I'm looking for an attorney to assist me with an appeal after my health insurance company denied my claim for GRS

Expert's Assistant chat
Customer: Hi I'm looking for an attorney to assist me with an appeal after my health insurance company denied my claim for GRS (gender reassignment surgery)
JA: Was this discussed with a manager or HR? Or with a lawyer?
Customer: So far neither, I had attempted to navigate through the process myself but between work, school and life I haven't made much progress
JA: Is the workplace "at will" or union? Is the job hourly or salaried?
Customer: I believe it is at will employment, my position is hourly
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: Not that I know of, my location in Hawaii may be of relevance

If you are seeking representation, I can help you with options.

JustAnswer is a site that is only meant to provide for general information, and guidance. While I can give general advice, or review any documentation that you prepare, or is prepared for you as a premium service attorneys on this site are not allowed to represent customers to the site or give referrals.

I understand your inquiry in finding an attorney, while I would like to help you with that directly, I cannot do so. That does not mean that I cannot give you some guidance on how to find an attorney who can represent you.

In order to find an attorney, I would recommend contacting friends or a family member for a recommendation. Or if you cannot do that you can contact the local county bar association which should have a site online.

In order, the best approach would be:

1) Seek a referral from colleagues, friends or family members who have had a successful experience with a lawyer.

2) If none is accessible you can call your county bar association or access the bar association online and request a referral for a lawyer.

3) Go online and do a legal search. There are many websites. Some solicit advertising revenue from lawyers in exchange for placement position - so you should be wary of that. Martindale.com does not. So that's a good site. Martindale displays attorneys bios and backgrounds, so it is helpful for that. But there are others: avvo.com -avvo differentiates attorneys by geography and specialty and it has a comprehensive list, lawyers.com is the largest database, findlaw.com and nolo.com provide other features like legal explanation and research. There are others as well. You can read bios and reviews.

I hope this gives you the guidance that you need.
