support and skill in the case, and would want him on the case again if a similar situation arose.

I am a homeowner who was sued by a neighbor who filed a "spite" lawsuit against me. Joe successfully defended me against "over-the-top" allegations, by skillfully & methodically debunking the claims. He persistently unraveled the plaintiff's legal maneuvering to attempt to construct a case out of fabrications. To do that, Joe used thoughtful strategy in his presentation of the actual facts of the case, and continually maintained a low-key, articulate professionalism that was very effective. It was obvious in the courtroom that he was respected by the judges who heard various portions of the case. Joe has a high standard of principled ethics that enable him to provide excellent representation. This lawsuit dragged on for over 3 years, & yet my stress level was minimal because I was extremely confident of Joe's abilities to bring about a favorable resolution in my defense. He did not let me down. Another great thing about Joe, is that being the man of integrity he is, I KNOW he would have never chosen to represent the type of individual who sued me--no matter how much they would have been willing to pay him for the representation. Joe Diaz gets an A-plus in my review.

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.

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.
