1. Pay No Fees Until You Win
   
   After a life-changing health diagnosis, a serious accident, or the loss of a loved one, the last thing you need to worry about is how to pay for a lawyer if your insurance company denies your claim. At Share Lawyers, you don’t pay until you win your case, allowing you to focus on getting your life back on track. Winning your case means recovering money for you either by way of settlement or by obtaining a judgment at trial.

   Fighting a denied insurance claim can be complicated and stressful. That is why we assign a client services lawyer to every client, ensuring that you will always have someone available to answer your questions, clearly communicate what to expect and keep you abreast of what’s going on with your claim.
   
3. Care & Empathy
   
   Our staff of legal professionals treats every client with respect and professional courtesy. Our first priority is to build a good rapport so you feel comfortable sharing personal details about your life and your case.
