How to choose an insurance lawyer

  1. Check the lawyer’s status and any public discipline in the state bar or law society directory.
  2. Ask how many insurance law matters the lawyer handles each year, and who at the firm will do the work.
  3. Get the fee arrangement in writing: hourly, flat or contingency, and which costs are charged on top.
  4. Ask how and how often the firm will update you, and how fast it answers calls and emails.
  5. Read recent reviews for how the firm communicated and billed, not only for outcomes.
  6. Ask whether the firm represents policyholders, insurers or both, and how often it handles your type of policy.
  7. Meet more than one firm; many offer a short first consultation, sometimes free.

Questions to ask an insurance lawyer

  • How would you approach a matter like mine, and what are the realistic options?
  • How do you charge, and what will the total likely cost?
  • Who will be my main contact, and how quickly do you reply?
  • Do you represent policyholders or insurance companies?
  • How is your fee calculated if the claim settles?
  • Is there any conflict of interest that would stop you representing me?
