For Firms That Settle, Not Try

You Settle. We Try. You Still Get Paid.

Insurance carriers know which firms will take a case to trial and which will not - and they price their offers accordingly. If your practice settles claims but does not litigate, refer those cases to a firm with a courtroom record. Your client gets full value, and you share in a larger fee.

The Hidden Cost of Not Litigating

Adjusters Pay Trial Firms More

When an insurer knows a firm will not file suit or seat a jury, there is no pressure to offer full value - and good cases settle for a fraction of what they are worth. That gap is your client's money, and your fee, left on the table.

Referring the case to a trial-ready firm changes the leverage entirely. You keep your client relationship and earn a referral fee, while we shoulder the litigation, the cost, and the risk.

What You Earn

Refer the case and share in the fee - with none of the litigation cost or risk on your books.

Up to 25%

of the attorney's fee for a referral with joint responsibility, or a larger proportional share if you stay involved as co-counsel.

Paid promptly at resolution and reported in our monthly newsletter.

Fee divisions comply with Rule 4-1.5 of the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar, require the client's written consent, and are documented in a written agreement. This is attorney-to-attorney information, not legal advice.

Monthly Case Updates

You receive a written status report every month - so when your client calls you, you already have the answer.

Ideal Cases to Refer

When a Trial Firm Changes the Outcome

These are the cases where a courtroom-ready firm makes the biggest difference - and where settling without that leverage leaves the most on the table.

Serious & Catastrophic Injuries

Surgery, permanent impairment, traumatic brain injury, or wrongful death - where full value requires expert proof.

Disputed Liability

The carrier denies fault or blames your client - cases that settle low unless someone is ready to try them.

Policy-Limits & UM/UIM Disputes

Damages that exceed available coverage, layered policies, or potential bad-faith exposure.

Commercial & Trucking Defendants

Corporate defendants and insurers with deep defense resources who respond only to real litigation pressure.

Stalled or Lowballed Claims

Adjusters dragging their feet or refusing to negotiate fairly because they assume suit is unlikely.

Cases Approaching Suit

Matters nearing a filing deadline, or where the next step is litigation you would rather not handle.

How It Works

From Stalled Claim to Full Value

Refer the Case

Send us the matter that has stalled - or that you would rather not litigate.

Sign the Agreement

We put a written referral or co-counsel agreement in place with your client's consent.

We Litigate

We file, depose, retain experts, and prepare for trial - funding every cost ourselves.

You Get Paid

At resolution, your fee is paid promptly and reported in our monthly network newsletter.

"A referring attorney is trusting us with their client and their reputation. We prepare the case for trial as if it were our own from day one - and we keep you informed and compensated every step of the way."

- David I. Shiner, Founding Attorney

FAQ

Common Questions

No. You can refer the matter outright or stay involved as co-counsel - your choice, set out in writing. The client relationship remains yours, and we never solicit your other clients.

Under Florida Bar Rule 4-1.5, a referral with joint responsibility generally allows up to 25% of the attorney's fee; staying involved as co-counsel can earn a larger proportional share. It is documented in a written agreement with your client's written consent and paid promptly at resolution.

That is often when we add the most value. Refer it before a statute or settlement deadline forces your hand, and we can reset the leverage by preparing the case for litigation.

We do. Once we accept the case, Shiner Law Group advances all costs - experts, depositions, and trial expenses. You carry no financial risk.

Yes. You receive a written status update every month - treatment, negotiations, litigation milestones, and resolution - so you are never left guessing when your client checks in with you.

Serious or disputed claims: catastrophic injuries, contested liability, policy-limits and underinsured-motorist disputes, commercial or trucking defendants, and any claim an insurer is lowballing or refusing to pay fairly.
