As far as lawyers, she talked to a few.
This the best deal she come off with: $8,000 retaining fee, 40% of what she is going to receive from the insurance. Let's suppose she'll get what she wants: $500,000 minus 40% will leave her with $300,000, split that with her soon- to- be divorced husband, she'll about $150,000. (Not much consider she'd been working and saving all her life, she is in her '50)
Isn't there anything spelling Black and White: Arson, Nobody charged, Insurance pay ( Yes, No)
life is life there is nothing that is black and white, that's why judges are there to help decide the grey areas.

IMHO insurance companies will do like all companies and refuse or drag feet to pay based on the fact that a crime caused the loss. Shop for other lawyers, contact the state bar and find one that isn't so expensive.
