Scott does a great job of taking care of my legal issues, so I can focus on my Property Management business. I had an issue with a person that had purchased a building from me, and then many months later tried to make an issue that there was a problem with the 2nd floor of the building. We disclosed all in Escrow, but this person still tried to make an issue of it, and Scott quickly and efficiently took care of the issue. This is just one of the cases that Scott handled. His advice is extremely valuable and has certainly helped me make my business more successful. We just forward any possible legal issue to his office, and we are fortunate enough to have them as our attorneys. Mike MF Property Management

Having an aversion to the legal system and its convoluted procedures, it is of the utmost importance that I have a lawyer that I can trust competently to represent my interests, as well as one that can put my concerns at ease during the process.

His firm has been consistently successful in protecting my company’s rights in various types of matters such as contract disputes, unfair trade practices, employment and collections. I have attended trials, arbitrations, administrative hearings and mediations with Scott and have found him to be fully prepared, responsive to our needs, aggressive yet sensible, and he has the rare ability to educate us on each process while considering the business implications of the legal options.

Matt worked with my family and I for years on a very grueling and difficult civil case. We were constantly pleased by Matt's knowledge and his ability to find solutions to each of the many curve balls that were presented throughout this process. It took a lot of creative thinking and problem solving to bring our case to a close and Matt was certainly the best person for that job. He was always extremely diligent in keeping us up to date and informed every step of the way. His communication really is unmatched. Through it all, he helped guide us to the most reasonable and fair outcome, keeping us educated and aware of where the case stood and where it was going. I continue to look forward to working with Matt again in the future and remain grateful for everything that he has done for me and for my family.

Jenny was great to work with. From the first meeting with her, I felt at ease, which is a great quality to have when going through a stressful time. She was very smart and knowledgeable, and even broke things down into layman terms if need be. Jenny was easy to reach by email and responded very promptly. She was honest when it came to whether or not we should keep proceeding and if it would be worth it, which I really appreciated. Overall the outcome of my case wasn't to the best of my liking, but it was not because of her lack of effort. If I did not have her I would have been much worse off. I would definitely recommend and use her again if I needed to.

After 40 years of dealing with attorneys, Lisa is, by far, the most competent, honest, focused attorney I have retained. She is fair but direct and is your advocate throughout the process. Many attorneys will tell you that your case is their number one priority only to be disappointed by the absence of representation and lack of understanding your needs. With Lisa, you are not just another file on her desk but a priority. Hire Lisa and it's handled...don't...and I wish you well because you'll be disappointed. Great attorney!

Lisa Counters represented me with my disability benefit claim on my private disability insurance company and with my Social Security Disability Benefits claim. Lisa was with me from the start of my disability claim application providing knowledgeable advise, assistance with the many forms, and real answers to my many questions. The disability benefit claim process is intimidating and confusing. I could not have completed the disability claims process without Lisa's insight, expertise and aggressive work ethic. Lisa Counters was able to secure disability benefit awards for me from both my private disability insurance company and from the Social Security Administration. The disability benefit awards have improved the quality of my life. Before my disability, I was a businessman for over 30 years. I worked with many lawyers and law firms on a variety of matters. Based on experience, I can truly say that Lisa Counters and The Counters Firm provides excellent legal representation and remarkable service to clients like me with disability benefit claims.

Marcos was assigned to our claim defence by our insurance company and I cannot stress enough how important it was that we received good representation due to it being a very complex case involving a niche industry. Marcos went out of his way to learn about how our niche industry operates, was transparent from the start and communicated every development to us promptly. When faced with a legal issue like the one that was brought against us, it is important to have the best possible representation.

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

Both my husband and I value Mr. Johnstone's insight, and we are very impressed with the integrity and compassion he shared with us while tackling a difficult situation.

I have known Inge Johnstone for almost four years. I was injured in a car wreck when I was 16, and my case took close to three years to settle. During this time, Inge maintained consistent contact. He kept me updated on how things with my case were progressing, he helped me through the deposition process since I had never done it before, and made sure the entire process was as easy as possible for me. I really appreciated that he took the time to get to know me personally and was invested in helping me. I never dreaded having to go to the office, answer a phone call, or reply to an email because he was so friendly, honest, and helpful with me. Overall, I was extremely happy with the work he did. I believe that I could not have found a better attorney anywhere else.

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.
