There are many areas of complexity in life insurance that can lead to mistakes, misunderstandings or worse.
Elder Financial Abuse

Elder Financial Abuse

Sadly, financial elder abuse is a spreading issue perpetrated against seniors throughout Los Angeles and the United States.

Insurance Bad Faith

If your life insurance claim is denied, there are statutes of limitations that begin to run immediately. If you fail to pursue a remedy within the statute, you may lose valuable rights. You must act promptly. If you believe that you are a victim of bad faith, it is important to reach out to counsel as soon as possible to understand your rights and to what you may be entitled.

Broker and Agent Malpractice

Your deliberate and decisive action is critical. You need to protect your rights by taking action as soon as you realize there is a potential problem — the statute of limitations clock is ticking.

Life Insurance Incontestability Clause

Whenever a death occurs within two years of the issuance of a policy, the insurance company will scrutinize the application to find any possible reason to deny the claim. Many such denials are based on inadequate reasons. We have over 18 years in the life insurance industry and over 11 years litigating life insurance claims. We can tell you almost immediately whether you have a valid claim or not. But it is important to reach out. As a life insurance attorney, I am prepared to bring nearly 40 years of experience to help you resolve any life insurance contestability issue. It is important to reach out as soon as possible because the statute of limitations may be ticking. I encourage you to get in touch as soon as possible.

Annuity and Life Insurance Replacement

Unscrupulous financial professionals will often try to convince unsuspecting clients that their old policy or annuity is no good anymore and there is a much better one they can put you into. Sometimes this is true. But a lot more often, they are just trying to earn a commission without providing a service of value. What’s worse, when you replace a life insurance policy, a new period of contestability begins to run. If you have been a victim of wrongful replacement (also known as Twisting or Churning), it is imperative that you find someone who can analyze and understand the issues.

Testimonials

Here’s what some of our clients have said

Dear Mr. Blakeman, I just wanted to thank you myself for your persistence in getting Eileen’s cooperation and the work you did in getting Eileen the payout from Aetna that she deserved. Our mom was as honest as the day is long. She would never have knowingly falsified or intentionally been dishonest in her policy application questions. The policy payout is not a fortune, but you don’t know how much it will help us in getting Eileen out of Vegas at the end of September, moved into my house and on her way to a new life in Albuquerque. I’m so looking forward to her arrival. Thanks again and God Bless.
