Zalma's Insurance Fraud Letter - October 1, 2021 - A Video

October 1, 1979 - 2021 – Another Anniversary – Thank You

Forty-one years ago today I left the world of the employed and became an entrepreneur by opening my own law firm. The law practice was incorporated shortly thereafter as Barry Zalma, Inc. When I opened for business on October 1, 1979, I had no clients and no certainty that I would have any in the future. I had borrowed money from the bank to carry me through the first six months and was concerned about my ability to pay the loan with my third child about to be born.

Much to my surprise and pleasure, on October 1, 1979, at 8:10 a.m., the best claims handler in the London market, Alan Warboys, called from London and provided me with my first case as an independent lawyer to represent Certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s, London. He, and the Lloyd’s Underwriters he represented, showed faith in me as a lawyer and insurance expert. Alan is now, and will forever be, my law firm’s first client and is still and always will be a good friend. He is retired from the market now as I am retired from the practice of law.

Although I retired from the practice of law, I still work an eight hour day, five days a week as a consultant, author, blogger, and videoblogger.

I was admitted to the California Bar on January 2, 1972. I practiced law in California full time until I retired from the practice of law in 2015. To those of you, in addition to Alan, who have honored me by retaining me as your lawyer, thank you for a long, productive and successful legal career.

In 2015 I asked that the California Bar render my license to practice law inactive and it agreed. I will limit my work to acting as an insurance claims handling, insurance fraud and insurance bad faith consultant, expert witness, educator and author.
I Am Not Retired. I am Only Retired from the Practice of Law.
