I've had a positive outcome with Tom Purtell, http://www.thomaswjpurtell-law.com/ He's based out of San Francisco. He doesn't have a large internet profile but don't let that distract you. He successfully defended me against my own insurance company in a hit and run case, where I was the victim. He also then successfully negotiated with the health insurance who wanted their medical bills paid out of the settlement. In his earlier career he was an in-house lawyer for insurance companies which taught him how they operate inside and out. This knowledge gives him an edge. He ran my case like a game of chess, with strategic calculus.
