Q: Hello I am looking for an attorney that will help me with a denied claim with my auto insurance company....
After a year long investigation in which we gave them everything they asked for.... They denied the claim.
A: If the claim was for personal injuries (like uninsured motorist), many attorneys will take such a case on contingency. That means they get paid a percentage of what you get from the insurance company. If the claim is for property, it is more likely you will have to hire an attorney on an hourly basis.
William John Light and Tim Akpinar agree with this answer
A: Attorneys aren't supposed to contact you and offer to take your case. That is solicitation and is against State Bar Rules. If you post some details about what happened, attorneys on Justia can give you some feedback about your possible options. It would be up to you to contact those attorneys, or others, to discuss representation.
