If You Are In a Lawsuit in San Diego as an Insured Policy Holder You Deserve Excellent Cumis Counsel

aboutbanner

What is cumis counsel?  Think of it as your own independent counsel whose sole job is to protect your interests in the lawsuit.  California law has established that in almost every circumstance the attorneys protecting your insurance company’s policy (and through it, you) have an inherent legal conflict of interest.  The policy requires insurance company attorneys to protect you, and yet their first obligation is to protect the insurance company policy itself – even if that means throwing you under the bus in order to do so.

California created a law that allows you to have your own, independent legal counsel known as a “cumis” counsel.  Best of all your insurance company must pay for the representation of your cumis counsel.  The Watkins Firm has decades of experience serving as an independent or cumis counsel for individuals who are parties to a lawsuit under an insurance policy.  We have extensive trial experience, as well as mediation and arbitration expertise.  We represent you, and your best interests.  We hold the insurance company accountable and ensure that any settlement is fully negotiated to release you from all present and future liability.  Call us today for a free and comprehensive initial consultation at 858-535-1511.  We will discuss your unique situation, and how you can take advantage of the power, expertise and experience of one of the most established legal practices in the San Diego area.
