Verified ClientHired Attorney 2015-2018I highly recommend Reagan Toledano to be your attorney! Over the years I have had to seek the assistance and representation from at least six attorneys (for various reasons) and I can honestly say that Reagan was the ONLY ONE that I have been satisfied with. Reagan took my case regarding an insurance claim after two previous attorneys botched it up and I can honestly say that I wish so much that I had Reagan first. He really knows insurance law (as his specialty). I knew from my first conversation with him that he was different. He allowed me to explain (at length) the details of my insurance case and he actually listened! Reagan really knows his stuff! He is well versed in the intricacies of Insurance Law and he was able to explain everything to me in a way that I understood. He has an admirable attention to detail and he kept me abreast of the status of my case as it progressed. Reagan is an honest, respectful, and empathetic attorney who tells it like it is and I highly recommend him!

When viewing a listing, consider the state advertising restrictions to which lawyers and law firms must adhere, as well as our FindLaw.com Legal Directory disclaimer. Some lawyers publish comparative information regarding the services that they provide which may be subject to specific comparative communications restrictions.
How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
