Reading the roster in Santa Barbara. Coverage disputes are won on the policy language and the claim file, so bring the full policy (not just the declarations page) and every letter from the adjuster. Look for attorneys who practice policyholder-side insurance law; bad faith cases are commonly taken on contingency because Brandt fees and punitive exposure discipline settlement. Watch the contractual 12-month suit deadline on property claims; it runs faster than most clients expect.
