Searching for a insurance attorney in San Diego County? Counsel when the carrier says no: denied, delayed, and underpaid claims. This page indexes the county's insurance coverage from the State Bar of California's official roll, with identity-verification markers where available.
The law also keeps time: property policies commonly require suit within 12 months of loss, check the policy under Cal. Ins. Code § 2071. The standard fire policy's 12-month suit clause is tolled while the claim is pending (Prudential-LMI v. Superior Court (1990) 51 Cal.3d 674). Bad faith tort claims run two years; breach of written policy, four (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. §§ 335.1, 337). The plaque below carries the citation; the roster that follows carries the rest.
This page is the San Diego County chapter of the registry's statewide record · Insurance Lawyers in California collects all 58 counties.

Cal. Ins. Code § 2071
The standard fire policy's 12-month suit clause is tolled while the claim is pending (Prudential-LMI v. Superior Court (1990) 51 Cal.3d 674). Bad faith tort claims run two years; breach of written policy, four (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. §§ 335.1, 337).
736 attorneys on the official State Bar of California roll list insurance among their practice areas with an address of record in San Diego County.

The roster concentrates in San Diego (539), La Jolla (33), Carlsbad (30) and Encinitas (29).
7 hold a State Bar Certified Legal Specialist designation, a certification issued by the State Bar's Board of Legal Specialization, and not a rating or a ranking.
