Steve is very knowledgeable and precise in his delivery in my wrongful foreclosure cases. His approach is vastly effective to the court system which is corrupt in most instances.

Attorney Hoch was an excellent advocate for my legal position. He took the time to listen carefully, demonstrated compassion for my legal matter then offered a determined assertive resolution to my legal issue with great professionalism, perseverance, creativity and the desired outcome.

I grateful the Avvo tool and found Attorney Alan Hoch. I did go through many attorney conversations before I settled on Mr. Hoch. He was patient, thoughtful and even more concise with his empathic approach to help me in most judicial way possible. He was so focused on my result it saved me time and attorney's fees. I just can't say enough good things about Attorney Hoch's efficiency.

From the very moment we contacted Todd, he and his team took control of our concerns, and they never let us down or kept us in the dark. Todd and his team gathered the facts in our case, reviewed with us our options, and put us at ease that we were in good hands. Todd was extremely careful in the actions he took on our behalf, we never had a questionable charge against our account, and the outcome of our case was better than we could have dreamed given the circumstances. I would recommend Mr. Lochner with great confidence, and should we need legal advice again, I would run my issue by Todd before contacting anyone else. We were treated like family, and that made a very difficult time in our lives bearable. We interviewed many lawyers and found that Todd was the best man for the job. Do yourself a favor and call the Lochner Law Firm, we sure are glad we did.

As a client of Ms. Gahanian, I could have not been more impressed, confident, and satisfied with her knowledge of the law, her “bedside manner”, integrity, speed of response and work, and complete professionalism at all times. In other words, if you need legal assistance with which she can help, she is truly “the total package”.

I know there are many big named law firms out there, but I will always choose David Gorewitz. He is very down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and cares about his clients. When the situation calls for it, he is the bulldog that I know I want in a lawyer. He and his staff are always sure to address any concerns I have in a timely fashion, which is so important to me. He definitely has my best interests at heart when representing me. I have had him as a lawyer in three cases since 2004, and he has represented some of my friends and family as well. I get good advice and representation here.

Mr. Gorewitz represented us in a diminished value case for an automobile accident we were involved in. He did an excellent job and we were successful in recovering from the other insurance company for our loss. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Gorewitz was always available to answer questions we had and did a great job keeping us informed on all aspects of our case. At our court date, Mr. Gorewitz did an outstanding job presenting the case, interviewing our expert witness to establish his credibility and methodology, and exposing major holes in the insurance company's expert witness testimony. He was very much prepared and ready to win our case given his 30 years of experience in the legal field.
My wife and I would highly recommend Mr. Gorewitz for those in need of a board certified trial lawyer and we would definitely want him to represent us in the future if the need ever arises.

After dealing with another attorney for my case and ending up getting the raw end of the deal, I met with Mr. Gorewitz personally who reviewed my case, he found that I still had a case to pursue, immediately went after the person who caused my accident and the insurance company and was able to get the full benefits I was entitled to. Never a problem talking directly to the lawyer whenever I asked. Office staff were extremely polite and knowledgable and the personal experience of having a case with this office will be always remembered and will definitely be used in the future if needed.

Jim helped my wife and I during the course of leaving the city to make our first home purchase. Throughout the process Jim explained and educated us through the transaction.
As first time home buyers we had endless questions on financing, legal language, approvals, timelines, etc. Jim took the time to explain all of the details to ensure we understood before making impactful decisions.
Jim's knowledge was an asset while we navigated through a difficult buyers market with very little supply. We highly recommend Jim, and confirm he advocates for his clients to the fullest!!

Mr. Russo represented me in a contract dispute. The seller of a car failed to complete the transaction by providing appropriate documentation so that I could register the vehicle in my home state.

After a horrible experience with a contractor, Mr. Russo advised me how I needed to proceed. Although my contract restricted me from going to court, Mr Russo still helped me get through the ordeal. His knowledge of the contract was very helpful in telling me what I could negotiate and what I should expect. After eight months, I am satisfied with the resolution and I appreciate all of Mr. Russo's advice.

Consulted this Attorney.
Friendly and inviting, knowledgeable. No sugarcoating, tells you how it is, quickly.
Listens plays, devils advocate and to me knows how “thread the needle” as he says. In a sea of lawyers there are many many lawyers, I’m glad I found this guy. Very likeable and approachable. I plan on speaking again with him.

Jonathan and his Firm listened and acted swiftly. The help they are providing is "On Point". The case is in progress, and I did not sleep earlier in the week. But, after their involvement, that has changed for the better. I am not afraid to have this case to proceed to a Courtroom. That is what you look for in an Attorney....

Mr. Valentine is an excelent lawyer and really knows what he is doing. He charges a reasonable price compared to other lawyers that tried to rip me off. I had warrants for traffic tickets and owed about $800 in tickets and he got it all removed for me. I also had some other charges which he helped me clear up without doing a lot of jail time like most lawyers were telling me. I really liked how he told me exactly what was going to happen instead of "I do not really iknow its up to the judge." which is what other lawyers would say. I highly reccomend him to anyone. He is also a very nice person and gets back to you promptly and does not leave you waiting for answers. He will be my lawyer from now on.

Jason Call saved my nursing license. I've been a travel RN since 2008. In 2013, I had multiple charges: two narcotic charting errors along with failure to take an on-site drug screen. I walked away with a "letter of concern" which means ZERO formal discipline. And Jason accomplished this at the discipline hearing which meant I saved thousands! He was even honest enough to give me a refund on what was left of my retainer. In my opinion, Call & Gentry are the leaders of Professional Liscense litigation and have my highest recommendation in knowledge, success & integrity.

I would like to thank Mr. Call for his dedicated and utmost attention to a case I presented to him and his team. In my profession as a nurse we are expected to uphold very high standards for ourselves and our Co workers. I unfortunately fell victim to false allegations. An investigation was launched and I was facing harsh penalties. The investigation was poorly handled by the Board of Nursing. When I seen the statements and the direction the board was heading with their decision I consulted and hired Mr. Call. Never being in this situation before I did not expect Mr Call to perform a miracle. I was just asking for someone to stand up for me and my best interests. However, Mr. Call and his team kept me informed of the progress in my case. He was very straightforward and made no empty promises. In the end Mr Call and his team brought up many discrepancies in the investigation and dug as deep as they could go. His team brought up many mistakes the investigater made and showed how they were primarily making their desicions on hearsay and not hard facts. The Board overturned their desicion to enforce action and my career has been saved. To top everything off Mr. Call informed me that all the money was not used in my case and I am receiving over 1000 dollars back....I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you for reading, and if you need a straight shooting, no BS lawyer in your corner, Mr Call and his team are the ones you want.

Attorney Stephen Sobin was efficient, personable, on point, knowledgeable about the matter, and very accessible. He wasted no time in coming to a very agreeable r solution. He is extremely bright and was able to provide his analysis in "plain language". Attorney Sobin was very easy to deal with and always returned my calls regarding questions in an expeditious manner.
After my first experience with Attorney Sobin, I again consulted with him on other unrelated matters (a probate matter and a professional work-related complex right of publicity type legal entertainment matter. He was able to deal with both without a problem. He's a very intelligent attorney who is quite competent in handling any and all questions I've posed -- even those which he typically would not be expected to be proficient in. The levels of difficulties varied in all of matters Attorney Sobin handled for me, and he dealt with them all in an efficient, successful manner. An outstanding plus in having Attorney Sobin represent you is that he is proficient in all areas of legal matters. He has been a pleasure to work with and his end results have been very rewarding.

Attorney Sobin recently represented me on my motor vehicle accident case, and I have to say that his work ethic combined with his empathy was extraordinary. He treated me as if my case were the only one on his desk, which I know was the farthest thing from the truth. Attorney Sobin was always available to answer my many, many questions and never once made me feel bad about my inquisitive nature. He managed to seek out little details that I think even surprised the opposing attorney! At times I was unsure that I wanted to follow through due to the long process, but his confidence in my case kept me going. Ultimately, it paid off! I will always be calling on Attorney Sobin for any legal matters, and I couldn't recommend him more highly!

Mr. Furtado was instrumental in our successful resolution of a large hail damage claim against the insurance company. He was extremely knowledgeable and his advice and strategy was absolutely client focused. His main objective was to get our damages covered. Most attorneys in this field seem to be focused on getting a reasonable settlement with with as little effort as possible. Others we interviewed were not as passionate or knowledgeable and were clearly focused on a quick settlement and little effort on their part. David understood our real need to get a new roof etc and kept this at the forefront and was willing to keep fighting until we were satisfied. Next time I will skip the public adjuster and go straight to David Furtado's firm.

David helped me with a domestic violence case that was complicated by exaggerated claims from the victim. My desired outcome was a deferred judgement which was not happening as long as the court had reason not to. David used extensive knowledge of procedural motions and the prosecution to gain victory after many months of work.
It was costly. But I am convinced I could have paid much more or worse, ended up with a domestic violence conviction permanently on my record.

We hired Mr Whitney from AndersonGlenn LLC to represent us and our Special Needs daughter who was forcibly masked by tying it on with a nylon cord. His passion for the vulnerable was very moving for us as parents. He believed in us, our cause of action and fought hard for our family to receive justice. Due to his and his team’s efforts we were able to secure a settlement after a long battle in Federal Court. Thank you Nick! If we ever need faithful representation again, we know the only attorney who we will call.

Justin helped me to make my television show a reality by advising me as to how to negotiate a production contract with a studio in South Florida. He took the time to go line-by-line through the proposed contract with me and my colleagues, highlighting several clauses that we didn't even notice that turned out to be extremely unfair and detrimental to our project. I would highly recommend Justin to anyone looking to negotiate or review complex business contracts.

Attorney Warren did an excellent job for me drafting a pre-nuptial agreement that will protect me if worse comes to worse in my relationship. My particular personal circumstances warranted the addition of several clauses that were very complex, but Mr. Warren was patient first in gathering all of the information required to draft the agreement, and was also patient in explaining everything that he had drafted to meet my requirements. If you're in the market for a Prenup, you couldn't do any better. Thanks again!! :D

Our business is a family owned wholesale distributor and we have been working with Matt for over a year now. We couldn't be happier with the caliber of service, responsiveness and continual professionalism Matt has demonstrated thus far. He has helped us with a number of collections cases, which we had been trying to deal with in-house, unsuccessfully, for many years. Matt's approach has allowed us to address problematic accounts in a professional manner without jeopardizing our long term business relationships. Throughout each case, Matt has been able to clearly explain all of our options and their potential outcomes, as well as how each situation plays into the broader context of our business.
Additionally, Matt has been advising us on our internal processes related to our customer credit accounts. He has helped identify ways for us to better protect ourselves when extending credit and ways to make sure we are in the best position possible in the event that something goes wrong. Working with Matt, we feel much more informed about the legal process and the systems in place to help companies like us deal with different situations.
We will undoubtedly continue our relationship with Matt and give him our highest endorsement.

I have and will recommend Matthew to any business owner looking for solid advice or representation.

Working with Mr. Blaine was an experience in a class by itself. Not only was he very professional, timely, and informative, he was personable enough to relate to on a level that helped with the stress of dealing with a legal matter. My phone calls were returned the same day every time, emails returned within an hour or two at most, and Mr. Blaine never seemed to be rushing me through any of my questions or concerns. Any time I had a question, he would listen genuinely and walk me through the steps it took to resolve the issue.

Mr. Stephenson has represented a number of my insured physicians (eight) through their medical malpractice trials and has done an excellent job in every instance. In each case, we received a favorable verdict, due in no small part to Michael's exhaustive pre-trial preparations and good calls during trial. He and his support staff/associates do a good job during discovery and kept everyone involved and informed. The physicians appreciate him and he does well with Juries and judges. I recommend him without hesitation.

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.
