When ALPS began nearly 25 years ago, the options for legal malpractice insurance were often unreliable and unaffordable. We brought stability to the marketplace and an ongoing commitment to the legal community. Today, ALPS provides comprehensive lawyers’ professional liability insurance to protect and guide lawyers toward a more successful and risk-free practice*. Lawyers benefit from working directly with an insurance company created by lawyers to address the needs of lawyers. Through our strong client relationships and endorsements from more Bar Associations than any other insurance company, ALPS is your trusted advisor.
As a solo attorney, you’re called upon to be all things within your practice. From accounting to IT to new business development, your day-to-day includes much more than merely practicing law. With so much on your radar screen, it’s nice to know that you’re not alone.
You need protection for both you and your clients. You need ALPS to stand behind you as the preeminent provider of claims-made and reported lawyers’ professional liability (LPL) insurance.
Just because you’re a solo attorney doesn’t mean you’re on your own. ALPS has affordable claims-made and reported coverage for solo attorneys. In addition, we can help you with practice management information and additional support services.
We have carefully crafted key policy features that benefit our insureds at the time of greatest need, if a claim arises.
- Defense Costs Paid in Addition to Limits of Liability
- Peer Review or “Settlement and Consent to Settle”
- First Dollar Defense (FDD)
- Aggregate Deductible

They are *not* writing policies for attorneys in California, so don’t waste your time filing out their very long application, only to get a no-California email.

Hi Elizabeth. We indicated in our sponsorship post they don’t write policies in California and encouraged those who are in CA to check out Lawyer’s Mutual Insurance in CA. You can find the link in our CO-OP.

Elizabeth – I sincerely apologize for any frustration caused by this situation. We pride ourselves on our service and being clear & transparent. As Susan mentions, we will update our information on Solo Practice University to make it more clear, and look for ways to make it even more clear on our site.
For any other potential applicants interested in applying, please visit the following link for a list of the states where we are registered: http://www.alpsnet.com/attorneys/insurance/nationwide-protection.aspx
In addition, the front page of our online application lists the same registered states: https://alpsolar.alpsnet.com/Login.aspx
Again, and to your point Elizabeth: we will make this more clear in all areas where you may be inquiring about ALPS. Should you, or anyone else, have questions of any sort I am happy to talk with you directly.
Sincerely,
Matt Lubaroff

We’ll modify this to reflect more clearly they do not underwrite in California so others are aware. Thank you for letting us know of this oversight.
