Last fall, I was referred to Mr. Corzine by another Attorney for specializing in Insurance issues. Ian has been SO willing to assist me multiple times without setting up a retainer. How refreshing is that?! He has truly gone the extra mile, been extremely knowledgeable and incredibly helpful to me with my small business needs & concerns. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Corzine to anyone seeking Insurance, Small Business & legal assistance!

I have recommended a couple of clients to Ian who had problems with getting a response or a reimbursement amount they felt they were entitled to in regards to their insurance claim. Both clients told me that Ian the his firm did a fantastic job and one person stated that he was a "life saver" which confirmed to me that he is the go to guy if you are having a problem with settling a matter with your insurance company.

I have worked with Mr. Miyamoto in regards to several legal matters. A few very simple cases, and one very important case. I can not think of anything more that could have been done on any of these cases. His overall knowledge of law is vast and his honesty, diligence, and insight are flawless. My cases were not similar by any means, but he always knew the legal facts and provided the correct options to proceed every step of the way.

Я не прошёл интервью с офицером и мой кейс был переведён в суд. Я думаю, это произошло из-за того, что я не смог выделить главного из большой информации в моей истории, которую я предоставил на 16 страницах. И плюс волнение. Я первый раз проходил такую процедуру в своей жизни. Опыта не было. Фирма, которую я выбрал, представляла меня в суде города Лос-Анджелес в течении 5,5 лет. Были переносы слушания (ковид, смены судей) но работа продолжалась всё это время. Было очень удобно, практически вся работа проходила онлайн и не требовала от меня постоянного присутствия в офисе, за всё время я приходил в офис два раза. Я нашёл эту фирму через интернет. Я написал свою краткую информацию, мне позвонил мой будущий адвокат, задал несколько важных вопросов по моей истории и после этого пригласил меня в офис, где при личной встречи мы обсудили всё подробнее и приняли решение работать вместе. Интуитивно я понял, что это моя фирма и что это мой адвокат и я не ошибся. Мой адвокат (Anna Tsibel) предложила мне очень удобный способ оплаты своих услуг, выделила главное из моей истории, настраивала меня только на победу, готовила психологически к финальному слушанию, мы собрали много дополнительной информации, и в итоге, адвокат составил очень убедительный кейс используя мою прошлую историю и новую, дополнительную информацию сегодняшнего дня. В итоге, 1 июля 2024 года, после суда (он шёл 1 час) я получил политическое убежище. Для меня получение политического убежища в США – это второй день рождения. Начинается жизнь (хотя она уже идёт с 9 июня 2017 года) в свободной стране, я считаю, что в лучшей стране мира ( мне есть с чем сравнивать) и моё счастье в этой стране теперь будет зависеть только от меня самого. Хочу выразить огромную благодарность Анне Цибель и всей её команде.

I had the privilege of working with Anna Tsibel during a crucial period in my life, navigating the complex landscape of immigration law. Before seeking her assistance, I faced significant challenges, including detention and an impending immigration court trial. Anna's expertise was instrumental from the outset. She not only helped me understand the intricate documentation required but also successfully guided me through each step, ultimately leading to the attainment of my green card. Choosing Anna Tsibel's firm was a decision backed by both personal recommendations and her reputation in the legal community. Her firm's commitment to excellence and client satisfaction, as evidenced by numerous positive reviews, solidified my choice. Working with Anna and her team was a seamless experience characterized by professionalism and meticulous attention to detail. Her ability to navigate the complexities of immigration law with clarity and efficiency was truly impressive. The entire process, which spanned from detention release to green card approval, was handled with utmost competence and dedication. In conclusion, my experience with Anna Tsibel and her firm was nothing short of exceptional. I am immensely grateful for her expertise and unwavering support throughout this journey. I would highly recommend Anna Tsibel to anyone seeking legal counsel in immigration matters. Her professionalism and commitment to achieving positive outcomes are second to none.

Ed Cainglit and his team at Oak Crest Law Group are truly the best! They are extremely knowledgable, accurate, thorough and great people to work with. They know their trade so well that it makes the overwhelming living trust process feel so easy. There are so many people out there advertising wills and trusts that you never know what you are going to get. With Ed and his team, I know exactly what I am going to get and always know that my family and our assets are in good hands when working with them.

Randall possesses an innate ability to alleviate the apprehension that comes with legal consultation. His approach seamlessly combines accessibility with extensive expertise. His meticulous attention to detail and decisiveness not only streamline processes but also yield resolutions that are comprehensive and definitive, minimizing financial expenditures for his clients. Entrusting Randall with my business as well as my personal matters has been the best decision by far as he has since evolved into an invaluable confidant and advisor for my husband and I. Without hesitation, I extend my highest recommendation to the Cohen Law Firm, a bastion of unparalleled proficiency and integrity.

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.
