Questions about documents
Ask what documents the attorney wants to review first. You can ask whether they need the policy, claim letters, estimates, photos, testing reports, receipts, repair invoices, or a timeline.
Questions about the insurance company’s position
If the insurer denied the claim, delayed the claim, or offered less than expected, ask what parts of the insurer’s explanation may matter. Ask whether the denial letter, inspection report, or estimate should be reviewed.
Questions about testing and repair scope
Ask whether smoke, soot, ash, HVAC, or air-quality testing may be relevant. Also ask whether contractor estimates, cleaning scopes, or remediation plans should be compared.
Questions about timing and fees
Ask whether any deadlines may matter, how fees work, what costs may be involved, and what happens if the attorney needs more information before deciding whether they can assist.
