If you have to go the attorney route, yes, it will be expensive just by its very nature. Hence my comment about finding a friend or family who is one (or works for one). They may be willing to help you for a minimal charge. However, you don't need to let the adjuster know that you haven't already hired an attorney.
Regardless, you don't have to put up with this. At a very minimum, I suggest calling your state insurance department. If you need help tracking them down, let me know, but they have people who deal with this kind of stuff for a living, and they usually don't like insurance adjusters as a rule.
Let me know if there's anything else that I can do to help.
