One of the most common complaints reported by clients about attorneys nationwide is the lack of communication. Clients routinely say that they don’t receive regular updates on their cases, haven’t had direct contact with the attorneys working on their cases, and aren’t quite sure what they are paying for. We pride ourselves in being responsive life insurance attorneys.
We do things differently.
During our first phone call, we will ask how you prefer to be contacted—text, email, phone, Zoom, or letter—as well as when you prefer to be contacted. We strive to provide bi-weekly updates. One of our core values is to use clear, effective, and consistent communication, and we live that value at every touchpoint. No client should ever have to wonder where their case stands, who their attorney is, or how much they will owe at the resolution of their case.
Your life insurance issue is our only focus.
Life Legal is one of the only law firms in Pennsylvania focusing solely on life insurance issues. Other firms dabble in denied life insurance claims or make a single attempt to file an appeal and then cut ties when it doesn’t pay out. At our firm, life insurance matters aren’t a sideline—they are our only line. We founded Life Legal as a full-service life insurance firm dedicated to assisting clients with any life insurance issue that may arise.

Different Needs, Different Fee Options.
At Life Legal, transparency matters. While many of our cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, we also offer hourly and flat-fee services for clients who needs don’t fit that model.
When we work on a contingency fee, it means we only get paid if we recover money for you. Any costs related to your case are initially paid by Life Legal. If we recover funds on your behalf, those costs and our fees are deducted from the recovery. If we don’t recover money for you, you owe us nothing.
For matters that require consultation, document review, or limited legal assistance, we can provide hourly or flat-fee pricing instead. These options allow you to access legal help when you need it most, with clear expectations and no surprise charges.
Our goal is simple: to make sure you understand your options upfront and feel confident in both your plan and the price.
Count on our experience.
Life Legal’s attorneys have dedicated their careers to the legal issues that surround life insurance and to level the playing field for clients who face going up against large, powerful life insurance companies and other related policy or claim issues. If you have had a life insurance claim delayed or denied or simply need legal guidance about your policy, we’re here to guide you through the process, whether that means an appeal, a review, or advice on your next steps, and help you get the life insurance benefits you are owed.
