Question 1

Should I negotiate with an insurance adjuster before hiring an attorney?

Accepted Answer

It is strongly advised not to negotiate with an insurance adjuster or discuss your case before consulting with an attorney, especially after an accident.

Contacting The Stanley Law Group first ensures you understand your rights.

The firm evaluates these factors to assess your case's value.
